  • Loyalty to and Respect for Our State
    TEXT OF AN ADDRESS BY MICHAEL MC DOWELL SC TO THE 32ND ANNUAL MAGILL SUMMER SCHOOL AND ARTS WEEK MONDAY 23RD JULY 2012 REFORMING AND REBUILDING OUR STATE LOYALTY TO AND RESPECT FOR OUR STATE This year, 2012, is the centenary of the first year of a decade of historical events which gave birth to a free, independent and sovereign Irish State. A hundred years ago, the Home Rule crisis was producing convulsions not merely on this island but also in the political system in Great Britain. The Ulster Unionists set in train the series of events that was to include the Ulster Covenant, the establishment of a provisional government, and the establishment of the Ulster Volunteers, a direct threat to the authority of the Westminster government. These events, we know, set in train the foundation of the Irish Volunteers, to the Easter Rising, to the War of Independence and to the establishment of the Irish Free State. In the 15 years following the Treaty, a tragic civil war provided the backdrop of the development of the sovereign independent democratic Irish Republic that we have today, and for our Constitution. LOYALTY TO THE STATE While everybody knows that their rights as citizens of that State are enshrined and protected in a written constitution which cannot be amended save by the decision of the people themselves, few enough people ever pay attention to Article 9.3 of the Constitution, a short paragraph which simply states: “Fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the State are fundamental political duties of all citizens.” This means that our fundamental political duty as citizens is to owe our allegiance to the Irish Nation and to give our loyalty to the free independent Irish State that our grandfathers and grandmothers fought for, shaped and built over two decades from 1916 to 1937.

  • A Vocationally Based Upper House? Lessons from Ireland
    A Vocationally Based Upper House? Lessons from Ireland Meg Russell February 1999 Executive Summary The current House of Lords includes ‘crossbenchers’ as a significant element within its membership. These members do not take a party whip, and introduce an element of independence amongst the views of members of the upper house. The government has stated its commitment to retaining an independent element within the reformed House of Lords, and the means of achieving this will be a difficult issue for the Royal Commission on Lords reform to resolve. One method which has occasionally been suggested is the formal representation of different professions or other interest groups such as trade unions or charities in the upper house. The Irish second chamber, the Seanad (Senate), provides the only remaining example of such a system of parliamentary representation in the world. It is therefore an interesting model to study in order to learn how such a model might work in the UK. The key points of interest about the Irish Seanad include: • The Seanad comprises 60 members, 43 of whom are elected to represent vocational groups. These candidates are organised in five panels, representing, for example, agriculture, culture and education, industry and commerce. Of the remaining places, six are elected by university graduates and 11 are appointed by the Taoiseach (Prime Minister). • Despite the vocational structure of the elections, most members of the Seanad take a party whip. This is because the electorate for the panel seats are councillors and members of parliament, who are closely aligned to parties, and the involvement of independent vocational bodies is limited to nomination of candidates.

It focuses on the period of the early years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and draws on Martin J. McCleery’s recent work on internment (2015) to stress the importance of personal testimonies in reassessing the historical impact of micro-events and / or local events on people’s lives.
