2016 CHANGES: Will be amongst the most signficantly-transformed constituencies next time out. Keeps its name, but loses a seat, going from 5 to 4. Also, gives up massive turf to the east, to Dublin Bay South (formerly Dublin South East, home of Ruari Quinn and, of old, Garret Fitzgerald). Gone are all 4 Terenure wards (ABCD), and parts of Kimmage. This will displace over 12,000 voters on the DSC’s... » MORE...

IRELAND’S most distinguished and controversial historian will give a free lecture this Thursday in Dublin. Joe Lee’s late eighties book, Ireland 1912-1985: Politics and Society, suffered official disapproval for its merciless dissection of the mismanagement of Irish society since the foundation of the state.
Tiger The onset of the 1990s “Tiger” economy meant his views were ever more scornfully dismissed. Now, however, the book is being widely revisited and praised for its clear-sighted analysis of Ireland’s weak economy and political immaturity.
Meet Joe Lee this Thursday, May 16 2012 at 7:00pm at 6 Kildare St, for a free talk sponsored by History Ireland.
Booking advisable: call 293 3568
Lee’s book
is back
• In the 1990s, Tiger cubs mocked Lee’s analysis of our “failed”, “imitative” policies. But now the book reads like a lone voice of sanity
Elsewhere:
• A senator fights a lonely battle to keep the Lottery offline, non-addictive...and Irish
• Children aged 5 are taking care of their unwell parents. Why? And what is the Minister doing?
• Read how the game is taking off in Dublin — and how a novice could well win the Irish Open
