The Treaty of Lisbon, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, has had a major impact on the role of the Oireachtas in relation to European affairs. The provisions of the Treaty itself and more especially the two Protocols which were adopted with it are significant enough in their own right. However, they have also produced a cascade of further reactions, each with its own consequences, beginning with (a) the amendment of Article 29.4 of the Irish Constitution; continuing with (b) the coming into force of the European Union Act 2009; further continuing with (c) the establishment, first, of interim and then permanent arrangements establishing procedures within the Oireachtas for implementing the Lisbon Treaty, successively by resolutions of each House in December 2009, then by amendments to the Standing Orders of the Dáil and Seanad relative to public business in November and December 2010, respectively. Apart from this reaction on the part of the legal system to the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty provisions on national parliaments, there has also been a political response in the form of two Sub-Committee Reports, one (Ireland's Future in the European Union: Challenges, Issues and Options) partly concerned with recommendations on the future role of the Oireachtas in European affairs, the other (the Report of the Joint Sub-Committee on the Review of the Role of the Oireachtas in European Affairs) wholly so concerned. The contents of these Reports are only to a limited extent an attempt to reflect on how to accommodate the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty and its associated Protocols. They are also the response of the stimulus provided by the Lisbon Treaty to the Oireachtas to reflect on its own role in relation to European Affairs; reflections shown to be more necessary than ever by the initial 'no' vote to the Treaty in the June 2008 referendum. The purpose of this paper is to examine all of these developments.
This book examines how Ireland's relationship with the EU was affected by a succession of crises; the financial crisis, the migration crisis and the Brexit crisis, in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The various crises were not of equal significance on the island of Ireland. The financial crisis was a huge issue for the Republic but not Northern Ireland; Brexit had a major impact in both polities; the migration and populism issues were less controversial; and foreign policy challenges had a minimal impact. The book provides a summary of the main features of each of the main crises to be considered, from both the EU and the Irish perspective. It also explores a number of policy areas which are central to the understanding of each of the crises and the impact each crisis has had for Ireland. Chapters examine issues such as security, migration and taxation as well as protest politics, political parties, the media, public opinion and the economic impact of each of these crises on Ireland's relationship with the EU. The book is also the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive analysis on British-Irish relations in the context of Brexit assessing in particular the Withdrawal Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the devolution settlement and the 1998 Agreement as well as the European dimension to Northern Ireland's peace process. Leading academics from Ireland, the UK and the EU have combined to provide a thought-provoking book which will be invaluable to anyone interested in contemporary Irish politics and economics. Analysts of the EU, particularly those interested on the impact of the financial crisis, populism and Brexit on Ireland's relationship with the EU will also find it essential reading.
Foreword by Shane Ross "As Ireland looks to regroup and rebuild for the future, this is exactly the type of book the country needs, with new people and new ideas." Peter Sutherland, former EU Commissioner and Director General of GATT and the WTO "Every crisis presents an opportunity and Ireland’s current crisis gives us an opportunity to reshape the country, to make it future-proof. Next Generation Ireland contains some fascinating ideas by some of Ireland's brightest young thinkers on how to build the Ireland of the 2020s and 2030s." David McWilliams, economist and author Ireland in the early 2010s stands at a crossroads. The ongoing change and crisis in institutions that once had our trust force us to ask, "What now?" Next Generation Ireland brings together ten young Irish men and women to answer this very question. All are under forty and are emerging experts in their chosen fields. They have come together because they believe that, in this time of questioning, there exists a huge opportunity for the next generation to build the Ireland of the 2020s and 2030s.The book tackles the essential challenges confronting Irish politics and society, the economy, the environment, and Ireland’s relationship with the rest of the world. Each writer proposes transformative policies in their respective areas that will renew and sustain the Irish state in the coming decades. Urging reform and policy transformation, Next Generation Ireland marks the beginning of an interesting conversation. Do you wish to participate?
