Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Gilmour, Councillor Armstrong-Cotter and Councillor Cathcart This Council comends the wonderful work carried out by Midwives and calls upon the officers to bring back a report detailing how we can commemorate the centenary of The Midwives (Ireland) Act 1918, which turned Midwifery into a regulatory profession, possibly through a Commemorative Flower bed, and a historical display in North Down Museum. 16.3 Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Muir That this Council agrees that officers should collate and publish on the Council website in a simple and easy to understand manner member attendance statistics for Full Council and all Standing Committee meetings. Statistics to be updated on a quarterly basis with historical attendance information from 1 April 2015 included. 2 16.4. Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor T Smith & Councillor Cathcart This Council recognises the issue of marine pollution and the damage it is doing to the seas surround this island. We are committed to taking action to reduce the amount of litter in our waters and therefore I ask officers to bring a report which looks at the possibility of using Seabins around our coast to tackle the issue of pollution in our seas. 16.5 Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor T Smith & Councillor McIlveen This Council expresses its shock and disgust that NILGA’s official twitter account, an organisation which represents all local authorities in Northern Ireland, publicly endorsed Newry Armagh Sinn Fein’s tweet commemorating the death of Irish republican hunger strikers, further calls NILGA to fully apologise for its actions, which are extremely hurtful to the victims and survivors of the illegal campaign of terror carried out by these hunger strikers and their colleagues and which do not represent the views of this Council and suspends activity with and our membership of NILGA until such an apology is forthcoming. 16.6. Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor T Smith and Councillor Gilmour This Council supports the call by the British Deaf Association and others for the introduction of a Sign Language Act her in Northern Ireland to provide protection and support for our deaf community. We write to the Secretary of State to take action and to introduce the necessary legalisation. We as a Council will also ensure it continues to be more mindful of the needs of individuals and community groups who are deaf or hearing impaired in all service areas and will ensure signers or Sign Video is offered across a range of Council services to meet any identified need. As part of this commitment and with International Deaf Week beginning September 24th, this Council will have a signer for that month’s Council meeting to allow members of the deaf community from here in our borough the opportunity to be part of the decision making process of the Council. We will also organise a consultation event with deaf people who live locally so Councillors can hear from them directly as to their concerns, their ideas and their thoughts about the Borough and what more we can do as a Council to help them. 16.7. Rescinding Notice of Motion submitted by Alderman Fletcher, Councillors Woods, Muir, Boyle, Douglas, Robinson & Hunter That this Council rescinds the decision taken at the full Council meeting on the 28th of April 2018 to remove Ballymenoch Park, Holywood from the current grass cutting schedule. It therefore resorts back to the original proposal brought to Community and Wellbeing Committee on the 18th of April 2018 stating that Council ‘approves the initiatives to support the ongoing parks re-wilding projects to enhance and promote biodiversity across the Borough. 3 16.8.Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Woods and Councillor Menagh That this Council writes to the Department of Work and Pensions urging that a review takes place on how people with terminal illnesses are assessed for welfare under Personal Independence Payments, with the focus on the six month rule. 16.9. Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Andrew Muir That this Council acknowledged the positive contribution that diversity brings to our communities and accordingly affirms that all lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people living, working or visiting our Borough should be accepted and valued as equal citizens as part of a safe, welcoming and inclusive society. Council consequently requests that officers explore how we can positively fulfil this pledge including via suitable events. 16.10.Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor Stephen Cooper That this Council provides two portable toilets for the annual band competition held by Goldsprings Flute Band on Saturday 21 July 2018 ITEMS 17-20*** IN CONFIDENCE *** 17.Request for a Funfair at the McKee Clock Arena, Bangor (Report attached) 18.Tender for the Collection and Reprocessing of Paint from Household Recycling Centres 2018/2019 (Report attached) 19.

The Project title; ‘Terrorism knows NO Borders’ aptly illustrates the broader point that we are seeking to make through our involvement in this work, namely that in the context of Northern Ireland terrorism and criminal violence was not curtailed to Northern Ireland alone but rather that individuals, families and communities experienced its’ impacts across the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and beyond these islands. This Memorial Quilt Project does not claim to represent the totality of lives lost across Great Britain and The Republic of Ireland but rather seeks to provide some understanding of the sacrifices paid by communities, families and individuals who have been victimised by ‘Republican’ or ‘Loyalist’ terrorism. SEFF’s ethos means that we are not purely concerned with victims/survivors who live within south Fermanagh or indeed the broader County.

  • The Omagh Bombing - a Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter Bsc (Hons), MB, Chb, RAMC RMO
    J R Army Med Corps 2000; 146: 18-21 J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-146-01-04 on 1 February 2000. Downloaded from The Omagh Bombing - A Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter BSc (Hons), MB, ChB, RAMC RMO 4 Royal Irish Regiment, BFPO 804 Dr GE Carter MB, ChB, DRCOG GP Trainee SUMMARY: The bomb in Omagh on the 15th August 1998 was responsible for the largest loss of life of any single terrorist incident in the whole of the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland. However, the medical response to this tragedy provided an excellent opportunity for the civilian and military agencies to work together. As a consequence of this a number of lessons were drawn which are presented in the paper. Whatever the outcome of the peace process these lessons will have an important role in the future, since history would suggest that there is little possibility of the terrorist threat ever completely receding. OMAGH COURT HOUSE LOCATION OF VBIED http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ Fig 1. Diagram showing location of Court House in relation to actual location of car bomb. (VBIED) The Good Friday Agreement heralded a new era for the small district general hospital - The Tyrone County. The people of Northern Ireland. It was with great belief in the Ulster Ballygawley Bus bombing in 1988 (8 dead) and the Teebane Referendum that they dared to look forward to peace. The massacre in 1992 (8 dead) had been the previous largest Canary Wharf, Thiepval Barracks and Manchester bombings atrocities in the area although there had also been many smaller which all occured during previous PIRA cease-fires provided shootings and bombings locally.

    Is a fence the best defence? A comparative case-study on the influence of the peace lines on the sense of place and identity of residents in West-Belfast Marlies Veerbeek Bachelorthesis GPE School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen July 2016 i Is a fence the best defence? A comparative case-study on the influence of the peace lines on the sense of place and identity of residents in West-Belfast Marlies Veerbeek s4222407 Supervised by Margiet Goos Human Geography, Planning and Environmental studies School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen July 2016 Total number of words: 28947 ii I. Preface I am proud to present my bachelor thesis on the influence of the peace lines on the sense of place and identity in West-Belfast. With this thesis, my bachelor Human Geography, Planning and Environmental studies at the Radboud University Nijmegen comes to an end. It was in this bachelor that I got to know Belfast from a human geographical perspective. Working on an assignment regarding Belfast triggered a fascination within me. This fascination was the reason why I decided to complete an in-depth case study research on this extraordinary city. Conducting the fieldwork in Belfast by myself was an amazing experience. Going to an unknown city by myself to interview people on a sensitive matter made me both excited and nervous. Luckily, all went well and I had a wonderful experience in Belfast. Getting to know a city from literature and then actually being in the research field has been most exciting. I would not have been able to finish this bachelor thesis by myself.
