  • Obstacles to Women's Political Participation in Ireland*
    The Economic and Social Review, Vol. 18, .No. 3, April, 1987, 189-214. Bishops and Bailiwicks: Obstacles to Women's Political Participation in Ireland* VICKY RANDALL Polytechnic of Central London AILBHE SMYTH University College Dublin Abstract: Women are a small minority of political office-holders in Ireland as elsewhere. The authors I list provide details of women's representation in different political arenas, before proceeding to identify the principal determinants ol women's willingness to seek ollice — socialisation, domestic constrain Is and access lo appropriate educational and professional qualifications — and the institutional barriers they encounter. Two features of particular relevance in Ireland are the impact of Roman Catholicism on political culture and the role of localism in parly politics. So long as ihese retain their hold there is little prospect of a drama lie increase in women's political representation. I INTRODUCTION ery few women achieve high political office in Ireland. This Vfact may be familiar but the reasons are less so. Yet the relative absence of women from the public political arena is likely to be of considerable consequence for the representation of their interests as well as constituting an important feature of the (male dominated) Irish political system. In this article we shall point to some of the key determinants of women's political participa­ tion, of their willingness to stand for office and of their chances of success. Such an analysis should contribute to a better understanding of how women have been excluded from the public political domain. To date specifically Irish source materials are in limited supply (but see Barnes, 1975; Manning, 1978; Carty, 1980; Laffan, 1981; Tansey, 1984; Smyth, 1985).

  • Laurence Kelly the Oireachtas
    LAURENCE KELLY THE OIREACHTAS: EXAMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF TWO COMMITTEES OF THE 27TH DAIL AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONS OF PARLIAMENT May, 1998 ABSTRACT This dissertation set out to review the array of Oireachtas Select and Joint Committees created at the start of the 27th Dail in 1993 and reestablished following the change of government in 1995 and to explore their impact on the functions of parliament. To begin with, secondary literature relating to tasks associated with parliaments is discussed drawing on Irish experiences and practices where possible. The many debates on Oireachtas reform over the past twenty years are examined, primarily with a view to learning the views of parliamentarians regarding the specific use of committees. A range of factors which it is felt have a critical impact on the operations of parliamentary committees and their members in a number of countries are presented for consideration. An overview of the Oireachtas committees in existence in 1996 illustrating such features as the role of women, payments to chairpersons and extent of membership by deputies and senators is offered. Two case studies relating to the operations of the Select Committee on Legislation and Security and the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs examine the detailed activities of both these committees for the period 1993 - 1996, highlighting the degree of involvement by members, workload, observations of participants and main players over time, difficulties encountered and a number of observations are presented regarding their operations. The study concludes that the committees offered parliamentarians, government and interest groups a unique opportunity to unleash, enkindle and fuse talents and knowledge from sources hitherto largely removed and uninvolved in detailed public policy formation.
