international / politics / elections Tuesday April 11, 2006 - 06:13 by %
The canton of Bern in Switzerland held elections on Sunday and results indicate a definite SWING to the social democrats and greens, who won with a LANDSLIDE / AVALANCHE result and gained 3 of the 7 seats.
CONFUSION
The right wing Swiss People's Party were HARDEST HIT. They'd held out for a 4th seat but lost one!
DEAD HEAT
Centre right radical party hopefuls saw their weekend celebrations DASHED when they lost one seat to a greenie. ""For the government election, it was a case of voters wanting to punish the Right for trying to claim six out of seven seats," said Hanspeter Kriesi, head of the Center for Comparative and international Studies in Zurich & EXPERT.
Too arrogant

"The Right was seen as too arrogant. Even so, it was a surprise since Bern is traditionally conservative.".... "The Greens helped the Left " ..... ribbid gurggle ..... PHOTOFINISH Yes indeed for the People's party are very anti-European.

Harold's Cross Park celebrated it's centenary in 1994. A plaque commemorates the endowment of the Victorian Park to the people of the Rathmines/Harold's Cross townland. Cllr Mary Frehill performed the dedication ceremony. The park is a protected structure in its whole integrity including the original railings, the promenade ring, the hankerchief tree which commerorates the Women's Laundry strike and the view of the chapel and cemetry at Mount Jerome.
Today at 11am, I walked to the park with my daughter to find the park be-ribboned and works ongoing which are dedicated to the removal of the Victorian (or Edwardian ) railings, for 'safety reasons'.
There has been no planning notice to this effect on the railings or access points to the park. There has been no public consultation with the residents of the area as to the plans undertaken by Dublin City Council. When I started to take photographs I was threatened by a council worker that he would take a photo of me and that he would call the gardai, thus I confined my mobile camera to the pretty ribbons, until braver people came along. I asked a park keeper if this work would not affect the visual integrity of the park and if planning permission had been sought. He replied that as it was a safety excerise, that he did not believe that permissions were required. The protected structures within the park: two red-brick out-buildings are protected but the park itself was under the jurisdiction of the council. Councillor Frehill, when contacted stated that the works were going to be stopped pending a site visit this evening and a look at the plans for works. There has been in effect a complete stoppage of works until the reason for works and plans are inspected, under enforcement regulations.
