Electoral Reform In 2000?
The next year could see impassioned debate in the Republic over the merits of changing Ireland's method of electing its politicians. The current Minister for the Environment, Fianna Fail's Noel Dempsey, has been a strong supporter of electoral reform for some time now and has been "floating" the idea in the media for months, perhaps in an effort to give the government some idea of public reaction to the proposal. Recently it was announced that the Fianna Fail/Progressive Democrat coalition would try to win a majority of Dail deputies over to the idea, which will enable the government to enact legislation calling for a national referendum on the new electoral system. If it were to pass, a new system could be in place before the next general election

Smellie Decision in Cayman Islands Causes Major Stink in Dublin!
"...The Revenue Commissioners are the Irish equivalent of the Internal Revenue Service. Beyond that, I make no comment – other than to say that the Revenue Commissioners are the most wonderful bunch of people you are ever likely to meet, universally loved by the entire Irish Nation in the same way that the IRS is so adored by the American people."

In a country dominated by two right-of-center parties, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, the mainstream left is struggling to become a more powerful player in the politics of the state. It was hoped by some that the merger last January between the Labour Party and Democratic Left would create the dynamic in which a unified "left", represented by the new Labour Party, would see rapid gains. So far, all it seems to have created is problems.

Cemetery of Birth: Glasnevin's Republican Heroes
Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin holds some of the most wellknown remains in Irish history, as well as its unsung paupers. Reading the biographies of just a few of the luminaries buried there, however, sheds light on the birth of the Republic of Ireland, and on the Irish national character, a study in incongruities and contrasts.
