  • Political Constructions of Transnational EU Migrants in Ireland
    FROM THE MOUTHS OF JANUS: Political constructions of transnational EU migrants in Ireland Martin J. Power, Amanda Haynes, Eoin Devereux Introduction INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INDICATES that recessionary periods may be accom- panied by a decline in the quality of relations between the majority population and migrant groups as the latter are at risk of being scapegoated for the economic down- turn. In that context, political leadership on the matter of immigration is of crucial importance, with political parties having a key role to play in framing how the public understand immigration. This article is based on research which examined how politicians construct non-Irish EU immigrants to Ireland through an analysis of the content of statements attributed to this group in the print media. The article focuses on those statements relating to welfare and the economy, which were among a larger range of themes identified in the wider study. Our sample of articles demonstrates that representatives on both the left and right of the political spectrum were found to commonly address the issue of immigration as a social problem, whether by contributing to its framing as a problem, or by seek- ing to contradict its problematisation. In particular, our analysis demonstrated that some representatives of mainstream parties contribute to a discourse whereby migrants are constructed as fraudulent and as burdens on the economy. Drawing on theories (McLaren and Johnson, ;Blumer,;Quillian,;Espenshadeand Hempstead, ) that link anti-immigrant hostility to perceptions of resource com- petition, our paper argues that such political constructions of EU migrants reflect a neoliberal understanding of citizenship which prioritises the economic citizen.

  • Statement by Alan Shatter, Former Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence (2011-2014) on Publication of the O'higgins Commission Report
    Statement by Alan Shatter, former Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence (2011-2014) on publication of the O'Higgins Commission Report Shatter welcomes Report's findings I want to thank Mr Justice Kevin O'Higgins and his team for the manner in which the Commission's investigation was conducted, their careful and thorough approach to establish the truth and to ensure the application of fair procedures. I welcome that the O'Higgins Commission, having conducted an independent sworn statutory Commission of Investigation, has concluded that, when Minister for Justice, I took "very seriously" the complaints and allegations of 23rd January 2012, made by Sgt Maurice McCabe through the Confidential Recipient and that there were "compelling considerations" which justified my response to them. (These are detailed in Para 13.123 & 124 of the Commission's Report). Contrary to the Guerin Report's assertion that I failed "to heed the voice" of Sgt McCabe, I also welcome that the O'Higgins Commission found that I had "very substantial concerns" about Sgt McCabes' complaints and that at all times I dealt "professionally", "promptly", "reasonably" and "appropriately" with them. Moreover, contrary to the Guerin Report, the O'Higgins Commission also found that I was "intimately" aware of the relevant applicable legislation, as were officials in the Department of Justice. The O'Higgins Commission also rejects the contention of Sgt McCabe, given credence in the Guerin Report, that in my initially seeking a report from the Garda Commissioner on the serious allegations made by Sgt McCabe I was asking the Commissioner to "investigate himself". The Commission concludes that my doing so was "an obvious, prudent and sensible thing to do" and had I "acted otherwise" I would have been "open to justified criticism".

    BETWEEN DOMINANCE AND SUBSERVIENCE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EXECUTIVE POWER IN IRELAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES CONOR CASEY TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN Thesis submitted for the deGree of PhD in law, 2021 i Declaration, online access and the General Data Protection ReGulation I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. I consent to the examiner retaining a copy of the thesis beyond the examining period, should they so wish (EU GDPR May 2018). ii SUMMARY This thesis undertakes a comparative constitutional analysis of the position of the political executive in Ireland, United Kingdom, and the United States. I address three central questions. First, why has the executive become the most powerful and predominant branch of each state? Second, what does its predominant status tell us about the conceptual nature of the political executive in these, and similar, constitutional systems? Third, is the predominant status of the political executive a normatively positive or negative feature of these political systems? These questions are important by virtue of the fact the political executive is the centre of public power in the contemporary state, despite the fact historical and formal legal accounts of executive power are modest - a pale reflection of the executive’s current predominant status.

The Quiet-Loud-Quiet Politics of Post-Crisis Consumer Bankruptcy Law: the case of Ireland and the Troika Joseph Spooner A decade after the Global Financial Crisis, many developed economies continue to strain under excessive household debt. This article presents evidence suggesting that the failure of policymakers to enact debt relief measures may lie in the superior influence of the coordinated and concentrated financial sector over legislative processes as compared to the diffuse and disorganised interests of consumer debtors.

  • Driving Penal Reform
    Driving penal reform Mary Rogan, Head of Law and Assistant Head of the School of Languages, Law and Society, Dublin Institute of Technology, Chairperson of the Irish Penal Reform Trust Howard League What is Justice? Working Papers 12/2014 Driving penal reform Mary Rogan, Head of Law and Assistant Head of the School of Languages, Law and Society, Dublin Institute of Technology, Chairperson of the Irish Penal Reform Trust Abstract For organisations and individuals involved in penal reform, influencing policy can be frustrating, slow and enigmatic. Models of penal change can provide guidance regarding the drivers of and influences on penal policy, and analysing the policy process can offer both theoretical insights and practical lessons for penal reform groups. This paper seeks to add to the growing literature on policymaking by exploring the example of the Republic of Ireland, which is in the process of changing its penal policy from one which prioritised penal expansion to one which advocates a decarceration strategy. The particular experience of Ireland since 2011 indicates a number of learning points for penal reformers, including the importance of grasping the opportunity presented by a change of government, establishing links with all parties, and, in some cases, providing a research function for politicians in order to create the best chance of having policy positions included in political commitments. The paper also explores the influence of international and domestic mechanisms for the protection of human rights on penal change, as well as the actions of senior prison officials. The case of Ireland shows that policies emphasising penal expansionism can be reversed through a combination of a favourable, or at least distracted, political culture, energetic individuals, and NGOs willing to work constructively with policymakers.
