(AQW 8350/09) First Minister and deputy First Minister (Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness): The Executive’s office in Brussels had a good working relationship with our MEPs under the last mandate and we would expect that relationship to continue. The issue of MEP engagement is currently under review. Officials plan to meet each of the MEPs in the near future and will take their views on the need for a more structured relationship. Cohesion, Sharing and Integration Strategy Mrs D Kelly asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, in light of the recent racist attacks and incidents in South Belfast, when the Cohesion, Sharing and Integration Strategy will be published. (AQW 8475/09) First Minister and deputy First Minister: We are appalled by the deplorable racist attacks on Romanian families in the South and East Belfast areas within the past two weeks, and indeed other recent racist and sectarian attacks. These are unacceptable acts on men, women and young children who came here to build a new future for themselves. This incident has done major damage to our reputation and our efforts to build a shared and better future for everyone. We have consistently stated that migrant workers are bringing very real benefits both to our society and our economy. We welcome and support those who have come to live and work here and we utterly condemn hate crime and discrimination of any kind. It must be remembered that these are the actions of a few; most people were appalled, and many acted to support these families. A range of groups we fund in Belfast, and local community representatives, are working to prevent more attacks of this kind and to support the unfortunate victims. We are fully committed to building a cohesive, shared and integrated society for all. We want to ensure that newcomers to our shores are welcomed into communities which are not divided, separate or unequal, whilst at the same time addressing the challenges that face new and host communities. We are on record as stating that we are finalising proposals for a draft Programme of Cohesion, Sharing and Integration. That Programme must, and will, tackle the challenges which local communities are facing. It will set a framework to confront racism, sectarianism and other prejudices. We hear the calls for us to conclude the preparation of our policy proposals. We are hopeful that work on this is nearing completion. However, we also recognise that a framework alone is not enough. It requires the efforts of us all to stand up to reject the behaviours and prejudices which underpin these actions. WA 213 Friday 10 July 2009 Written Answers We can reassure communities, particularly the most vulnerable, that whilst we liaise with the Assembly Committee, the work of challenging sectarianism, racism and all forms of intolerance is continuing with our active support. Gender Advisory Panel Mr P Weir asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the planned activities of the Gender Advisory Panel after 2009. (AQW 8485/09) First Minister and deputy First Minister: It is envisaged that the planned activities of the Gender Advisory Panel after 2009 will continue to focus on implementing the 10-year Gender Equality Strategy, and preparing for the mid-term review of the strategy in 2011. The current terms of reference for the Gender Advisory Panel are due for review in June 2009. The next meeting of the Gender Advisory Panel is to take place on 11 September 2009. The current terms of reference stipulate that meetings shall take place several times a year and members of the advisory panel will be given two optional dates 4 weeks in advance of a meeting. Gender Advisory Panel Mr P Weir asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the timescales for any future activities of the Gender Advisory Panel. (AQW 8486/09) First Minister and deputy First Minister: It is envisaged that the planned activities of the Gender Advisory Panel after 2009 will continue to focus on implementing the 10-year Gender Equality Strategy, and preparing for the mid-term review of the strategy in 2011.

  • Smythe-Wood Series A
    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • 1) Why Was the Outbreak of Violence in Derry ~ Londonderry During The
    1) Why was the outbreak of violence in Derry ~ Londonderry during the Battle of the Bogside such a significant event for future violence in Northern Ireland that would be known as The Troubles The Battle of the Bogside was a result of the on-going levels of tension between the Nationalist community in Northern Ireland against the Unionist government and Policing in Northern Ireland at the time. After the events of August 1969 in which the planned NICRA March to Derry was deemed illegal, a counter demonstration by the Apprentice Boys of Derry was planned. Violence flared in the Nationalist Bogside area of Derry in which the security forces struggled to control the violence. Local residents and Nationalists felt that they were struggling to get their concerned addressed and that they faced continued discrimination from the government and the police in their response. 2) Why did the Nationalist Community welcome the arrival of the British Army in the beginning? The Nationalist Community welcomed the arrival of the British Army to Northern Ireland at the beginning as they were seen as protectors from the Loyalist agitators and a more fair form of law and order than they had been used to by the RUC. The British Army were sent into Northern Ireland to restore law and order as well as maintaining good relations with the Nationalist Community, 3) Why were the Unionist Community concerned about the arrival of the British Army to Northern Ireland? The Unionist Community and in particular those within the government and the security forces including the RUC and B-Specials felt that they were being undermined by the British Government and their decision to send the Army to Northern Ireland.
