  • Guide to the 30 Dáil for Anti-Poverty Groups
    European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) Ireland Guide to the 30th Dáil for Anti-Poverty Groups ‘EAPN Ireland is a network of groups and individuals working against poverty and social exclusion. Our objective is to put the fight against poverty at the top of the European and Irish agendas’ Contents Page Acknowledgements 2 Introduction 2 The Parties 4 Dáil Session Guide 5 A Brief Guide to Legislation 7 Dáil Committees 9 The TD in the Dáil 9 Contacting a TD 12 APPENDICES 1: List of Committees and Spokespersons 2: Government Ministers and Party Spokespersons 1 Introduction This Guide has been produced by the European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) Ireland. It is intended as a short briefing on the functioning of the Dáil and a simple explanation of specific areas that may be of interest to people operating in the community/NGO sector in attempting to make the best use of the Dáil. This briefing document is produced as a result of the EAPN Focus on Poverty in Ireland project, which started in December 2006. This project aimed to raise awareness of poverty and put poverty reduction at the top of the political agenda, while also promoting understanding and involvement in the social inclusion process among people experiencing poverty. This Guide is intended as an accompanying document to the EAPN Guide to Understanding and Engaging with the European Union. The overall aim in producing these two guides is to inform people working in the community and voluntary sector of how to engage with the Irish Parliament and the European Union in influencing policy and voicing their concerns about poverty and social inclusion issues.

    Fifth Meeting - 5pm on 10th July 2018 Private Dining Room, Leinster House In attendance: Chair Senator Michael McDowell SC, Senator Alice Mary Higgins, Senator Fintan Warfield, Senator Gabrielle McFadden, Senator Grace O’Sullivan, Senator Ivana Bacik, Senator Jerry Buttimer, Senator Maria Byrne, Senator Paddy Burke, Secretariat, Department of the Taoiseach: Síle de Búrca, Elizabeth Lyne Invited Experts: Franchise Section DHPLG (Fiona Quinn, Barry Ryan, Mairead Ryan), Dr. Maurice Manning, Mr. Joe O’Toole Apologies Dr. Brian Hunt, Jack Chambers TD, Senator Ned O'Sullivan, Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile, Shane Cassells TD, Shane Ross TD, Tommy Broughan TD Minutes 1. Minutes from 4th meeting agreed with 1 minor amendment. 2. The Chair introduced the invited experts: Franchise Section DHPLG, Dr Manning and Mr. O’Toole. 3. The Franchise Section discussed work underway on electoral reform including the forthcoming referendum on presidential elections and the Programme for Government commitment on the establishment of an Electoral Commission. While it was acknowledged that the role of the Franchise section on Seanad Elections is limited, it was noted there is strong potential for cross-over with the Group’s work. It was advised there is considerable benefit to ensuring proposals developed by the Group are transferable and modular to the other proposed electoral reforms. 4. It was agreed by all present that the Group’s final recommendations and legislation should be produced in alignment with the Franchise Section’s work. With this in mind, the Chair will ask Brian Hunt to draft a modular bill that could be enacted in parts. 5. Both Dr Manning and Mr O’Toole contributed their expertise and experience throughout discussions, particularly in respect of discussion on voluntary registration processes, the security of online voting versus postal voting, and implementation timeframes.
