Dr. O'Conneu, seconded by Dr. CHerlihy. (a) Matters Arising from the Minutes Cllr. Reilly requested that the motion which had been tabled by Deputy Durkan for the December meeting of our Board should be tabled in his name for the February meeting of our Board. Cllr. Ridge referred to the minute on page 219 regarding the BCG-vaccination scheme and requested a list of the areas in which the tuberculin test on school children in 4th. 5th and 6th classes had been restored.

Dr. Smith referred to minute 153/1994 (2) regarding the manner in which Programme Committees function as visiting committees and said he was not in favour of the format proposed for the review by the three Programme Committee Chairpersons in consultation with the three ProgrammeManagers. He would prefer if four members in addition to the three Programme Committee Chairpersons could participate in the review. The Secretary clarified that, at the December meeting of our Board, it had been agreed that the initial review would be undertaken as outlined and that the outcome of the review would be the subject of further discussion by our Board. 4/1995 QUESTIONS TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER On a proposal by Deputy Callely. seconded by Cllr. Farrell. it was agreed to answer the questions which had been lodged. 1. Cllr. C. O'Connor To ask the Chief Executive Officer to confirm action he now proposes to deal with the long waiting lists in Tallaght. and other parts of the South Dublin County Council area, for orthodontic dental treatment?" Reply Our Board's proposals for the development of Orthodontic Services include an agreement with the Dublin Dental Hospital for the joint appointment of a Professor/Consultant in Orthodontics and two Consultants/Lecturers. Half of these three Consultants' time will be dedicated to the treatment of our Board's clients. One of these Consultants will take up duty in March 1995. Our Board is also developing linkages with St. James's and Beaumont Hospitals for consultant orthodontic treatment both in the short and in the longer term. Our Board is also currently conducting a recruitment campaign for Consultants in Orthodontics and the results are awaited. Our Board's plans for the development of Orthodontic Services also include the training of a number of wholetime dentists on our Staff and their employment following M.Orth qualification, as specialist orthodontists. A further person with M.Orth qualification is currently being recruited. Also a number of our Board's dentists have the necessary experience and training to provide minor orthodontic treatment and this is being done on an ongoing basis. 4 12/1/1995 Waiting period for treatment for those in Category 1 is currently less than one year. 200 category 1 patients are currently being dealt with under an arrangement with both the Dublin Dental Hospital and St. James's Hospital. A total of approximately 1.800 patients in Category 2 are currently receiving treatment. Our waiting list is being kept under close review and whilst there has been some improvement in our capacity to provide treatment for patients in this Category, nevertheless, increasing demand for treatment has prevented any improvement to date in the waiting period of four and a half years approximately. Urgent cases requiring priority treatment are dealt with more quickly if this is considered necessary. However it is hoped to make a significant improvement on this waiting period with the availability of additional qualified staff during the coming year. We are not at present in a position to offer fixed appliances therapy to Category 3 patients whose requirement is largely cosmetic. Those who are assessed as in need of treatment with removable appliances therapy are treated by our own dental staff who have appropriate training and expertise and the waiting period is not significant. The position regarding the provision of orthodontic treatment services in all of our Board's area including Tallaght and the South Dublin County Council area, and the waiting period for same, will continue to be kept under close review. 2. Cllr. C. O'Connor To ask the Chief Executive Officer to up-date the Board on the further development of community care services in the Tallaght area including the acquisition of new premises?" Reply Community Services generally are being developed throughout our Board's area, including the Tallaght Area, and particularly in those areas which have been ear-marked for specific additional funding. These include child care services, dental services, general practitioner services, drugs and AIDS services, mental handicap services, mental health services and services for the elderly. Our Board's capital projects in the Tallaght area include the provision of a new health centre in West Tallaght. Planning of this new Health Centre is at an advanced stage and will be discussed with members from the area in the very near future. Our Board is also providing financial assistance for two general practitioner pilot projects in the Tallaght area which will include the construction of new practice premises. Our Board has also recently acquired a new premises situated at 16 Main Road. Tallaght for use as a family resource centre which will replace the family resource centre which was formerly located at St.

  • Re-Tweeting Election #Ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD
    Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD 1 Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Introduction The 2011 General Election was the first Twitter Election in Ireland. The appetite for increased engagement, accountability and interaction via the social media platform followed the resignation of Defence Minister Willie O’Dea in February 2010, in part because of a carefully composed tweet. By January 2011, Twitter was part of the daily political discourse, as candidates posted their thoughts, policies, pictures and links in the competitive war to raise profiles and attract eyeballs. The beauty of Twitter is that it allows your ‘followers’ to view you in a different lens from the normal political script, and to engage with you on a variety of topics political, personal, trivial and even philosophical. It also allows politicians break some news at appropriate times, and share views on national events without the constraints of a formal press release. This ebook is based on all the tweets published over the course of the General Election campaign, from the announcement of Labour’s motion of no confidence in the government to the day of the election result. It is important to consider that the commentary on the tweets was completed in the months immediately after the election in February 2011, when my memory of events and emotions was still raw and fresh, and not two years later. Therefore, the commentary provided is frozen in 2011 and has not been altered to take account of two years in government and developments in 2013. The tweets and reflections are frozen in time.

  • Political Journalism Since the Foundation of the State
    Chapter 12 Social media and political communication Martin Molony The election of Barack Obama in 2008 was widely regarded as being an internet election victory. Greengard (2009, 16) described Obama as ‘the first internet president’ and there was widespread agreement amongst political commentators and digital media experts as to ‘how politicians and the public interact [would] never be the same.’ In the days following Obama’s election, The New York Times reflected on the repetition of history in the effective use of a new medium: ‘One of the many ways that the election of Barack Obama as president has echoed that of John F. Kennedy is his use of a new medium that will forever change politics. For Mr Kennedy, it was television. For Mr Obama, it is the internet’ (Miller, 2008). Commentators, such as Huffington Post founder and editor-in-chief, Arianna Huffington (2008) went further and believed that the Obama win was entirely due to his use of the web: ‘Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not be president. Were it not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not have been the nominee.’ But was Obama’s win entirely down to successful use of the internet? Why did he win when, just four years earlier, Howard Dean had failed having used the same approach? One might assume that Barack Obama perfected Dean’s trial use of internet technologies but it is also reasonable to suggest that such electronic communication had come of age and that the electorate was sufficiently comfortable with the technologies to engage with their preferred candidate.
