Freedom of Information Team Northern Ireland Office Stormont House Stormont Estate BT4 3SH T: 02890765431 E: [email protected] www.gov.uk John Kelly [email protected] Freedom of Information Request Dear Mr Kelly, Our Reference: 16/118 Thank you for your email dated 04 October providing clarification of your request for information dated 03 October 2016, in which you requested information from the Northern Ireland Office (NIO): Can you please provide me with any documents/emails/meeting minutes and other forms of information that the Home Office holds that mentions how the status of Irish citizens living & working in the UK may change after Brexit actually takes place. Your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). However, because the cost of complying with your request would exceed the limit set by the Freedom of Information Act, on this occasion we are afraid that we will not be taking your request further. The law allows us to decline to answer FOI requests when we estimate it would cost us more than £600 (equivalent to 3½ working days’ worth of work, calculated at £25 per hour) to identify, locate, extract, and then provide the information that has been asked for. You can find out more about Section 12(1) by reading the extract from the Act and some guidance points we consider when applying this exemption, attached at the end of this letter.

Consider This…
Consider this… Research reflections for the 2016-2021 mandate Editors: Caroline Perry and Tony Marken Graphics: Aidan Stennett Maps : Anne Campbell Foreword Northern Ireland Assembly Research and Information Service John Power Head of Research and Information Service (RaISe) Foreword To all returning and new Members In Consider This, the Assembly’s Research and Information Service (RaISe) has set out a wide range of issues arising from the last Assembly mandate which I hope will be of interest to both returning and newly elected Members. It does not intend to cover all outstanding matters or set your agenda. It aims instead at engaging you with RaISe, which is an important resource available to you and your staff to support the work that you do in the Assembly and in your constituency. RaISe employs subject specialists and library professionals to provide you with research and information support across the range of Assembly and constituency activities. RaISe can provide information and analysis to help you and your staff deal with constituency matters; prepare for plenary or media debates; scrutinise the work of ministers and departments; consider legislation as it makes its way through the Assembly, or assist in bringing forward your own legislation in a Private Member’s Bill. Whatever your reason for contacting RaISe, we will provide you with a timely, confidential and evidence-based response. Members are invited to participate in RaISe’s Knowledge Exchange Seminar Series (KESS) where academics highlight their latest research findings important to Northern Ireland and the Programme for Government. Details of KESS are published on the Assembly’s website. -

It’s equally elegant, albeit smaller scale façade gives way to a glam interior boasting glistening chandeliers and quirky cafe twists on art classics - think George Washington gazing through a glazed doughnut or Constable's The Haywain hauling a French Fancy Food runs from stylish breakfasts to hot and cold lunches and a BYOB bistro on Fri and Sat. -
Laneside, Then Left a Bit? Britain's Secret Political Talks with Loyalist
Dr Tony Craig October 2012 [email protected] Laneside, then left a bit? Britain’s secret political talks with Loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland, 1973-76. Abstract This article examines talks that took place between British government officials and loyalist paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland at a critical moment in the most recent Troubles. In particular, this article describes talks that took place secretly at the Northern Ireland Office’s ‘Laneside’ building, a secluded suburban house used by British diplomats and MI6 officers on the shores of Belfast Lough between 1971 and 1976. Drawing on both recently released archive material as well as interviews with those who worked at and visited Laneside, this article explores what went on at these talks and analyses their outcomes from three different perspectives. This article demonstrates that the most accurate perspective from which to view what occurred in these meetings is neither top-down (government led), nor bottom-up (paramilitary led), but one that looks at what went on there as part of a conversation which both sets of participants for a time found useful. For the Loyalists, Laneside had a role as a venue to think about strategy (rather than negotiate ends). For the British these were conversations that were useful in furnishing their understanding of loyalism, and as a place where policies could be explained and problems better understood. Looking at what occurred at Laneside as a semi-autonomous governmental body in Northern Ireland reveals key insights into both the loyalist paramilitaries’ political ideas as well as the aims of British policy in Northern Ireland. -
