This is the first comprehensive study of premiums 406 17 December 2019 and cost claims in Ireland and it undermines the narrative of the companies and their claims about spiralling pay-outs and increased claims being the major factor underpinning growing premium increases� It found that between 2009 and 2018, the average cost of claims per policy fell by 2�5%, while average premiums jumped by 42%� It is even more alarming that in the past five years, from 2013 to 2018, average premiums went up by 62%. Meanwhile, the industry generated an average operating profit of 9%, twice the level of profitability seen in the United Kingdom� We know personal injuries claims, the Personal Injuries Assessment Board, PIAB, and legal costs are also factors� Last week, the Taoiseach told me in the Dáil that motor insur- ance had come down by 20% or 30%� 17/12/2019B00700The Taoiseach: In the long term� 17/12/2019B00800Deputy Micheál Martin: This report says they went up in the past five years by 62%. The Taoiseach, the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Justice and Equality have had a hands-off policy on this for years. Was the Government’s response due to ignorance or gross incompetence? Did the Government know what was going on in recent years and the degree to which people, in particular young people, were being ripped off while the Government failed to protect them from this industry and to take the measures and the decisive intervention that would have made a difference? The Taoiseach’s comments to me last week reveal a level of disconnect with the reality on the ground that is quite shocking� Does the Taoiseach accept that the Government has failed to protect people from

  • Reporters Without Borders TV5 Monde Prize 2015 Nominees
    Reporters Without Borders ­ TV5 Monde Prize 2015 Nominees Journalist Category Mahmoud Abou Zeid, aka Shawkan (Egypt) “I am a photojournalist, not a criminal,” Shawkan wrote from Tora prison in February. “My ​ ​ ​ indefinite detention is psychologically unbearable. Not even animals would survive in these conditions." ​ Shawkan is an Egyptian freelance photojournalist who has been in pre­trial detention for more than 760 days. He was arrested on 14 August 2013 while providing the US photojournalism agency Demotix and the US digital media company Corbis with coverage of ​ ​ ​ ​ the violence used to disperse demonstrations by deposed President Mohamed Morsi’s supporters in Rabiaa Al­Awadiya Square. Three journalists were killed that day in connection with their work Aged 28, Shawkan covered developments in Egypt closely from Mubarak’s fall to Morsi’s overthrow and on several occasions obtained striking shots of the popular unrest. His detention became illegal in August of this year because, under Egyptian law, pre­trial detention may surpass two years only in exceptional cases. Few people in Egypt have ever been held pending trial as long as him. A date has finally been set for the start of his trial, 12 December 2015, when he will be prosecuted before a Cairo criminal court along with more than 700 other defendants including members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was declared a terrorist organization in December 2013. Many charges have been brought against him without any evidence, according to his lawyer, Karim Abdelrady. The most serious include joining a banned organization [the Muslim Brotherhood], murder, attacking the security forces and possession of weapons.

  • Colfer Phd Final Submitted 04.12.18 Trade Union Influence Under
    This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics and International Studies. Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, December 2017 i Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other university or similar institution except as specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other university or similar institution. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit. i There's a simple doctrine: outside of a person's love, the most sacred thing that they can give is their labour. And somehow or another along the way, we tend to forget that. Labour is a very precious thing that you have. Anytime that you can combine labour with love, you've made a good merger. -James Carville ii Acknowledgements I want to thank the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the University of Cambridge Home and European Scholarship Scheme (CHESS), Pembroke College, the estate of the late Professor Monica Partridge, and the Cambridge Political Economy Society for their generous funding and support throughout my doctoral research. I also want to thank the European Trade Union Institute and the American College of Athens, especially Professor Eleni Patra, for supporting me during fieldwork in Brussels and Athens respectively.

Any comments, queries or suggestions relating to this paper are most welcome ISSC WP 2004/1 2 Which Path? Domestic Adaptation to Economic Internationalization in Ireland Abstract The growing integration of international markets raises the question of how, and to what extent, domestic political processes within states continue to matter. The thesis that markets force a ‘race to the bottom’ and the destruction of the welfare state has been discredited; there is continuing scope for diversity. Two patterns have commonly been identified. Continental European countries cluster together around politically coordinated adjustment strategies, while the liberal, Anglo-American countries adopt ever more market-driven responses. The new EU member states in central Europe and the Balkans have been expected to join the latter category. However, a third overlooked possibility exists – that market-oriented adjustment might continue to be strongly politically mediated, in line with expectations about the incentives facing small open economies, even in liberal economies.

  • Irish Environmental Activism: from Woodquay to the ‘Celtic Tiger’
    The Environmental Movement in Ireland The Environmental Movement in Ireland Liam Leonard Foreword by John Barry Liam Leonard Social Science Research Centre (SSRC) National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland Cover Images © 2007 Jupiter Images Corporation ISBN 978-1-4020-6811-9 e-ISBN 978-1-4020-6812-6 Library of Congress Control Number: 2007938051 © 2008 Springer Science + Business Media B.V.

Printed on acid-free paper. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 springer.com Foreword At the time of writing many of the issues discussed by Liam Leonard in The Environmental Movement in Ireland are reflected in the new political realities of the island of Ireland North and South. The Green Party – since December 2006 organised on an all Ireland basis – is in coalition government in the Republic while in the Northern Ireland Assembly elections in March it gained its first elected Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). These developments clearly indicate a level of popular and political success of the Green Movement and issues of (un)sustainable development, but also open up a new and uncharted area for the movement with high expectations of Greens in Government. Long-standing green issues, particularly around climate change and energy security, have received unprecedented levels of popularisation through almost daily media coverage and documentaries such as former US Vice President Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and the ‘Live Earth’ global concerts.
