  • Tuarascáil Bhliantúil Annual Report 2014
    TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014 COMHAIRLE CONTAE LÚ LOUTH COUNTY COUNCIL COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS The Arms of the County, as granted by the Chief Herald to the Council in 1976, are derived as follows:- “Vert a besant charged with a Dexter Hand aversant coupled at the wrist proper” This is the description of the lower part of the shield which is coloured green (vert) and on which is imposed a heraldic expression of the Dextera Dei or Right Hand of God from Muireadach’s Cross at Monasterboice. As on the latter, the armorial design shows the hand against a circular background or nimbus. This section of the Arms represents in particular the rural (or County Health District) part of the County. Chief Sable, two ancient ships, sails set argent The top part of the Arms is black in colour commemorating Muirthemne, the old Irish name of the sea off the County Louth Coast, and which translated into English means the “darkness of the sea”. The ships are inspired by the Coat of Arms of the Borough of Drogheda, which includes a ship anchored at a quayside. Each ship can be taken to represent respectively the Borough of Drogheda and the Urban District of Dundalk, both areas comprised within the administrative County. The ships are also representational of the fact that the County has always been a great centre of trade and commerce. The Crest The Crest incorporates a sword, the symbol of administration, surrounded by ears of barley. This design at once illustrates the nature of the Coat of Arms as a symbol of a civic administration, and the importance of agriculture in the life of the County.

  • Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010
    Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010 SECTION 1 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order on the grounds that it would expand the scope of the Bill. [825]Amendment No. 1 not moved. Senator Dominic Hannigan: I move amendment No. 2: In page 3, subsection (2), line 14, after “Minister” to insert “for Foreign Affairs”. The purpose of the amendment is to insert “for Foreign Affairs” after “Minister” because there is no definition of “Minister” in the Bill. Senator Dan Boyle: I thank the Labour Party Senators for proposing this amendment. I believe it is a drafting improvement and I am quite happy to accept it. Amendment agreed to. Question proposed: “That section 1, as amended, stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I seek an explanation, although perhaps it will not be possible to provide one. Did I understand the Cathaoirleach to state amendment No. 1 was ruled out of order because it caused a charge on the Exchequer? An Cathaoirleach: No, it was ruled out of order for expanding the scope of the Bill. Senator David Norris: I see. I thank the Cathaoirleach. Question put and agreed to. SECTION 2 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 3 is ruled out of order as it would expand the scope of the Bill. Amendment No. 3 not moved. Question proposed: “That section 2 stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I do not mean to be pestiferous but how can a deletion expand the scope of a Bill? Surely it would contract it.

  • Chapter 2 Elections and Political Communication Donnacha Ó
    Chapter 2 Elections and political communication Donnacha Ó Beacháin Election campaigns are sporadic events during which the apathy that the non- participatory political system engenders has to be momentarily surmounted to inject renewed legitimacy into the system of organised political parties. How the citizenry are to be motivated to mobilise from their habitual passivity depends on the quality and quantity of political communication with the electorate. In short it is influenced, if not determined, by the character of the election campaign. This chapter provides a brief introduction to how those competing for votes have communicated with the Irish electorate since the foundation of the state. Campaign slogans, techniques and candidates As the revolutionary generation that had monopolised political power for the first four decades of independence exited the political stage during the 1960s, prospective candidates for election had to find new ways of getting on the ticket. For those not part of a political dynasty forged during the formative years of the state, sport proved another way of coming to the attention of the electorate, and the party leaderships. The 1965 general election returned 17 former Gaelic games stars (Whyte, 1966, 31) but a focus on GAA luminaries provides only a partial picture of the influence of the organisation. Brian Farrell (1971, 321–22) has noted that the 1969 election returned in addition to 15 GAA ‘stars’ four GAA county officials and another 25 deputies who had been or continued to be active within the GAA as players or officials. The most significant figure of this new generation was Jack Lynch, who governed Ireland for 43 most of the period spanning the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, and whose complete lack of a political pedigree was compensated for by having won six All-Ireland hurling and football medals.

  • Green Party Convention 13-14 July
    LEADING THE CHANGE 2019 BLACKHALL PLACE GREEN PARTY12 - 15 JULYCONVENTION 13-142019 JULY WELCOME TO STONEYBATTER! FÁILTE GO BÓTHAR NA GCLOCH! Welcome to Dublin Central! It is 1,200 years since the Vikings first stepped ashore from their longboats onto the muddy northern shores of the River Liffey; just down the road from where we’re holding our Convention. Dublin 7 has long been known for cattle-dealing and glass- making, and in recent years has become a creative hub with cultural and food businesses attracted to the area. You’ll be able to savour hand-made ice-cream from Christiano in Sorrento’s chipper, or a flat white from Love Supreme. The Lilliput Press is just around the corner off Arbour Place, and Bí Urban is an amazing studio for social creativity on Manor Street. The National Museum at Collins Barracks is nearby, as are the graves of the 1916 leaders. In 1997 I ran in the General Election here before being elected in 2002 in Dún Laoghaire. Cllr. Neasa Hourigan now represents Cabra and Glasnevin just up the road, and is our candidate for the next General Election. Cllr. Michael Pidgeon’s ward is a stone’s throw away across the river. As a councillor here for the last five years I have focussed on making the city easier to get around, tackling disadvantage, and the housing crisis. Recently the City Council has upgraded older persons’ housing at St. Bricin’s off Arbour Hill to a Passive House standard. Plans for the Liffey Cycle route are in the pipeline, as are proposals to regenerate the nearby Fruit and Vegetable Markets.
