(AQW 19706/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness (The First Minister and deputy First Minister): In 2011 OFMDFM advertised an open call for research linked to the Department’s Policy interests. This call resulted in a number of research projects being funded including: ■ Early Intervention Services and Children, by RSM McClure Waters; ■ Childcare sector and parental survey, by RSM McClure Waters; ■ Childminding research exploring issues of practice and quality within child minding and the impact of the grouping of children of different ages within childcare, by the National Childrens’ Bureau; The project on ‘Making better use of the schools estate to support childcare access and affordability, by RSM McClure Waters’, while proposed under the open call was not agreed for funding by the Childcare Research Steering Group. This was primarily because the Department of Education had been engaged in work assessing the use of the schools estate and it was considered there could be duplication of effort. In 2012 it became necessary to commission some additional research to address specific policy concerns. In total 9 such grants were awarded. In particular Government targets to eradicate child poverty by 2020, difficulties with this in the current economic climate and new innovation in terms of Results Based Accountability and Outcomes Based Analysis resulted in a research grant being awarded to National Childrens’ Bureau to develop Child Poverty Outcome Models, by the National Childrens’ Bureau and C4EO. As a research grant, this was not subject to procurement procedures. In terms of procedures in place to ensure that research projects are open, transparent and relevant, all research projects are project managed by NISRA statisticians. Each research project also has an advisory group to draw from expertise in each area which stretches beyond the policy arena to academia both local and international. An overall programme board manages the complete set of projects. WA 57 Friday 26 April 2013 Written Answers Employment of Teachers and Staff Mr Lunn asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they have had any discussions with the Education Minister regarding the apparent contradiction between Clause 10(c) of the Heads of Agreement and Clause 3(1) of the Education Bill, in relation to the employment of teachers and staff. (AQO 3406/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: There is no contradiction. The Education Bill gives effect to both of the key requirements on employment matters within the Heads of Agreement. Firstly, it will establish the Education and Skills Authority (ESA) as the employer of all staff in all grant-aided schools. Secondly, it provides for the delegation of employment functions to schools. This will ensure that boards of governors can take all of the employment decisions within their schools if they wish.

  • The World War One Rolls of Honour in Ballynure Presbyterian Church
    2nd Edition: revised Lest we forget ... The World War One Rolls of Honour in Ballynure Presbyterian Church and Ballynure Methodist Church Richard T Wallace Ballynure and District Friendship Club is very grateful for the financial contribution provided by Newtownabbey Borough Council towards the publishing of the first edition of this book. 2 Dedicated to my grandfather Sgt Richard Henry Thompson (17022) 10th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles who was wounded at the Battle of the Somme and returned home to lead a full and active life. If you wish to purchase this book or make any corrections/additions, please contact Richard Wallace directly [email protected] 3 4 Foreword The 1914-1918 War has always held a fascination for me. I suppose this was derived partly from the number of uncles and other relations who had fought in some of the most notorious battles, and had lived to tell the tale. I am honoured to be asked to write the foreword for this book by Richard Wallace, a much respected friend of mine. Richard's inspiration, he tells me, was conceived from the two plaques on the walls of Ballynure Presbyterian Church, and also from his visits to the battlefields of France and Belgium, especially the Tyne Cot Cemetery just outside Ypres. This is the largest British and Commonwealth graveyard in the world, with some 54,389 officers and men buried there, no known grave having been found. Each evening, a section of the fire brigade from Ypres, march to the Menin Gate, a huge and imposing edifice, sound the ‘Last Post’ and return to their station.
