  • The Debate on Abortion in Northern Ireland
    The Debate on Abortion in Northern Ireland: An examination of voices and frames in mainstream media Malene Bethina Nicolajsen MA THESIS Supervisor: Lise Rolandsen Agustin Master’s Programme in European Studies & Global Gender Studies Aalborg University Spring 2017 Abstract The topic of this thesis is an analysis of the public debate on abortion in Northern Ireland in terms of inclusion and exclusion of voices and frames. On December 15th 2015, a judge at the Belfast High Court ruled that the current abortion law in the province of Northern Ireland was incompatible with human rights, specifically when it came to abortion provisions in cases of fatal fetal abnormality and rape or incest. The Northern Ireland Assembly chose to vote on proposed amendments to the abortion law on February 10th 2016. This study examined the debate on abortion that took place in mainstream media in relation to the proposed changes to the law, with the scope limited to the time span between these two events. The problem formulation examined is: How does the public debate on abortion in Northern Ireland include some voices and frames and potentially exclude others? Previous studies on abortion in Northern Ireland have identified that the anti-abortion view is dominant in the province’ political institutions (see e.g. Smyth 2006; Thomson 2016;). There has been a tendency to draw on a common culture of pro-life that serve to make people of a different opinion refrain from voicing their views (see e.g. Fegan & Rebouche 2003). Furthermore, a study by Ferree et al. (2002) found that some actors were excluded from mainstream media in the public debate on abortion in both Germany and the United States.

  • CANDIDATES NORTHERN IRELAND 1959-1970 ALLIANCE PARTY Of
    Page | 1 LIBERAL CANDIDATES in NORTHERN IRELAND 1959-1970 (WESTMINSTER PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS ONLY) PREFACE The Liberal Party contested no parliamentary elections in Northern Ireland in the inter-war years nor over the period 1945-55. In 1956 the Ulster Liberal Association, later re-named the Ulster Liberal Party, was founded. A limited number of constituencies were contested for both Westminster and the Stormont Parliament from 1959. Of the nine candidates listed, three fought elections in constituencies in mainland Britain also, one of whom stood in two regions and another in three. Shortly after the Westminster General Election of 1970, the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland was founded which absorbed most, but not all, of the membership of the former ULP. A formal relationship existed for over three decades between the Liberal Democratic Party and the APNI when it was termed ‘our sister party.’ This understanding subsequently lapsed. The first APNI MP elected to the House of Commons, M/s Naomi Long, for Belfast East in 2010, did not take the Lib Dem whip and moreover sat on the opposition benches during the Coalition government 2010-2015. Indeed she expressed disagreement with key policies which appeared in the Liberal Democratic Party Manifesto at the 2010 General Election. After much thought it was decided to include APNI candidates in a separate section of the Index. Should the two parties decide to associate more closely or not, it is unlikely that they will oppose each other in future Westminster elections. Clearly the APNI has continued to receive electoral support from many voters who might well have opted for the Liberal Democrats in elections after 1970, had the party stood candidates, and will continue to do so in future Westminster elections.

The beautifully restored Ballybot House was the venue for the first of two Community Conferences in October. The Assembly, in partnership with the Confederation of Community Groups, provided a robust programme in Newry. Attendees from local community groups and agencies started the day with a whistle-stop tour of how the Assembly works. The broadcaster Eamonn Mallie hosted a Question and Answer William Irwin MLA session with 5 MLAs –Dominic Bradley, Mickey Brady, William Irwin, Danny Kennedy and Trevor Lunn. It was a rare opportunity to have 5 parties represented on a panel and the delegates wasted no time in asking some very tough questions. Some of the MLAs stayed to lend their expertise in chairing a session on presenting to a Committee before delegates gave their thoughts on how the Assembly can connect more effectively with its audiences. Raymond Jackson, Chief Executive of the Confederation of Community Groups said: Danny Kennedy MLA “As the Assembly gains momentum, more and more decisions are being made at Stormont which affect the groups we represent.
