Fw: Irish Election
Irish Election |
Posted: 27 Dec 2012 07:45 PM PST The Irish Times has a nice set of articles on the papers released under the 30 year rule, which cover 1982 — quite a year in Irish politics. Among the points of interest is the strain in UK-Ireland relations caused by the Falklands War. Deaglán de Bréadún gets perhaps a tad ambitious though in seeking to make the position of the Haughey government on the war into an entry in what would be a short book entitled Good Things About Charlie Haughey. Now credit where it's due, Haughey's reported description of the evolution of Ireland's position is excellent: he was an intelligent man who understood a foreign policy brief as well as any foreign minister: According to the newly released record of the meeting, he continued: "Argentina was certainly responsible for starting the conflict in the first instance but we feel that after that the matter should have been dealt with in the United Nations – the Security Council – and through negotiations." The issue had "caused us some difficulty" in Ireland, he said, adding: "The EEC/Ten had wished to impose sanctions. We were prepared to do so but only as long as they were in support of political and diplomatic action. "Once it became clear that the UK was not prepared to pursue this course but had switched to a military approach we felt we had no option but to withdraw from sanctions. "Our approach, therefore, is that Argentina was wrong in the first place and that it should withdraw. This would mean a general cessation of hostilities. "A solution should then be found through the United Nations, the UN secretary general and the Security Council," Haughey is reported as saying. As he recognized, Mrs Thatcher was determined to pursue a military solution, and Ireland's reluctant position was causing major friction, with the radical idea being floated (privately) in the UK of withdrawing de facto citizenship rights for Irish citizens resident in the UK, which had existed since 1922. So, can it be as Deaglán de Bréadún says, "that it could be argued that, for all his well-publicised failings as a political leader, this was, in the Churchillian phrase, Charlie's finest hour?" The big problem is that Ireland was not actually alone in its lack of enthusiasm for the way the Falklands conflict was headed. Among the peripheral Atlantic countries with ancestral links to the UK that were not too keen was … the United States of America! The Daily Telegraph has a good account of the deep divisions within the US government about how to handle it, with President Reagan's instinctive leaning to Maggie's position running into a significant view in Washington that their longer-term interests lay with keeping Argentina and Latin America more generally onside; the USA's western hemisphere roots were definitely showing. And as one reads through the full package of IT articles on the crisis, it becomes clear that there was a large group of unhappy countries looking to slow down the rush to war, including Italy and Spain. Certainly knowing in hindsight that GUBU was just months away puts a touch of class on Charlie's positioning on this issue. But overall it's a ledger still too deep in the red to be rescued by one stance that was well within the logic of Irish foreign policy. |

Submission on proposed courthouse closures Posted: 19 Dec 2012 10:39 AM PST Mayo is the 3rd largest county in Ireland and it has a rising population. The removal of the courthouses of Achill, Westport, Swinford and Ballyhaunis would leave huge areas of the county and the population without access to a local courthouse. The local courthouse like the local pub, shop, post office, Garda station and bank is one of the cornerstones of rural Irish life and has been since the legal system was established in this country. It is accepted that justice must be done and must seen to be done and that justice delayed is justice denied I would contend that justice must, like governance, must also be as local as possible. Court is a distressing place to those unfamiliar with it. They can also be intimidating places whether you are a defendant, plaintiff or a witness. One of the main benefits of local courthouses such as Westport's is that the court takes place locally and an individual can rely on friends and family for support and does not have to add the stress and expense of travel and food onto an already overburdened individual. Many people attending court must rely on public transport and its often illogical and inconvenient schedules to get to and from court. When a crime is committed locally it is great to see that it is dealt with locally and that justice is not the prevue of some distant court but is actually executed locally. If Achill court house is closed then local court users will have to make a 73km journey to Belmullet, which is the chosen alternative venue this is incredible unfair on a community who have already lost so much community infrastructure. Courthouses are not just buildings; they are service centres, community features and symbols of justice, justice that is local and accessible. |
