galway / politics / elections / event notice Sunday January 11, 2004 20:08 by John Cunningham
Much has been said about the technical shortcomings of electronic voting, but less attention has been paid to the social aspects of the issue.

Topic: Electronic voting - the social aspects
Date/Time: Tuesday 13th January, 2004. 7pm.

I believe that popular resistance to the imposition of the neo-liberal
economic agenda is vital- whether one lives in Ireland or Bolivia. However,
it is often easier to see this agenda being imposed in the developing world
than it is to recognise it as an increasingly central dimension of the
‘European Project’. read full story / add a comment

Easing of planning regulations governing the building of one-off houses in the countryside were essential if stability in the rural population was to be maintained or regained. This was stated by Independent Sligo/Leitrim TD Marian Harkin, when she welcomed reports that new guidelines from the Department of the Environment would ease current restrictions on house building in the countryside. She said that there was an appalling lack of accurate information concerning the numbers of one-off houses or of their environmental implications. read full story / add a comment

“The statement by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Brian Cowen, in which he welcomed the announcement by President George Bush that his government was planning to regularise the position of undocumented foreign workers in the United States will strike many as an act of extraordinary hypocrisy given the Fianna Fail/PD government’s treatment of foreign workers who find themselves in a similar position in this country. read full story / add a comment
