  • Democratic Audit: Northern Ireland and the Withdrawal Agreement Page 1 of 3
    Democratic Audit: Northern Ireland and the Withdrawal Agreement Page 1 of 3 Northern Ireland and the Withdrawal Agreement Boris Johnson’s proposed withdrawal agreement with the EU, which Parliament is due to vote on today, establishes different customs arrangements for Northern Ireland than for Great Britain, to avoid a hard border with the Republic of Ireland. Sean Swan explains how having differential arrangements for Northern Ireland and Great Britain is not novel, and is a reflection of long-existing realities in Northern Ireland’s governance. For them to have democratic legitimacy, though, the Northern Ireland Assembly needs to be reconvened. Harland & Wolff cranes, Belfast (May 2019). Picture: Albert Bridge, via geograph.ie/(CC BY-SA 2.0) licence Certain realities have now forced their logic on to the Brexit negotiations. And Boris Johnson has seen the light. Perhaps he was struck by divine revelation; perhaps he was convinced by the realities of the situation. Whatever the cause, Johnson has become reconciled to Northern Ireland having a different customs regime from Great Britain as the only way to avoid a ‘hard’ Irish border. And avoiding a hard border is the only way to get a Brexit deal. The DUP, despite their strong pro-Brexit stance, are not happy with the proposed ‘customs border in the Irish Sea’, but it appears that most Conservative Brexiteer members of the ERG will be able to live with it. Nobody should be surprised that when it came down to a hard choice, the ERG would prioritise Brexit over Belfast. Brexit is an English thing. But voices are now being raised asserting that this constitutes some sort of unforgivable and unprecedented infringement of the integrity of the UK.

  • Briefing Paper: Climate Legislation in Northern Ireland and Cross-Border Cooperation
    Briefing Paper: Climate Legislation in Northern Ireland and Cross-Border Cooperation Jean-Christophe Chang and Anna Puchot August 2021 Climate legislation in Northern Ireland 1 Introduction In summer 2019, the United Kingdom government sets an ambitious target of 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared to 1990, overturning the target set by the Climate Change Act 2008.1 This was a result of the claim widely shared by public bodies, scientists and civil society that significant measures must be taken in response to global warming. Nevertheless, if the UK government and Parliament are supported and advised by an independent body such as the Climate Change Committee (CCC), what about devolved governments, especially when it comes to Northern Ireland? The latter recently saw the launch by a Member of the Legislative Assembly of proposed legislation that includes provision for an independent body overseeing climate change concerns. This was followed by the introduction of another climate change bill by Northern Ireland’s Agriculture and Environment Minister. Importantly, Northern Ireland’s geographical location offers a seemingly favourable context concerning cooperation on environmental management with the Republic of Ireland (RoI). However, while both governments are placing the challenges of protecting biodiversity and fighting against climate change in their respective governmental programmes, this Briefing Paper questions the extent to which such cooperation between the two jurisdictions is encouraged by the proposed legislation. Recent developments The ‘New Decade, New Approach’ agreement (NDNA) of January 2020 engaged the restored Northern Ireland Executive to bring forward a Climate Change Act to give environmental targets a strong legal underpinning.

    c/o FPA 23-28 Penn Street Hackney London N1 5DL [email protected] The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP Department of Health Richmond House 79 Whitehall Westminster London SW1A 2NS 27th June 2017 Dear Secretary of State, NHS England funding for women from Northern Ireland seeking abortion services This year marks 50 years since the passing of the 1967 Abortion Act. Although this landmark legislation granted reproductive rights to women in Great Britain, it also marks 50 years of differential treatment for women in Northern Ireland. As you will know, on 14th June 2017, the Supreme Court narrowly decided to dismiss an appeal that challenged your Department’s policy not to fund abortion services in England for women who are normally resident in Northern Ireland. The court was divided 3-2 against the appeal; while expressing their sympathy for women in Northern Ireland, they stated that they are restrained by your argument that the decision is out of “respect”’ for the democratic decisions of the Northern Ireland Assembly. As MPs, peers and MLAs, we are dedicated to campaigning for a change to this unfair and discriminatory law. However, while our advocacy in this area continues, we would like to highlight the Court’s ruling which states that, as Secretary of State, you hold the legal authority to change your policy on funding abortion services in England for women normally resident in Northern Ireland. We urge you to use this authority and reduce the significant financial burden women travelling from Northern Ireland face. The situation for women normally resident in Northern Ireland The Supreme Court case was brought by a young woman, A, who in 2012 as a pregnant 15-year-old girl travelled with her mother, B, from their home in Northern Ireland to Manchester for an abortion at a cost of £900.
