(AQW 33874/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness (The First Minister and deputy First Minister): For the past five years, including this financial year, the Minority Ethnic Development Fund has been set at £1.1m per annum. The Racial Equality Unit also provides day to day assistance and guidance to individuals and groups in respect of their funding awards. Main Street, Markethill Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister what propriety interest their Department has in the premises at Main Street, Markethill, formerly occupied by SAVER/NAVER. (AQW 33908/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The Department has a charge over the premises at Main Street, Markethill along with two other funders (Rural Development Council and International Fund for Ireland). A pari passu agreement is in place between the funders. Social Investment Fund: Area Plans Mr P Ramsey asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline any changes that have been made to the Area Plans of the Social Investment Fund. (AQO 6286/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: Following our decision on the allocation of the Fund across the nine Zones, the Steering Groups were given the opportunity to revise the priority ranking of projects submitted within the Area Plans. As a result, a number of projects were reprioritised within the Belfast South, Western, Southern and Belfast East area plans by the Steering Groups. This took account of progress since submission of the plans and the current needs of the local communities, as well as to maximise the impact of available funding. Active Aging Strategy Mr Storey asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the Active Ageing Strategy 2014-20. (AQO 6280/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The purpose of the Active Ageing Strategy is to transform attitudes to and services for older people. It is important that we fully acknowledge the enormous WA 205 Friday 27 June 2014 Written Answers contribution that older people make to our society and that we challenge the negative stereotyping of older people. The Strategy will provide direction for departments’ policies, make connections between Strategies and lead to the improvement of services for older people. It will increase the understanding of the issues affecting older people and promote an emphasis on rights, value and contribution, as opposed to needs, costs and burden. The public consultation on the Active Ageing Strategy ran from Friday 21 February and ended on Friday 23 May. Consultees were asked for their views on the draft Vision, Strategic Aims and signature programme proposals in the Strategy. Nine public consultation events were held and these included an intergenerational event at which younger and older people worked together to provide feedback on the Strategy. Over 300 people attended the events and approximately 140 online or written responses have been received. The consultation responses are currently being analysed and it is planned that following Ministerial and Executive approval the finalised Strategy will be launched in the autumn. The Strategy will be implemented under the Delivering Social Change initiative and the Ageing Strategy Advisory Group, chaired by Claire Keatinge the Commissioner for Older People, will play a key role in overseeing its delivery. St Patrick’s Barracks Mr Frew asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the progress made at the St Patrick’s Barracks site. (AQO 6281/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The St Patrick’s Barracks site occupies a significant

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.

    From Evidence to Opportunity: State

    From Evidence to Opportunity A Second Assessment of the State of Northern Ireland’s Environment 2013 Ministerial Foreword Our rich and varied natural environment and built heritage lie at the heart of our lives and are central to building a strong economy and sense of well-being. This second report on the State of the Environment in Northern Ireland brings together recent information on how our environment is performing across land, water, sea and air. The indicators and emerging trends show complex interactions between different parts of our environment and how our activities in one area can impact on another. In some areas, such as in water quality and recycling, we are making steady progress whilst in others, such as reversing the decline in our biodiversity, significant challenges remain. We recognise that there are shortfalls and gaps in our knowledge but the evidence highlights how we need to respond. A better understanding of the pressures we face will help us to make the right decisions in creating a healthy and prosperous society which is resilient to change. This report will make a valuable contribution to this process. The challenges identified in our first report on climate change, biodiversity and land use have been brought into even sharper focus as we adopt new approaches to stimulate growth following the global economic downturn. To address these challenges we need to recognise in all our decision-making the full value of the services our natural environment and built heritage provide in underpinning a healthy economy, prosperity and well-being. All of us have a role to play in shaping the environment we want for our future.

Canada [email protected] Abstract This article is a case study analysis of local manifestations of sectarianism and conflict in the Moyle District, a rural district in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. I argue that, with the exception of rural areas located along the border with the Republic of Ireland, rural areas are often depicted, in scholarly analyzes, as relatively unaffected by the political conflict. I offer some demographically-based data that support this assumption and, I draw on textual and visual analyzes of material and symbolic artefacts, including rituals, symbols and commemorations in the Moyle District, that demonstrate the presence of local sectarianism and conflict in Moyle.
