Presidential Election, By- Election and Referendum
The response identified commitments to be welcomed and areas of concern. Vague and insufficient information in costs and changes in policy which will move Ireland away from a ‘welfare state’ approach move towards a ‘regulatory state’ approach are noted and commented upon.
This initial response is a very useful and reader-friendly introduction on the plan which will impact on our issues in the years ahead.
Recent Election - Difficulties Experienced by Voters
We have had a number of phone calls and emails concerning problems related to the recent General Election 2011 - difficulties with registration procedures and entitlement to cast a vote. We suggest that voters who experience these or similar problems contact the Franchise Section of your Local County Council.
Approximately 70% of people living in Ireland voted in the 2011 General Election
Many people believe that by casting their vote they have met their obligation to participate in the democratic system. Voting at elections time is not enough. If we seek a more just and inclusive society we need to continue to engage with our electoral representatives. This engagement is essential to ensure that promises are honoured and our representatives held accountable!
