This magazine contains lots of news about our graduates, where they are and what they are doing. It also aims to keep you informed on developments at your university. In October 2006, the university launched the Gateway Project – a major international architecture competition involving the redevelopment of some 10 hectares around the main entrance of the Belfield campus. The project challenged architects to create a defining structural feature for UCD to serve both as an internationally recognisable landmark and also meet extensive functional requirements. It is to comprise academic, cultural, leisure and business facilities and it marks the start of a 15-year Development Plan for a sustainable, healthy and living campus. Against this backdrop, another important episode of UCD history is playing out. Earlsfort Terrace has been sold to the State to facilitate the redevelopment of the National Concert Hall. UCD can now complete the move to Belfield and deliver on the vision set out by Michael Tierney, President of the university in the 1960s. As we say farewell to Earlsfort Terrace, I am reminded of the origins of that building, which for 124 years played such a central role in UCD life.

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.

We would also like to thank all the very many members of the ESB, both current and retired, who went to great trouble to assist us in our research. We are particularly grateful to the Chairman, Professor Charles Dillon, the Chief Executive, Mr P.J. Moriarty, the Secretary, Mr J.F. Williams, and the late J.J. Kelly, Chief Executive, 1970-1981. We would like especially to acknowledge the help of the late Patrick McGilligan, who not only gave generously of his time, but allowed us free access to his papers which are now in the UCD archives.
