A New Electoral system for Ireland?

Laver, Michael
A New Electoral system for Ireland?
(1998)
Laver, Michael
Abstract:
A New Electoral system for Ireland? looks at the possibility of doing away with the current Single Transferable Vote electoral system in Ireland. It explores the impact of replacing STV with an alternative widely favoured by electoral reformers, the 'additoinal member' system used for example in Germany and New Zealand. It looks at the potential impact of such a system on both competition between parties and the competition within parties that many Irish politicians regard as a corrosive feature of STV.

A Review of the Free Schemes Operated by the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs
(2000)
Orlaigh, Quinn
Abstract:
A Review of the Free Schemes Operated by the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs examines the social welfare benefit-in-kind schemes: Free Travel, Free Electricity/Gas Allowance, Free TV Licence and Free Telephone Rental Allowance. It examines the underlying rationale of the schemes and their performance using efficiency criteria and customer views, and assesses their overall contribution to combating poverty and social exclusion. The research is greatly enhanced by the results of surveys conducted with the recipients of the schemes. Demands to extend the schemes to other groups are examined and a number of recommendations proposed. Payment arrangements with the service providers are analysed in the light of State sector deregulation.

A Tale of Two Strategies for Higher Education and Economic Recovery: Ireland and Australia
(2010)
Hazelkorn, Ellen; Massaro, Vin
A Tale of Two Strategies for Higher Education and Economic Recovery: Ireland and Australia
(2010)
Hazelkorn, Ellen; Massaro, Vin
Abstract:
As Dirk van Damme suggested (van Damme, 2009), the effects of the global financial crisis (GFC) have been manifold and complex and affected countries differently. Australia and Ireland have fared very differently in the GFC so choices will inevitably have been influenced by their relative capacity to spend on higher education. Since 1988 Australia has had a unitary, government-regulated but independent higher education system with block funding from a combination of government allocations and student contributions. In contrast, Ireland retains a government-regulated binary system dependent upon public investment and direct government control of staffing budgets. In recent years, both countries have reviewed their higher education system (Australia 2008, Ireland 2009-2010). The Australian review forms the basis of the government’s intention to further deregulate the system by removing enrolment caps, while Ireland’s higher education is caught up in a drive for efficiency and rational...

An Evaluation of the Community Childcare Subvention Scheme using Policy Design Theory

An Evaluation of the Community Childcare Subvention Scheme using Policy Design Theory
(2011)
O'Donoghue Hynes, Bernie; Hayes, Noirin
Abstract:
This paper utilises Policy Design Theory to evaluate policy tool design and selection in Ireland in order to look beyond policy goals and rhetoric to the meanings and assumptions within policy design. A review of the Community Childcare Subvention Scheme (CCSS) reveals it to be an ‘incentive’ tool that is structured around a negative social construction of the target populations as ‘dependants’ with little capacity to solve their own problems. While immediate policy objectives are met through the design of the CCSS, if viewed in a wider context of overall national policy objectives a range of negative side-effects are evident amongst all policy target groups.

Angels and IPOs: Policies for Sustainable Equity Financing of Irish Small Businesses

Angels and IPOs: Policies for Sustainable Equity Financing of Irish Small Businesses
(2005)
Mulcahy, Diane
Abstract:
Angels and IPOs: Policies for Sustainable Equity Financing of Irish Small Businesses explores the rationale for the Irish government?s investments of more than 300 million Euro in Irish companies and the domestic venture capital industry. It challenges the conventional wisdom that there is an `equity gap? of early stage risk capital in Ireland. In the context of the equity financing cycle, it discusses the limited supply of angel capital available to Irish firms as well as the `exit gap? resulting from the low rate of IPOs among Irish firms and the poor capital raising performance of the Irish Stock Exchange. The book concludes with a series of recommendations for the public and private sectors to create a sustainable system of equity financing for small businesses in Ireland.

Annual Policy Report on Migration and Asylum 2010: Ireland
(2011)
JOYCE, CORONA
Abstract:
The annual European Migration Network policy reports examine the main trends and policy development in the area of migration and asylum at EU Member State level. This seventh annual policy analysis report focuses on the period from January to December 2010. Important developments in the period included publication of an Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill in June 2010; continuation of a number of administrative and legislative changes related to employment permit holders introduced in 2009; and publication of a new five-year strategy document framework, Investing in Global Relationships, which set an objective of increased international student numbers in both overall higher education and English language schools by 2015. In addition, changes to renewal arrangements for `Green Card? holders came into effect in August 2010, and in November 2010, updated immigration arrangements concerning those eligible under the five year worker and redundancy policy were introduced with imme...

Antenatal Rubella Immunity in Ireland
(2018)
O'Dwyer, Vicky; Bonham, S.; Bonham, Sheelagh; Mulligan, Aisling; O'Connor, Clare; Farah, Nadine; Kennelly, Mairead M.; Turner, Michael
Abstract:
The objective of the study was to identify those women attending for antenatal care who would have benefited from prepregnancy rubella vaccination. It was a population-based observational study of women who delivered a baby weighing ≥500 g in 2009 in the Republic of Ireland. The woman’s age, parity, nationality and rubella immunity status were analysed using data collected by the National Perinatal Reporting System. Of the 74,810 women delivered, the rubella status was known in 96.7% (n=72,333). Of these, 6.4%(n=4,665) women were not immune. Rubella seronegativity was 8.0%(n=2425) in primiparous women compared with 5.2%(n=2239) in multiparous women (p<0.001), 14.7%(n=10653) in women <25 years old compared with 5.0%(n=3083) in women ≥25 years old (p<0.001), and 11.4%(n=780) in women born outside the 27 European Union (EU27) countries compared with 5.9%(n=3886) in women born inside the EU27 countries (p<0.001). Based on our findings we recommend that to prevent Congenital ...

Art Schools for Tomorrow: Challenges and Opportunities

Art Schools for Tomorrow: Challenges and Opportunities
(2004)
Hazelkorn, Ellen
Abstract:
Across the OECD, discussions are taking place amongst policymakers, educational managers and educationalists about the future of higher education. More and more is being demanded of higher education at a time when the funds available are shrinking and the costs are rising. Internationalisation and globalisation have transformed the once benign educational market place into a much more competitive environment today. These forces are influencing in a very directive way how individual institutions are organising and managing themselves. Art Schools are not immune from either these developments or challenges. While many have their origin as (and remain) small, independent, publicly (or privately) funded schools, others are entering into formal (and informal) collaborative arrangements sometimes resulting in merger with universities, while others are building upon their enduring “membership” of an interdisciplinary university. Nevertheless, they all share the need to respond to a common ...

Attitudes to Rankings: Comparing German, Australian and Japanese Experiences
(2009)
Hazelkorn, Ellen
Abstract:
Drawing on an international survey of HE leaders during 2006, and interviews with HE leaders and stakeholders in Germany, Australia and Japan during 2008, it describes and compares the reaction and response to rankings by HEIs in Germany, Australia and Japan, with particular attention to institutional strategy and planning, benchmarking and quality assurance, student admissions and faculty recruitment and morale. The chapter argues cross-national comparisons/global rankings are an inevitable feature of globalisation, the international battle for talent, and strategies for national competitiveness.

Book review: Selling out? ? privatisation in Ireland / by Paul Sweeney. Dublin: TASC/New Island, 2004.
(2005)
Reeves, Eoin
Abstract:
Over the last fourteen years the Irish government has withdrawn entirely from direct public provision in sectors such as banking, food, insurance and telecommunications. The wave of privatisation and rationalisation that has been at the heart of this pattern of withdrawal is set to continue with a host of key decisions to be made about the future ownership and structure of sectors such as airports, aviation, buses, electricity and gas. Given the strategic importance of these sectors in an economy where improving international competitiveness is the cornerstone of much economic policy it is surprising that questions concerning privatisation and public enterprise have received little attention in terms of published critique and analysis. Paul Sweeney?s Selling Out ? Privatisation in Ireland? is therefore a welcome and timely contribution to the debate about this important aspect of public policy.

Building a World-Class System in Ireland’s Financial Crisis
(2011)
Hazelkorn, Ellen
Abstract:
Irish higher education faces particular difficulties given the severity of its economic crisis. Like other countries, it is engaged in significant system restructuring coupled with managed policy direction. Where Ireland does differ is in its emphasis on a 'whole of country strategy' and commitment that teaching and research go hand-in-hand. This paper looks at the fortunes and mis-fortunes of Irish higher education.

Challenges of Growing Research at New and Emerging HEIs

Challenges of Growing Research at New and Emerging HEIs
(2002)
Hazelkorn, Ellen
Abstract:
Newer institutions are accused of adopting the accoutrements of traditional universities, actively copying their research profile and teaching programmes, and engaging in ‘academic’ or ‘mission’ drift. For others, however, these changes are part of the natural or inevitable process of institutional development and historical change, or a further step in the democratisation of the ‘Humboltian ethic’ (Neave, 2000, p265). If massification and expansion in 1960s differentiated the second stage in higher educational development from its elite origins, then the late 1990s marked the beginning of the third stage. By then, it was clear that a broadly educated population could no longer be formed by and within universities alone. In societies where knowledge and knowledge creation are highly privileged and integral to both national and institutional prestige, advanced learning and research capacity are allied and critical. Paradoxically, by seeking to conform to their mission, new and emergi...

Children?s Rights - Whose Right? A Review of Child Policy Development in Ireland
(2002)
Hayes, Noirin
Abstract:
Children?s Rights - Whose Right? A Review of Child Policy Development in Ireland reviews the position of children in contemporary Irish society and their emergence as a group inpolicy-making. Thestudy finds that a reactive, welfare approach to child policy dominates. This approach perpetuates the view of the child as a passive dependent in need of protection rather than an active agent and bearer ofrights. Ireland ratified the UN Conventionon the Rights of the Child in 1992. The paper argues that this presents Irish policy-makers with a valuable organizational framework to foreground children?s issues within a rights-based context. It presents recommendations for action in the area of governance with respect to children, the protection and promotion of children?s rights and the participation of children in matters affecting them.

Competition and Regulation in the Retail Pharmacy Market
(2004)
Purcell, Declan
Abstract:
Competition and Regulation in the Retail Pharmacy Market examines the operation of the retail pharmacy market in Ireland and the regulatory environment in which it operates. Retail pharmacy is a billion euro industry in Ireland, but how it operates and is regulated is not well understood. This paper establishes the extent of regulation in the Irish market, how Ireland stands in terms of international regulatory comparison and whether, and to what extent, there is scope for more competition in this market (and what actions might be necessary to achieve this). An increased emphasis on competition and regulatory reform has highlighted the unnecessarily restrictive nature of many of the controls currently applied to this sector. The paper presents a new and comprehensive comparison of the sector with regulatory environments in other counties, showing that the same forces, both market and non-market, also operate elsewhere. Regulation levels are even heavier, much more so in some cases,...

Criminology, Bureaucracy and Unfinished Business
(2018)
O'Donnell, Ian
Abstract:
When exploring the interplay of criminology and policy the debate often revolves around the changing influence of the former on the direction of the latter. This debate generally occurs in countries where the discipline is firmly entrenched and the policy context is well understood. But what about when the criminal justice system operates in the absence of a sustained academic critique? How do things appear where criminology is in a fledgling state and where bureaucratic arrangements in respect of criminal justice have an unformed quality? What does the absence of criminology tell us about the possible impact of its presence?

Development Discourse and Practice: Alternatives and New Directions from Postcolonial Perspectives
(2014)
Donnelly, Paul; Ozkazanc-Pan, Banu
Abstract:
Development and aid programs, such as those aimed at promoting economic growth and prosperity in ‘Third World’ nations and transition economies, often arise out of Western and neo-liberal policy ideologies and practices. These programs may, in some cases, provide useful guidelines for restructuring institutional structures and governance mechanisms in nations that have long struggled with poverty, economic instability, health crises, and social and political turmoil. However, a growing number of critical voices are raising concerns over the guiding assumptions and inclusiveness of these policies and programs in their aims to promote economic development and social well-being in non-Western nations. We join these critical perspectives by way of postcolonial frameworks to highlight some of the problematic assumptions and oversights of development programs, while offering new alternatives and directions. By doing so, we contribute to organizational theorizing in a global context, as po...

Dog bite injuries to humans and the use of breed-specific legislation: a comparison of bites from legislated and non-legislated dog breeds
(2018)
Creedon, Nanci; Ó Súilleabháin, Páraic S.
Abstract:
Background: The primary objective of this study was to investigate if differences in dog bite characteristics exist amongst legislated and non-legislated dog breeds listed under breed-specific legislation in Ireland (age when bitten, anatomical bite locations, triggers for biting, victim's relationship with the dog, geographical location and owner presence, history of aggression, reporting bite incident to authorities, medical treatment required following the bite, and type of bite inflicted). A second objective of the current study was to investigate dog control officer's enforcement and perceptions of current legislation. Data for statistical analyses were collated through a nationally advertised survey, with Pearson Chi-square and Fisher's Exact Test statistical methods employed for analyses. A total of 140 incident surveys were assessed comprising of non-legislated (n = 100) and legislated (n = 40) dog bite incidents. Results: Legislated breeds were significantly ...
