This is especially the case in the city of Derry/Londonderry, where media reported on a car bomb on 19 January 2019, its explosion almost killing five passer-by’s. Only three months later, during Easter, the death of young journalist Lyra McKee shocked the world. International media link these stories to one event that has attracted the eyes of the world: Brexit, and the looming hard border between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Data sets from various government departments and public bodies in Northern Ireland have been used and, in order to provide a wider context, comparisons are made which draw upon figures produced by government departments and public bodies in England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Using this variety of sources means there is no standard model that applies across the different departments and jurisdictions. Many organisations have also changed the way in which they collect their data over the years, which means that in some cases it has not been possible to provide historical perspective on a consistent basis. For some indicators, only survey-based data is available. When interpreting statistics from survey data, such as the Labour Force Survey, it is worth bearing in mind that they are estimates associated with confidence intervals (ranges in which the true value is likely to lie). In other cases where official figures may not present the full picture, survey data is included because it may provide a more accurate estimate – thus, for example, findings from the Northern Ireland Crime Survey are included along with the official crime statistics from the PSNI. The production of the report has been greatly assisted by the willing cooperation of many statisticians and public servants, particularly those from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, the PSNI and the various government departments.

  • County Flags Have Been an Exciting New Development in British
    ICV23 YOKOHAMA COUNTY FLAGS – DEVELOPMENTS IN BRITISH VEXILLOLOGY Graham Bartram FFI FIAV Secretary-General for Congresses This paper discusses an exciting new development in British vexillology: county flags. Over the last few years we’ve seen more and more British counties adopt these “people’s flags”. Nearly all British county councils have flags, in the form of a banner of their coat-of-arms, but these are solely for use by the Council itself and technically may not be used by private citizens of the county. Surrey County Council Cambridgeshire County Council Graham Bartram’s Talk Page 1 of 28 1. County Council Flags IDENTITY The new county flags are a reflection of the people’s identity. Identity is a complex issue. I think of identity as a series of layers, none of which are mutually exclusive, and which vary over time and due to circumstance. I personally have an identity as a Bartram (my family), a Graham (my clan), a Macneil (my mother’s clan), a Hillsider (my home village), Montrosian (my home town), an Angus man (my home county), a Mearns man (my home area), a North-easterner, (my home region), a Scot, a Briton, a European and a citizen of the world. That’s a dozen different identities without going into my ancestry further than my parents! Many of these identities have flags and symbols that go with them. Montrose has a flag, as do Scotland, Britain and Europe; and each of these flags means something to me. Graham Bartram’s Talk Page 2 of 28 2.
