  • LGBTQ Election 2015 Update1
    LGBTQ EQUALITY & Northern Ireland’s Political Parties An independent survey General Election 2015 UPDATED VERSION (1) In April 2015 I emailed all the political parties in Northern Ireland that have candidates standing the the 2015 General Election. I enclosed a list of questions about their policies and active records on important lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and queer issues. The following pages contain the original information and questions sent to the parties, along with their replies and some additonal facts about each party’s record on LGBTQ rights. All replies are printed exactly as received, except where editied (with due respect and care for key facts) to keep them roughly around the requested 150 word limit. Parties are listed in the order their answers were returned. Where parties have not responded, I have researched their available policies, manifestos and records online and compiled some information. While most of us who identfy as LGBT or Q are unlikely to vote based on a party’s LGBTQ policies alone, it does help to know what each party thinks of some of the issues that effect our lives. And, more importantly, what they have already done and what they plan to do to tackle some of the serious problems caused by homophobia and transphobia; invisibility; institutionalised discrimination and exclusion. I hope that it will be updated and added to over time. This is an independent survey. It has no agenda other than to give each party an opportunity put on paper what they intend to do to help us build a more equal Northern Ireland in terms of sexual orientation and gender identity.

    Mark H Durkan MLA Minister of the Environment Goodwood House, 44 - 58 May Street, Town Parks, Belfast BT1 4NN Fearghal McKinney MLA Northern Ireland Assembly Parliament Buildings Ballymiscaw Stormont AQW 53915/11-16 Fearghal McKinney MLA has asked: To ask the Minister of the Environment (i) to detail the (a) matched; and (b) unmatched European Union funding his Department has sourced in each of the last ten years; and (ii) where this money was spent. ANSWER Over the last ten years, my Department successfully sourced additional funding from the main EU structural programmes; Interreg IIIA, Interreg IVA and the Building Sustainable Prosperity (BSP) scheme. The BSP and Interreg IIIA programmes are now closed and the Interreg IVA programme will close within the next few months, to be replaced by the new Interreg VA programme. Details of the funding relating to these programmes, matched and EU, over the financial years 2006/07 – 2015/16 (inclusive), have been placed in the assembly library. These EU funding programmes assisted in the delivery of a range of key environmental outcomes, mainly through waste and water related projects, and also contributed to the promotion and awareness on environmental issues in relation to school children, providing education and information to the next generation. Details of the projects for the Interreg IVA, Interreg IIIA and the BSP programmes have also been placed in the assembly library. The tables for both the Interreg IIIA and the BSP programmes provide details of the projects over the period 2000-2006 as both these schemes ended in 2006. However, there was some residual expenditure relating to both of these programmes over the following three financial years to 2008/09.
