Prasa Lokalna W Irlandii
P I Michał Kaczmarczyk !"#"$%&'"%(" $)$*!%"(+** Prasa lokalna i regionalna w Irlandii stanowi ważny segment rynku prasowego, nie pełni jednakże tak doniosłej roli, jak w podobnej pod względem struktury rynku mediów prowincjonalnych Wielkiej Brytanii 1. Mniej lub bardziej regularną lekturę gazet lokalnych deklaruje 83 proc. dorosłych Brytyjczyków, tj. 38 milionów osób, podczas gdy tytułów ogólnokrajowych – tylko 71 proc 2. Szacuje się, że w Irlandii wskaźnik czytelnictwa prasy lokalnej i regionalnej sięga 64 proc. i jest aż o 27 proc. niższy od wyniku dla tytułów ogólnokrajowych 3. Można jednak zauważyć stopniowy wzrost zainteresowania Irlandczyków ofertą mediów lokalnych oraz rozwój tego sektora prasowego, potwierdzony przede wszystkim rosnącymi wpływami ze sprzedaży gazet lokalnych oraz coraz wyższym stopniem koncentracji tegoż rynku. Największe irlandzkie koncerny medialne chętnie inwestują w prasę lokalną i regionalną, powodując, iż rynek tej prasy staje się domeną silnych ekonomicznie podmiotów prasowowydawniczych. Podmiotów, które z ożywieniem mediów prowincjonalnych w niedalekiej przyszłości wiążą nadzieje na duży zysk. Charakter oraz pozycję irlandzkich mediów lokalnych i regionalnych na rynku prasowowydawniczym określają przede wszystkim trzy czynniki. Pierwszym jest poziom i siła tożsamości lokalnych Irlandczyków, drugim model samorządu terytorialnego oraz jego polityczne i społeczne implikacje, trzecim postępujący proces globalizacji i stanowiąca jego pochodną glokalizacja. O ile pierwszy i drugi czynnik analizować należy -

It was the season of graduations from Pennsylvania’s many colleges and universities. The queen of the universities is the University of Pennsylvania with her long and storied Ivy League history. June Gilliam, who had completed her Ph.D. studies a few months before, was to go through a formal graduation ceremony. Brian Garvey, her boyfriend, had arranged for a surprise party-dinner at his family’s country club for her family and close friends. He had contacted June’s parents and arranged for chauffeured limo transportation from Carlisle, for them and June’s two younger sisters. -
An Garda Siochana: an Analysis of a Police Force Unfit for Purpose
An Garda Siochana: An Analysis of a Police Force unfit for purpose An Garda Síochána An analysis of a police force unfit for purpose Preamble In constitutional democracies, governments must operate within a framework of constitutional rules, which define the powers, structures and functions of governmental institutions and the rights of citizens. However, the framers of the Constitution of Ireland – in operation since December 29 1937 – eschewed any express provision for policing. This left An Garda Síochána vulnerable to the self-serving manipulation and intrigues of governing parties, individual politicians and well-connected national and local elites. An Garda Síochána is directly controlled by, and accountable to, central government. Professor Dermot Walsh, Chair of Law at the University of Limerick, has warned that such “a huge concentration of police power in the hands of central government in the absence of adequate constitutional checks and balances is uncomfortably close to the arrangements associated with a police state.” [1] Professor Walsh’s warning is hugely important, given An Garda Síochána’s “monopoly on the legitimate use of force in civil society”. [2] Police violence can be used to overwhelm and subdue dissent, at the behest of governments. The right to dissent peacefully is a cornerstone of democracy. Civil disobedience and other forms of peaceful protest and dissent, though irksome to governments and ‘The Establishment’, are vital for a healthy society. Mass-dissent is a form of civil activism, an expression of deep- rooted anger in society. The crushing of such dissent suggests authoritarian rule, not democracy. Nevertheless, “the legitimate use of force in civil society” is widely used by police in Western ‘democracies’ to curb dissent, to impose harsh and unpopular – even loathsome – government policies, and to maintain, and magnify, gross inequalities between social classes. -

To examine and review the “relevant criteria” as currently defined in the Act. To examine and consider how the application of the “relevant criteria” should be given effect and by whom. To examine the role of the Minister in assessing the “relevant criteria” from a public interest perspective and the best mechanism to do so. To examine international best practice, including the applicability of models from other countries. To make recommendations, as appropriate, on the above. 2 1.4 The membership of the Group comprised:- Paul Sreenan S.C. (Chairman) Dr. Olive Braiden. Peter Cassells Marc Coleman John Herlihy Prof. -
