  • The 2011 Irish general election took place on Friday 25 February to elect 166 Teachtaí Dála across 43 constituencies to Dáil Éireann, the lower house of Ireland's parliament, the Oireachtas. The Dáil was dissolved and the general election called by President Mary McAleese on 1 February, at the request of Taoiseach Brian Cowen. The 31st Dáil met on 9 March 2011 to nominate a Taoiseach and ratify the new ministers of the 29th Government of Ireland. Cowen had previously announced on 20 January that the election would be held on 11 March, and that after the 2011 budget had been passed he would seek a dissolution of the 30th Dáil by the President. However, the Green Party, the junior party in coalition government with Cowen's Fianna Fáil, withdrew from government on 23 January, stating that it would support only a truncated finance bill from the opposition benches, in order to force an earlier election. On 24 January, Finance Minister Brian Lenihan Jnr reached an agreement with the opposition in Dáil Éireann to complete all stages of passing the finance bill in both houses of the Oireachtas by 29 January—following which the Dáil was to be dissolved immediately. Constitutionally, following a Dáil dissolution, an election must be held within 30 days. Following the collapse of the coalition, the then minority governing party, Fianna Fáil, sought to minimise its losses following historically low poll ratings in the wake of the Irish financial crisis. Fine Gael sought to gain a dominant position in Irish politics after poor results in the 2000s, and to replace Fianna Fáil for the first time as the largest party in Dáil Éireann. The Labour Party hoped to make gains from both sides, and was widely expected to become the second-largest party and to enter into coalition government with Fine Gael; its highest ambition at the start of the campaign, buoyed by record poll ratings in preceding months, was to become the leading partner in government for the first time in the party's 99-year history. The Green Party, having been in coalition with Fianna Fáil during the Government of the 30th Dáil, faced stiff competition for its votes and was expected to lose at least four of its six seats. Sinn Féin was expected to make gains, encouraged by a by-election victory in November 2010 and by opinion polls which placed it ahead of Fianna Fáil. Some other left-wing groups, including People Before Profit, Workers and Unemployed Action and the Socialist Party, contested the general election under a joint banner, the United Left Alliance. Fianna Fáil was swept from power in the worst defeat of a sitting government since the formation of the Irish state in 1922. The party lost more than half of its first-preference vote from 2007, and garnered only 20 seats. It was the third-largest party in the 31st Dáil; this was the first election since that of September 1927 out of which it did not emerge the largest party in the chamber. The Irish Times, Ireland's newspaper of record, described Fianna Fáil's meltdown as "defeat on a historic scale." Fine Gael won 76 seats, becoming the largest party in the Dáil for the first time in its 78-year history, while the Labour Party became the second-largest party, with 37 seats; Sinn Féin also increased its number of seats. Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny became Taoiseach, in a coalition with Labour. (en)

  • Reáchtáladh Olltoghchán na hÉireann, 2011 ar an 25 Feabhra 2011. Toghadh 166 Teachta Dála, an 31ú Dáil Éireann. Bhí Brian Ó Comhain, Fianna Fáil, mar Thaoiseach roimh an toghchán, i gcomhrialtas leis an gComhaontas Glas. Mar gheall ar an ghéarchéim airgeadais a bhí ann ó 2008, ceapadh go raibh Fianna Fáil chun go leor suíochán sa Dáil a chailliúint. Chaill Fianna Fáil 50 as na 71 suíochán a bhí acu roimh ré, an toghchán is measa a bhí ag rialtas Éireannach riamh. Bhuaigh Fine Gael 77 suíochán sa Dáil agus ba iad an páirtí is mó sa 31ú Dáil, mar sin. Bhuaigh Páirtí an Lucht Oibre 37 suíochán agus bhuaigh Sinn Féin níos mó suíocháin chomh maith. (ga)

  • Wybory parlamentarne w Irlandii odbyły się 25 lutego 2011. Były to wybory przedterminowe (kadencja 30. Dáil upłynęłaby w czerwcu 2012). Irlandczycy wybierali kandydatów na 165 ze 166 miejsc w Dáil Éireann. W Irlandii obowiązuje ordynacja proporcjonalna (system pojedynczego głosu przechodniego). W listopadzie 2010 Taoiseach Brian Cowen zapowiedział przedterminowe wybory na 11 marca 2011, odbyły się jednak wcześniej wskutek przejścia Zielonych do opozycji i wcześniejszego rozwiązania parlamentu. Według exit poll wybory wygrała Fine Gael, zdobywając 36% głosów, nie wystarczy to jednak do uzyskania samodzielnej większości w Dáil. Na drugim miejscu znalazła się Partia Pracy, a na trzecim Fianna Fáil. Fianna Fáil uzyskała najgorszy wynik w historii, zaś Partia Pracy oraz Sinn Féin – najlepszy. (pl)
  • Парламентские выборы в Ирландии 2011 года — досрочные выборы в Парламент Ирландии, прошедшие 25 февраля 2011 года, связанные с отставкой Брайана Коуэна и подписанием документа о роспуске парламента. Причина выборов — резкое ухудшение экономической ситуации в стране в результате финансово-экономического кризиса, приведшего к тому, что Ирландия стала второй страной Европейского Союза после Греции, запросившей кредит у ЕС и МВФ и получившей его в объёме 85 миллиардов евро. Голосование проходило с 7 утра до 10 вечера. Изначально голосование было намечено на 11 марта, но Зелёная партия по финансовым соображениям настояла на переносе сроков голосования на более раннюю дату. По Конституции Ирландии, голосование должно быть проведено в течение 30 дней после роспуска Дойла. (ru)
  • As eleições parlamentares irlandesas de 2011 foram realizadas a 25 de Fevereiro de 2011 após a dissolução do 30º Dáil pelo Presidente em 1 de Fevereiro de 2011, a pedido do Taoiseach Brian Cowen . Estas eleições ocorreram durante uma situação económica extremamente difícil, que, levou o governo da Irlanda a pedir um empréstimo ao FMI, BCE e UE. Este empréstimo e a situação difícil, levou o governo, liderado pelo Fianna Fáil a adoptar medidas de austeridade, que fez com que o Fianna Fáil perdesse popularidade entre o eleitorado irlandês. Os resultados finais das eleições, proporcionaram o pior resultado da história do Fianna Fáil, que, obteve 17% dos votos e 20 deputados, uma queda de 24% dos votos e de 57 deputados comparando com as eleições de 2007. Isto, também, significou que, pela primeira vez, o Fianna Fáil não era o partido mais votado da Irlanda desde da sua fundação em 1927. O Fine Gael foi o grande vencedor das eleições, obtendo, cerca de, 36% dos votos e 76 deputados e, mais importante, pela primeira vez na sua história, conseguiu ser o partido mais votado da Irlanda. Os outros grandes vencedores das eleições foram o Partido Trabalhista e o Sinn Féin que, obtiveram 20% e 10% dos votos, respectivamente. Importa realçar que, pela primeira vez, o Partido Trabalhista, conseguiu ficar à frente do Fianna Fáil. Por fim, de destacar, os bons resultados obtidos pelo Partido Socialista, que, concorrendo na , obteve 2 deputados e o aumento substancial de deputados independentes, que serão 14 no 31º Dáil. Após as eleições, no dia 5 de Março de 2011, o Fine Gael e o Partido Trabalhista chegaram a um acordo para formar o novo governo da Irlanda, liderado por Enda Kenny, líder do Fine Gael. (pt)
