Let’s hope that the 33rd Dáil can form a stable government, willing to deliver on the commitments made to our many members on the doorsteps of Ireland in the run-up to the General Election. We asked the parties and the candidates to ensure that Parity of Pension was maintained with our serving colleagues in An Garda Síochána. We asked that we, as public sector retirees, be allowed Negotiate our Pensions. We asked that all the money taken from our pay and pensions since 2010 by way of FEMPI Legislation be Restored to us now. Most of the political oarties responded, stating that they would support our concerns – well “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”. At GSRMA House, I have followed up on the commitments made to you by again communicating with those groups of politicians who may be putting a Programme for Government together, and again asking them to deliver for us just as we’ve delivered for them. There are many pressing issues nationally for the new government and our three concerns can be put right by the simple stroke of a pen. Let’s hope that in the run up to our 100th Birthday in 2022 the “pudding”, at the very least, will ensure that Parity is retained, our Negotiation Rights secured and the reversal of FEMPI cuts will be reflected in our pensions going forward.

  • The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996
    33 Conor Curran ‘It has almost been an underground movement’. The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996 Abstract This article assesses the development of association football at grassroots’ level in County Donegal, a peripheral county lying in the north-west of the Republic of Ire- land. Despite the foundation of the County Donegal Football Association in 1894, soccer organisers there were unable to develop a permanent competitive structure for the game until the late 20th century and the more ambitious teams were generally forced to affiliate with leagues in nearby Derry city. In discussing the reasons for this lack of a regular structure, this paper will also focus on the success of the Donegal League, founded in 1971, in providing a season long calendar of games. It also looks at soccer administrators’ rivalry with those of Gaelic football there, and the impact of the nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association’s ‘ban’ on its members taking part in what the organisation termed ‘foreign games’. In particular, the extent to which the removal of the ‘ban’ in 1971 helped to ease co-operation between organisers of Gaelic and Association football will be explored. Keywords: Association football; Gaelic football; Donegal; Ireland; Donegal League; Gaelic Athletic Association Introduction The nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which is today the leading sporting organisation in Ireland despite its players having to adhere to its amateur ethos, has its origins in the efforts of schoolteacher and journalist Michael Cusack, who was eager to reform Irish athletics which was dominated by elitism and poorly governed in the early 1880s.

  • Chapter 4: Human Beings
    Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with Chapter 4: Human Beings Environmental Impact Statement Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with 4. HUMAN BEINGS 4.1 Introduction This section of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) describes the potential impacts of the proposed development on human beings and has been completed in accordance with the guidance set out by the Environmental Protection Agency in ‘Guidelines on Information to be contained in Environmental Impact Statements’ (EPA, 2000). One of the principle concerns in the development process is that people, as individuals or communities, should experience no diminution in their quality of life from the direct or indirect impacts arising from the construction and operation of a development. Ultimately, all the impacts of a development impinge on human beings, directly and indirectly, positively and negatively. The key issues examined in this section of the EIS include population, employment and economic activity, land-use, residential amenity, community facilities and services, tourism, and health and safety. Reference is also made, in this chapter, to nuisance impacts on human beings that are dealt with in other sections of this EIS such as flooding from Chapter 7 - Hydrology and Hydrogeology; dust and noise from Chapter 8 - Air and Climate; and traffic from Chapter 11 - Material Assets. 4.2 Receiving Environment 4.2.1 Methodology The following sources of information and literature pertinent to the area were used in the preparation of this section: . Central Statistics Office (CSO), . Cork City Development Plan 2015 – 2021, . North Docks Local Area Plan 2005, . South Docks Local Area Plan 2008, .
