ABSTRACT This article analyses the legislative agenda in Ireland since 1922 using new data coded within the Comparative Agendas Project framework. The data, generated using the codebook of the Irish Policy Agendas Project (http://irishpolicyagendas.eu/), show clear evidence of long-term changes in the complexity, issue focus, and Europeanisation of the legislative agenda in Ireland. The study uses the Irish case to test some existing arguments concerning the influence on the policy agenda of governments’ political capacity and pressures generated by policy problems. Its findings suggest that government capacity influences the agenda, but not in the way theorised: greater capacity leads, on average, to higher stability; more specifically, this effect is evident in the absence of government turnover, as governments maintain a focus on ‘their own’ issues as they continue in office. There is no evidence that the pressure to solve policy problems, in the form of weak or negative economic growth, influences the stability of the legislative agenda. The article contributes to the study of agenda stability, the analysis of Irish politics and public policy, and it provides a basis for coding comparable data across other policy agendas in Ireland.

ABSTRACT The relationship between the policy ambitions of political incumbents and the organisation of the state administration to achieve them is complex and fluid, and cross-sectional studies provide useful but limited insights into how this relationship is evolving. There is evidence that the challenge of managing and coordinating the modern state’s stock of public policies is under considerable pressure, however, arising from the accumulation of increasingly diverse policy responsibilities. In the Westminster/Whitehall administrative tradition, the primary actor for managing these endeavours is the ministerial ‘department’, which acts as the central organisational entity for formulating and coordinating public policy measures, and accounting for their implementation. In this paper, drawing on a data-set spanning a century of Irish public administration (www.isad.ie) and other sources, the changing profile of ministerial departments between 1922 and 2022 are examined in longitudinal perspective to illuminate the incidence and content of policy portfolio accumulation, and the political and administrative responses to these changes.

This Symposium brings together articles focusing on political determinants of public policy in Ireland. It is a product of two recent developments: the re-ani-mation of the Public Policy Specialist Group of the Political Studies Association of Ireland (PSAI) (https://www.psai.ie/specialist-groups/public-policy-specialist-group/) and the development of the Irish Policy Agendas Project (http://irishpolicyagendas.eu/) as part of the international Comparative Agendas Project network. The articles in the Symposium focus on a range of actors that play impor-tant roles in policymaking: interest groups, political parties, legislatures and government ministries. In doing so, they collectively (and in some cases indi-vidually – e.g. Crepaz and Chari) refer to several stages of the policy process, including problem-de fi nition, agenda-setting, policy formulation, adoption and implementation. The articles are diverse in their research questions and empirical scope, but beyond their common concern with policy, they have several features in common:
