The process which led to this section being passed into law by Westminster, although sought and lobbied for by some of our local MLAs, was deeply flawed, and has significant detrimental consequences for devolution, and for the people of Derry and Strabane District Council. It undermines our already limited sovereignty, and the rights of people here to decide our own laws. It rides roughshod over the Good Friday Agreement, an international treaty, and makes a mockery of the democratic process. And that this Council writes urgently to Secretary of State Julian Smith MP to indicate that this council opposes this legislation, calls for the legislation to be rescinded and demands that this issue be dealt with by the Assembly only. Councillor R Barr to Move: Derry City and Strabane District Council has a moral responsibility to protect public health and the local environment. Until there is more independent scientific consensus that 5G wireless radiation is harmless to humans and the environment, Derry City and Strabane District Council adopts the precautionary principle and will not endorse the roll out of 5G. Councillors Ferguson and McKinney to Move: That this Council encourages and supports reconciliation in our community and congratulates the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education and the Integrated Educations Fund on being nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize. Councillor Dobbins to Move: That this Council expresses concern at the recent RQIA findings in the standard of care at Owen Mor Nursing Home.

This Council will support the introduction of soft opt-out organ donation legislation here in the North which will follow the example led by the introduction of the same legislation in Wales (2015), Scotland and England (2020) and the calls from the Minister of Health in the South of Ireland, Simon Harris TD, for the same to be introduced there. Councillor Duffy to Move: Roimh an chéad chruinniú eile den Chomhairle Eorpach ar an 17ú Deireadh Fómhair, an cruinniú mullaigh deiridh AE atá beartaithe roimh Brexit, d’fhonn aird a tharraingt ar an chontúirt do chearta saoránach, don eacnam uile-oileáin agus d’earnáil na talmhaíochta, i measc rudaí eile, iarrann muid ar Chomhairle Chathair Dhoire agus Cheantar an tSratha Báin árais na Comhairle a shoilsiú i mBuí agus Dubh ar an 16ú Deireadh Fómhair chun tacú le Pobail Teorann in aghaidh Brexit. In advance of the next European Council meeting on October 17th, the last EU summit planned before Brexit, in an effort to highlight the dangers posed to citizen’s rights, the all island economy, the agricultural sector among others, we call on Derry City and Strabane District Council to light up Council buildings in yellow and black on October 16th in support of Border Communities Against Brexit. Councillor Harkin to Move: Council supports real living wages, an end to zero hour contracts and the right to trade union representation in Derry and Strabane. Council opposes Tory anti-trade union laws and encourages workers to join unions to demand respect and better terms and conditions. Council celebrates the contribution workers’ rights campaigns have made to improve people’s lives past and present at work and in communities - and acknowledges the tremendous contribution and efforts made by campaigners from all backgrounds and communities across Derry and Strabane today in the pursuit of justice, equality and respect. To this end, Council will host a ‘Workers Rights and Social Justice Week’ - the week preceding the May Day march and rally. Councillor Durkan to Move: This Council notes the contents of the Employers for Childcare NI’s 10th Annual Childcare Survey. This Council recognises that childcare costs are creating barriers for working parents and their families. This Council supports the Childcare for All Charter, calling for a universal, child- centred childcare system to meet the needs of children, parents, childcare providers and communities. This Council calls for any restored Executive to prioritise legalisation for an affordable, accessible and high quality childcare system in its Programme for Government. This Council resolves to write to political party leaders calling for support for 30 hours basic free childcare for working parents.

Socraíonn an Chomhairle seo ar scríobh chuig ceannairí na bpáirtithe polaitiúla chun tacaíocht ar son bhunchúraim leanaí 30 uair saor in aisce a chur ar fáil do thuismitheoirí a bhíonn ag obair. Councillor J Barr to Move: This Council notes the huge contribution made to life in Strabane by Pat Gillespie, who died in August at the age of 102. This Council will agree that there will be no Grand Marshall at the 2020 St Patrick celebrations in Strabane in respect and honour of Pat Gillespie. This Council also agrees that the main stage for entertainment on St Patrick’s Day will be named the Pat Gillespie Stage. Councillor McCann to Move: Council supports the Day of Action on October 5th 2019 calling for an end to welfare reforms, the extension of benefit mitigation payments and the reversal of cuts to public services. Council encourages people in Derry and Strabane from all backgrounds and communities to organise a people power movement to win these demands. Council encourages the broadest support for and participation at the 3pm rally in Guildhall Square organised and supported by Derry Trades Union Council, Action Against Cuts, UNISON Community Branch, AEGIS, the Civil Rights for the 21st Century Committee, Alliance for Choice, Derry and Strabane Councillors and anti- poverty groups and campaigners. Alderman Guy to Move: That this Council notes recently published research from the charity CARE NI that found 445 attacks have been recorded on places of worship in Northern Ireland in just the last 3 years; notes with concern that 23 of these despicable attacks were recorded in the Derry City & Strabane District Council policing area; unreservedly condemns all attacks on places of worship, no matter what faith or denomination, and upholds the important human right for individuals to be free to worship and live out their faith in this society. This Council also notes the operation of the Places of Worship Security Scheme in England and Wales and expresses regret that a similar scheme is not available in Northern Ireland; and therefore agrees to write to the Department for Communities and the Northern Ireland Office calling for the swift introduction of a similar scheme locally. Councillor Harkin to Move: Council opposes a Tory no deal Brexit. Council opposes any attempt to impose a hard border in Ireland. Council supports in full the call put forward by the Derry Trades Union Council in March 2019: “As trade unionists we are opposed to any attempt to re-impose a hard border. This would represent a tremendous step backwards.

Key Findings The relatively small size of Investing in the Irish Electricity Market, ESB dominance and uncertainty over future trading arrangements serve to reduce the attractiveness of the Irish market from both an investor’s and fi n a n c i e r ’ s point of view. Despite these issues, a number of parties remain interested in developing electricity generation and supply businesses in Ireland. The key difficulty facing those considering investing is the absence of a party to offer long-term offtake contracts to generators, which would enable the generators to obtain non recourse financing. It is likely that, in order to facilitate investment by a new generator, the current bilateral contracts based trading arrangements will have to be modified, in conjunction with the opportunity for IPPs to sell to ESB PES post 20 0 5 .

  • Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper the Plantation
    Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper The Plantation of Ulster and the creation of the county of Londonderry On the 28th January 1610 articles of agreement were signed between the City of London and James I, king of England and Scotland, for the colonisation of an area in the province of Ulster which was to become the county of Londonderry. This agreement modified the original plan for the Plantation of Ulster which had been drawn up in 1609. The area now to be allocated to the City of London included the then county of Coleraine,1 the barony of Loughinsholin in the then county of Tyrone, the existing town at Derry2 with adjacent land in county Donegal, and a portion of land on the county Antrim side of the Bann surrounding the existing town at Coleraine. The Londoners did not receive their formal grant from the Crown until 1613 when the new county was given the name Londonderry and the historic site at Derry was also renamed Londonderry – a name that is still causing controversy today.3 The baronies within the new county were: 1. Tirkeeran, an area to the east of the Foyle river which included the Faughan valley. 2. Keenaght, an area which included the valley of the river Roe and the lowlands at its mouth along Lough Foyle, including Magilligan. 3. Coleraine, an area which included the western side of the lower Bann valley as far west as Dunboe and Ringsend and stretching southwards from the north coast through Macosquin, Aghadowey, and Garvagh to near Kilrea. 4. Loughinsholin, formerly an area in county Tyrone, situated between the Sperrin mountains in the west and the river Bann and Lough Neagh on the east, and stretching southwards from around Kilrea through Maghera, Magherafelt and Moneymore to the river Ballinderry.
