Leitrim woman set to follow in her father's footsteps following co-option onto Council
Cllr Irene Guckian Rabbitte was co-opted to the local authority at today's plenary meeting which was held in Carrigallen.
Cllr Guckian Rabbitte succeeds her father Des Guckian who resigned from Leitrim County Council last month.
Cllr Guckian Rabbitte was formally proposed by Cllr Enda Stenson and seconded by Cllr Sean Mc Gowan.
A spokesperson for Leitrim County Council said, 'Cathaoirleach of Leitrim County Council Cllr Paddy O'Rourke, Chief Executive Joseph Gilhooly and her new colleagues welcomed her to the council and wished her every success in the role.'
South Leitrim councillor Des Guckian resigned from Leitrim County Council after 11 years as a councillor in April.

There's never been a better time for a left alliance - if they don't fall out first
A left government led by Mary Lou McDonald , Holly Cairns and Ivana Bacik would represent practical politics. The biggest obstacle to success is a split. But there is a mountain to climb electorally and the next general election, likely to happen in 2029, is some way over the horizon. Sinn Féin , the Social Democrats and Labour understand that as opposition, they failed to offer an alternative before the last election, with the result that an unloved Government limps on. Ironically, it was the Government that unified the opposition. Allowing backbench Regional Group TDs to simultaneously enjoy the opportunities of opposition and the privileges of Government was a stunt too far. Their instant unity was more surprising given the Seanad election which had just concluded. That particular election was a tale of some deals done, other offers rebuffed, and promises broken among the larger left parties and the Greens. But that's politics. It is always tomorrow that counts. READ MORE The result is that we have a more focused opposition and that will matter for the Government. The Robert Tressell Festival in Dublin's Liberty Hall last month was a platform for left unity. Robert Tressell was the pen name of the real-life Irish house painter Robert Noonan, who wrote the great book The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists. At the festival, there were positive expressions of intent about forging a closer bond. McDonald said the left can take the Government on and offer a 'real alternative'. Labour's Marie Sherlock said the general election had been a kind of own goal for the left, adding that a common left platform was needed to oust a 'semi-permanent centre-right government'. Sinéad Gibney had more to say on the same theme for the Social Democrats. But it was Socialist TD Ruth Coppinger who talked about alternative politics, not just an alternative government, when she said 'a common left platform has to be a challenge to capitalism and the ideas of capitalism'. She was on her own on that. The centre has not held since 2020 because neither Fianna Fáil nor Fine Gael are an alternative government to the other None of Sinn Féin, Social Democrats or Labour have ruled out going into government with Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. They want the Government parties out, of course, but a test of mettle will be their willingness to burn the bridge to coalition with what passes for centre-right politics in Ireland. The ambient lighting on the left is redder now, but the mood remains tentative. Before the last election, Davy, the stockbroker group, told its clients that Sinn Féin was ' more New Labour than Corbyn Labour '. In fact, it's a populist, nationalist party. It might, if it sticks to its new script, be the centre of a left-wing coalition. This is because, to the discomfort of some in Labour, the Social Democrats are prepared to stand in the picture with Sinn Féin. The Social Democrats are a party of mainly new TDs, who know they don't really like Labour but have forgotten why. Their founding identity was based on not being a mudguard for Fine Gael and its cohort of younger voters were never inoculated against Sinn Féin. By exercising their agency, they have weakened Labour's natural preference for a Labour–Social Democrats–Green alliance without Sinn Féin. The Social Democrats' willingness to stand in with Sinn Féin means Labour has less scope to stand out. A new mix on the left is giving a different flavour. It is a big deal for Labour to accept they now share a franchise, but they are. McDonald stated a plain truth when she said the days of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael 'controlling both government and opposition at the same time are over'. The centre has not held since 2020 because neither Fianna Fáil nor Fine Gael are an alternative government to the other. If they can't muster the numbers together, one or the other may be able to form a government with some left parties, where the left is more prominent than ever before. Alternatively, they lose decisively, the left alliance holds and forms a government in a historic departure of sorts. [ Gerry Adams defamation verdict won't have a chilling effect on journalism - and here's why Opens in new window ] [ Who really owns the music festival you're heading to this summer? Opens in new window ] Coppinger's views on the need for the left to challenge capitalism will never be taken up by the soft left. The left generally, and Sinn Féin particularly, are allergic to the broader tax base that would fund the more active state they demand. The slow bicycle race towards the next election has begun. For Sinn Féin, the Social Democrats and Labour, their mutual relations sway between coalition, colonisation and cannibalism. They have the makings of an alternative government, however. Housing at home, Trump abroad and diminishing traditional political loyalties mean that anything is possible, including a left government in Ireland.

What media sources did people use & trust before voting in 2024 General Election?
Analysis: Here's what a new study found about the media Irish voters used and trusted when getting information ahead of last year's election By Robert Brennan and Rabhya Mehrotra, DCU In November 2024, the people of Ireland went to the polls to cast their ballots in the General Election. But what media sources did people use to inform themselves before voting? How much trust do they place in these different sources? The recently published National Election and Democracy Study sheds some light on these questions, and more. Media vs social media vs WhatsApp Most people rely on RTÉ at least occasionally to form opinions before voting, followed closely by social media (such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram) and direct information from political parties and candidates via leaflets and websites etc. Notably, social media had the most frequent response of 'Often'. Newspapers are also used regularly (including online versions and those accessed through social media), though a fifth of people said they never use them to form opinions. Messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat) are the least used, with over half of those surveyed reporting never using them. Does media use and trust differ by age? Breaking down these trends by age group reveals some noteworthy differences, 41% of Gen Z (ages 18 to 24) never use RTÉ for information before voting, but nearly three-quarters of those aged 65 or older never use social media, contrasting with only 12% of Gen Z. However, usage does not mean trust. When asked how much they trust each of these sources, an intriguing trend emerges. Overall, journalistic sources such as RTÉ and newspapers are trusted far more than non-journalistic sources like social media and messages. Trust in journalistic sources remained high across all age groups with little variation, while trust in social media peaks among Gen Z but declines steadily with age. What institutions do people trust? It is also possible to look at trust in institutions more generally. It is relatively high but varies with the An Coimisiún Toghcháin/the Electoral Commission being the most trusted and political parties the least. Interestingly the Citizens' Assembly is highly trusted. Importantly, using and/or trusting journalistic media is correlated with higher trust institutions more broadly. Despite younger voters leaning towards using non-journalistic sources, a key takeaway here is that traditional journalistic media retains high trust across all age groups when it comes to forming an opinion before voting. It is also related to higher trust in the state institutions more broadly. Dr Robert A. Brennan is a postdoctoral researcher with the Institute for Future Media, Democracy and Society (FuJo) at DCU. Rabhya Mehrotra is a Mitchell Scholar who is doing a Masters in Political Communication at DCU. She is a part of the COMDEL (FuJo).

3 crucial issues facing the Government on housing
In a week when the minister responsible for housing admitted that meeting the Government's own target for the delivery of new housing this year would be "extremely challenging", RTÉ's Economics and Public Affairs Editor David Murphy examines three key issues that must be addressed if progress is to be made. The Government is facing the most significant decision during its tenure on housing - what to do about rent caps. The limits on how much landlords can charge are blamed by some in the industry for a downturn in home building last year, although they protect thousands of financially stretched tenants in an already expensive market. The current Rent Pressure Zones were introduced as a temporary step in 2016 and continuously extended. In 2021 they were tightened, reducing the maximum increase from 4% to 2% and making them some of the most restrictive in the world. The current rent caps expire at the end of this year, and the Government has to decide if it plans to retain them, alter them or abandon them altogether. Last month the Minister for Housing James Browne received a report from the Housing Agency which looked at options on the issue for the Government. The report highlighted significant problems with retaining the existing 2% cap and looked at alternatives including moving to a higher limit. Another option, suggested by Paris-based think tank the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, is allowing to landlords freely adjust rents when tenants move out. But the downside is that it could act as a financial incentive for property owners to evict tenants. The feeling in government circles is that any change is going to require a lot of work to make it clear to the public why an adjustment to the rent caps is being planned. That would likely see ministers preparing the ground by explaining the drawbacks with the existing restrictions, which are partly blamed by the industry for a 24% fall in apartment construction last year. Obviously fewer new homes leads to higher rents at a time when the population is growing, the economy is expanding and there are plenty of jobs. It is important to note that the cycle of higher interest rates, now being reduced, made some building projects unviable for investors over recent years and that too was a factor in the fall in house building last year. Many observers across the political spectrum and housing sector believe the Government will have an exceptionally tough decision to make on rent caps and will face vocal opposition. Sources within the Coalition say that high level talks are continuing and a decision is possible in the coming weeks. Completions During the General Election last year, the Government controversially misled the public over how many houses would be built in 2024. A number of figures, including then Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien said about 40,000 would be completed last year. When the final figures were published only 30,000 were built. This year the Government has a target of 41,000 homes. The Economic and Social Research Institute forecasts it will fall short, and that 34,000 will be completed in 2025. This week, Minister Browne admitted meeting the Government's target would be "extremely challenging". He added there were "different numbers out there and they are all trending to the ESRI's number". But the Government's own target of 41,000 is far short of the approximately 50,000 or 60,000 homes other experts, including the Central Bank and the Housing Commission, say are needed to address the existing shortfall and future needs. This week, Minister Browne said the State is now involved in supporting about 50% of the housing output. He argues that if completions are to increase "we have to activate the private sector". That means getting more private investor involvement - which explains why the Government is reviewing the rental caps. Water connections Homes can't be finished without connections to water and wastewater networks. Late last year, Irish Water/Uisce Éireann said it could only connect 35,000 properties a year over the next five years. The utility has become notably vocal about key issues which it feels are hampering urgently needed improvements and expansions of the water network. At the Oireachtas Committee on Infrastructure this week, Uisce Éireann CEO Niall Gleeson forecast it would spend €10.3bn on capital projects between 2025 and 2029. But he said the organisation required a further €2bn to achieve the Government's objective of building 300,000 homes over the next five years. He also criticised the existing funding model and said providing additional money annually creates uncertainty. He suggested multiannual funding to help deliver long-term projects. The Department of Housing says Uisce Éireann's request for an additional €2bn is being considered in the context of the revised National Development Plan which is expected to be published in July. Mr Gleeson also highlighted issues with the planning system and said some complex projects are taking more than a decade to get the green light. He called for reform of legislation to tackle the issue. The Government continually repeats that dealing with the housing crisis is the number one issue for this administration, but it has a lot to do before it can convince observers that significant progress is being made.
