Description:

The National Library of Ireland is the library of record for Ireland. Each year we archive hundreds of websites relating to a variety of aspects of Irish life, from education, to politics and elections, public sector, to music, sport, science and technology, the Irish language and global events.

These websites are essential to collect and preserve as a record of contemporary Irish life. We archive these materials in the public interest and make them available for the purposes of research and private study.

Local and European Elections 2019

Archived since: May, 2019

Description:

Websites and Twitter accounts relating to the 2019 Local and European elections. Please note that the websites of political parties and local authorities were archived as part of this election, but are available in separate collections. • For the European elections, the website or Twitter account of all outgoing MEPs were archived. The successful candidates in each constituency were also archived along with the runner-up. • A number of media and commentary websites were included, for example, The Journal and Tuairisc were archived. • The websites of other groups, e.g. Women for Election, INAR, Spunout, were included to represent some of the issues that came up in the election. • To represent the local elections in Ireland, the NLI undertook significant research and compiled a comprehensive list of all candidates. It was decided that a random sample of candidates’ websites, representing all constituencies in Ireland would be included in the archive. However, this proved impossible as not all candidates in the random sample had websites. It was therefore impossible to include a representative sample and it was decided that individual candidate websites would not be included.
