  • Re-Tweeting Election #Ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD
    Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD 1 Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Introduction The 2011 General Election was the first Twitter Election in Ireland. The appetite for increased engagement, accountability and interaction via the social media platform followed the resignation of Defence Minister Willie O’Dea in February 2010, in part because of a carefully composed tweet. By January 2011, Twitter was part of the daily political discourse, as candidates posted their thoughts, policies, pictures and links in the competitive war to raise profiles and attract eyeballs. The beauty of Twitter is that it allows your ‘followers’ to view you in a different lens from the normal political script, and to engage with you on a variety of topics political, personal, trivial and even philosophical. It also allows politicians break some news at appropriate times, and share views on national events without the constraints of a formal press release. This ebook is based on all the tweets published over the course of the General Election campaign, from the announcement of Labour’s motion of no confidence in the government to the day of the election result. It is important to consider that the commentary on the tweets was completed in the months immediately after the election in February 2011, when my memory of events and emotions was still raw and fresh, and not two years later. Therefore, the commentary provided is frozen in 2011 and has not been altered to take account of two years in government and developments in 2013. The tweets and reflections are frozen in time.

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

    KASPress Ireland 12.02.16 – 18.02.16 Welcome to KASPress Ireland, our weekly summary of relevant and interesting news from the Irish press. Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung London Office News Summary Email: [email protected] Politics . Taoiseach Enda Kenny will travel to Brussels later as EU leaders try to cut a deal with Britain to prevent a so-called "Brexit". Ireland could be allowed to limit welfare benefits to migrant workers from other European Union member states under a proposal under consideration by the European Commission last night ahead of a key EU summit on Britain’s membership of the bloc. There is growing anxiety in Fine Gael at the party’s failure to generate the momentum it had counted on going into the second half of the general election campaign. Taoiseach Enda Kenny has finally ruled out going into government with Fianna Fáil after the general election, raising the spectre of a hung Dáil. Latest Red C poll reveals a decline in support for Fine Gael and Sinn Féin, while support for Independents has grown. Ireland has been selected to co-chair a major United Nations summit of world leaders on refugees and migration later this year. The prospect of a Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil government moved a step closer after Taoiseach Enda Kenny repeatedly refused to rule out doing business with Micheál Martin. Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Fianna Fáil leader Micheal Martin will take the gloves off this week in an all-out battle to win the support of former Fianna Fáil voters who 'loaned' their vote to Fine Gael and Labour in the last election.

  • Trends and Issues in Personal Injury Litigation1
    IRISH JUDICIAL STUDIES JOURNAL 107 TRENDS AND ISSUES IN PERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION1 Abstract: In this article the emerging trends in the trial and conduct of Personal Injury litigation in Ireland is examined. This will be through analysis of the role of the judge in these cases and an exploration of developments in statute and case law, with a particular focus on false and exaggerated claims and on s. 26 of the Civil Liability Act and Courts Act 2004. There is also a focus on debates surrounding damages and costs in this area. Authors: Ms Justice Bronagh O’Hanlon, Chloe O’Reilly, and Niall Williams The Role of the Judge in Personal Injury Litigation Posner has written that ‘the main purpose of the Separation of Powers is, in economic terms, to prevent the monopolisation of the coercive power of the State …’ 2 A key question when examining issues in this area is the role the legislative and judicial branches of state should have with regard to personal injury. The importance of an independent judiciary cannot be overstated – and accordingly this has been given great significance in our laws. Per Article 35.2° of the Constitution, ‘All judges shall be independent in the exercise of their judicial functions and subject only to this Constitution and the law’. Every person appointed to be a judge must take the oath set out in Article 34.6.1° of the Constitution the wording of which includes the phrase ‘without fear or favour, affection or ill-will towards any man, and that I will uphold the Constitution and the laws’.
