On 2nd Sept, 51 councillors of Dublin City Council (DCC) used a Borda Count (BC) or Modified Borda Count (MBC) to name a new bridge over the Liffey, the Rosie Hackett bridge. As far as is known, this is the first time that DCC, or any elected chamber in Ireland, North or South, has used a Borda methodology in decision-making. An initial analysis is attached, as too is a full report by Prof. John Baker. The bridge is due to be opened on 20.5.2014.
