Irish Politics
Irish Politics Today was written by Neil Collins and Frank McCann. This book was written in 1989 so is a little out of date. This book gives a very good outline of the history of Ireland, from when Ireland got its independence to the present day government. The book was very interesting and kept you attention the whole way through. The book covered every aspect of Ireland in a very general manner. There were not very many specific names other than the Presidents and the Taoiseach. Chapter one looks at the history of Ireland starting with its two jurisdictions Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Ireland got its independence in 1922. The book refers to the Republic of Ireland as the "Republic". Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. When the republic got its independence the island was divided into thirty-two counties. The Republic controlled twenty-six of those counties. France and America had a huge influence on the people of Ireland resisting the British. The first attempt to gain independence was in 1798. Wolfe Tone attempted to overthrow the British, but he failed both militarily and politically. The Great Famine between 1845 and 1851 killed one million people. Th
There is no church sate conflict because 90% of the population is Catholic. The Anglo- Irish treaty was signed in 1921 ending the war. They are economic dependent on external funding and ideas. Chapter four is about the policy process. Their power is to revise and clarify Bills. The Bunreacht na hEireann sees the whole island of Ireland as being the National Territory but also the jurisdiction is limited to the twenty-six counties of the Country. The country is divided into forty-one constituencies. In Northern Ireland the Catholic religion forms 38% of the population. . Since 1932 Britain has had a direct rule over Northern Ireland under a cabinet minister, called the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland has the worst housing conditions in the United Kingdom. The World economic crisis of the 1920's and 30's caused Ireland to change from a free trade principle to protectionism. Irelands main export was live cattle to Britain. From 1941 to 1972 Bunreacht na hEireann has remained unchanged.
