General Election Regional Analysis 13th feb 2011Richard Colwell
Fine Gael finds most support outside of Dublin according to a regional analysis of polls. In Dublin, Labour has the strongest support at 29% on average over the past four polls, while Fine Gael is at 29% and Fianna Fail is lowest at 12%. Outside Dublin, Fine Gael support is highest in Munster at 38% and Connaught/Ulster at 41%, while Labour support drops to around 10-15%. Fianna Fail support is fairly consistent across regions at 15-19%.
The document summarizes the results of an opinion poll tracking voting intentions for Ireland's general election in February 2011. It finds that Fine Gael has gained support during the campaign period, rising to 39% of the vote, though it is unclear if this will be enough for a majority government. Support for Labour has declined as support for Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has increased. Fine Gael also has stronger voter loyalty and may perform better in seats than national vote share due to transfers. The election remains close between Fine Gael and Labour in the final week.
This document summarizes the findings of a survey tracking the personal and economic impact of the recession in Ireland:
1) While the recession's impact has not been as severe as initially feared, consumers remain cautious about the future of the Irish economy, with nearly 1 in 3 expecting conditions to worsen over the next 6 months.
2) Most report maintaining or improving their quality of life, happiness, energy and motivation over the past year compared to expectations. However, 3 in 10 still report a high personal impact from the recession.
3) Younger age groups and those in Dublin and urban areas report the greatest improvements across measures of well-being and life satisfaction compared to a year ago.

The document discusses the relationship between individuals and groups in 2010. It focuses on how people both define themselves individually but also as part of larger collective groups and communities. Finding a balance between individual needs and wants with the needs of the groups people belong to is an ongoing challenge.
This document contains the results of an opinion poll conducted in Ireland in October 2010. It finds:
- Fine Gael remains the largest party at 32%, while Labour has increased to 27% overtaking Fianna Fail at 18%. Support for parties is more volatile than in the past.
- Only a third of voters are firmly loyal to their preferred party, suggesting two-thirds could still change their minds. Labour in particular needs to convince new supporters to vote for them.
- Just 25% trust Fine Gael/Labour to manage the economy, down from 59% who said they would vote for them.
- When undecided voters are allocated based on past voting, support increases to 31% for Fine
The document summarizes the results of an opinion poll conducted in Ireland in February 2011 regarding voter intentions for the upcoming general election. It finds that 20% of voters remain undecided, compared to 15% at the same time before the 2007 election. The large pool of undecided and floating voters means all parties still have potential support to gain. In particular, many former Fianna Fáil voters are looking for a new party, creating opportunities for Fine Gael and Labour to attract these voters as they battle to influence the shape of the next government.
This poll found that support for Fine Gael increased to 33% after Enda Kenny retained the party leadership, while Labour support rose to 27%, its highest level. Fianna Fail support remained steady at 24%. Support dropped for smaller parties. While Kenny stabilized Fine Gael, Labour leader Eamon Gilmore was viewed as the best potential Taoiseach at 40%. The poll showed Ireland has a three party race forming ahead of the next election.

The poll showed Ireland has a three party race forming ahead of the next election.
Fine Gael sees further gains in support according to a new poll, with their first preference vote share rising 3% to 38%. While support fluctuates between polls, Fine Gael has seen a clear upward trend over the campaign period. Independent candidates also make gains this week as undecided former Fianna Fail supporters look for options. Fianna Fail support drops to 15%, surprising analysts who expected their vote to harden. Labour and Sinn Fein also see losses.
The document discusses a poll on voting intentions for Ireland's general election in 2011. It finds that Fianna Fail will do poorly, likely getting between 16-22% of first preference votes, down from 42% in 2007. Labour is expected to make significant gains but their support may be "flaky", predicting between the high teens to mid-twenties. Fine Gael is most likely to lead the next government, predicted to be between the low and mid-30s. Sinn Fein could do better than 2007 but closer to 10%. The Green Party may not have any TDs. Independents are expected to prosper, likely seeing more independent candidate seats.
The document summarizes key events and statistics from 2010 in Ireland. It discusses the cold winter weather, decline in tourism, rise in new car sales, high outward migration rates, negative impacts of the recession on health and relationships, increased popularity of staying in for entertainment, and approval of an EU banking bailout package. It also notes a drop in support for Fianna Fail and Brian Cowen, increased smartphone usage, and potential for growth if consumer sentiment improves in 2011 under a new government.
The document summarizes the results of an opinion poll on voter intentions in Ireland. It finds support for Fianna Fail declining to the mid-teens while Fine Gael and Sinn Fein see rises. Labour support falls to 23% but those remaining are more loyal. Undecided voters are reallocated based on past voting behavior. The poll suggests voters are crystallizing intentions as the election nears.
The document summarizes the results of an opinion poll conducted in Ireland between November 15-17, 2010. It finds that support for Fianna Fail continues to decline, with the party now at only 17% first preference votes. Fine Gael remains the top party at 33% with Labour in second at 27%. The document analyzes whether some voters may be "ashamed" to admit supporting Fianna Fail due to its unpopularity, which could slightly increase its support levels. However, even taking this factor into account, Fianna Fail's support would still be less than half of what it achieved in the 2007 election.
This document summarizes the results of an opinion poll tracking voting intentions in Ireland. The key findings are:
- Support for Fianna Fail dropped to its lowest level ever at 18%, down 6% from the previous month, suggesting recent budget issues have further damaged the party.
- Labour saw the largest gains and is now the second largest party with 27%, up 4%, while support for Fine Gael remains steady at 32%, keeping it the largest party.
- Only a third of voters are completely loyal to their stated party, and up to two-thirds could potentially change their mind, indicating a very volatile electorate currently struggling to find a party to support.
This poll finds that support for Fianna Fail remains stable at 24% despite recent controversies involving Brian Cowen. Support declines slightly for Fine Gael (down 2% to 31%) and Labour (down 4% to 23%). Confidence in Brian Cowen as Taoiseach remains low at 19%, and 29% say they would be more likely to vote Fianna Fail with a new leader. However, a leadership change may only increase Fianna Fail's vote by 1-2%. Only 30% have confidence in Fine Gael and Labour's ability to manage the economy.
- The positive trend in consumer confidence in Ireland has slowed due to concerns about the economic situation in Greece and other Eurozone countries, fueling fears of a potential "Recession 2.0".
- While some consumers have increased spending already, most are now more cautious about further spending increases due to worries about how the recession may personally impact them.
- Younger consumers and higher-income groups remain most likely to increase spending, but they are focusing on everyday shopping rather than luxury purchases or leisure activities for now due to pessimism about the global economy.
The document summarizes the results of an opinion poll conducted in May 2010 on voting intentions in Ireland. It finds that Labour has held on to most of the gains from last month's poll, remaining at 22% support. Fine Gael saw its support drop by 3% to 30%, its lowest level since 2009. Fianna Fail remained steady at 24% support. Over 47% felt Ireland was heading in the wrong direction.
- A poll of 1000 Irish adults found support for Fianna Fail fell 3% to 24% after Brian Cowen's cabinet reshuffle, disappointing the party.
- Brian Cowen's personal ratings dramatically declined since becoming Taoiseach in 2008, with fewer voters feeling he understands people, has been a good leader, or is capable of leading Ireland out of recession.
- Support for Fine Gael remained steady at 35% while Labour and Sinn Fein saw smaller gains, suggesting they did not significantly benefit from Fianna Fail's decline.
Sunday Business Post Feb Poll 2010 Chart DeckRichard Colwell
The poll found little change in party support levels compared to January, despite several high-profile resignations from government parties. Fine Gael remained the largest party at 34%. Fianna Fail support held at 27%. Labour saw no gains despite other parties' troubles. Nearly half of voters believe it is now time for the Greens to leave government.
Consumer confidence in Ireland is at its highest level in a year according to a recent survey, suggesting that consumers feel the economy may be recovering. However, consumers remain reluctant to increase their spending until they are certain the recovery will last. While over half of consumers expect the Irish and world economies to improve or stay the same in the next six months, most are not yet willing to spend more on entertainment, groceries or holidays. Younger consumers and those in higher social classes are most optimistic and likely to increase spending first if signs of recovery continue. Policymakers must reinforce this growing consumer optimism to help drive Ireland's exit from recession.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
