(AQW 16734/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness (The First Minister and deputy First Minister): The information has been published on the OFMDFM website. Executive Information Service Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister when the review of the Executive Information Service began; and when it is expected to be completed. (AQW 18689/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The matter is being progressed. Welfare Reform Bill Mr McGimpsey asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister what representations they have made to the Minister for Social Development on behalf of victims to ensure that the Welfare Reform Bill does not disproportionately affect their entitlements. (AQO 3559/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: Following discussions between DSD and OFMDFM, we are pleased to confirm that there will be no change under Universal Credit to how payments made by the Victims and Survivors Service will be treated within the social security system. As is the current position, such payments will be disregarded as income for those in receipt of social security benefits; however, they will be considered as capital. This is exactly the same position as to how payments made by the Memorial Fund are currently treated. The statutory basis for this approach is contained within regulations 5 and 13 of The Social Security (Miscellaneous Amendments No.4) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.

Recipients were also informed of the transition arrangement of the Fund into the new Victims Service. The Fund issued separate letters to clients who had already applied for funding in the 2012/13 financial year and those who were still eligible to apply but had not yet submitted an application Victims and Survivors Service Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on funding allocations by the Victims and Survivors Service; and to list the successful applicants and the amounts awarded. (AQW 22730/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: This information is not yet available from the Victims and Survivors Service as processes are not yet complete. Unanswered Question: AQW 14210/11-15 Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister why AQW 14210/11-15 remains unanswered eight months after it was asked; and to provide the answer to the question. (AQW 23183/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: AQW 14210/11-15 was answered on 23 May 2013. Strategic Support Fund Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to list the organisations in each council area that were awarded funding from the Strategic Support Fund in (i) 2012/13; and (ii) 2013/14; and the amount that each organisation received.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • A Society in Transition: the Protestant Community in Tyrone 1836-42 Daragh Emmett Curran Thesis for the Degree of Ph.D Departmen
    A SOCIETY IN TRANSITION: THE PROTESTANT COMMUNITY IN TYRONE 1836-42 DARAGH EMMETT CURRAN THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PH.D DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: PROFESSOR RAYMOND GILLESPIE SEPTEMBER, 2010 A society in transition: The Protestant community of County Tyrone 1836-42. Daragh Emmett Curran This thesis deals with the transition that was taking place in Protestant society in the immediate pre-famine period in County Tyrone. It explores how this community, at all social levels, reacted to the changes that were occurring and which were considered detrimental to its position of dominance in society. These changes had the potential to dramatically affect the traditional paternalistic relationship that bound the lower classes to their social betters and this study examines how this relationship survived through economic recession, changes in law and order, increasing concessions being granted to Catholics, lessening government support for the Protestant Church, and the suppression of the dominant Protestant association of the time- the Orange Order. The Order played an integral part in the lives of many Protestants and was an organization that transcended the class divide. Because of this, it becomes the pivot around which this work revolves as the Order, with its wide-stretching network, helped maintain the patriarchal relationship that bound the classes together. It is also a useful tool through which to examine attitudes towards law and order within the Protestant community as changes within this area, especially within the magistracy, affected the upper classes, the very people that the lower classes looked to for guidance.

As a club, we are very fortunate to have so many loyal supporters who turn out in great numbers to support all our teams from u8 to senior. Our children groups from u8 to u12 participated in blitzes throughout the year with our u10 team winning the shield competition at Killyclogher in September. Our u12 team also won the shield competition in our annual Charles Henry Quinn Tournament in the same month. At youth level our u18 team reached the league final but fell to a strong Moortown team. However pride of place this year must go to our u16 juvenile team who won the Tyrone championship with a great team display against Loughmacrory in the replay at Dunmoyle on the 24th October. There were joyous scenes on the pitch after the game, with numerous family photographs taken which will be cherished for many years into the future.

  • 2012-08-05 Report on the Gathering at the Mass Rock
    ‘Communion with Christ and with one another’ - Parishes gather in thanksgiving. Ariel view of thegathering. At 4.00pm on Sunday August 5 th 2012, (the eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time), the parishes of Ardstraw East (Newtownstewart), Ardstraw West and Castlederg, Badoney Lower (Gortin and Rouskey), Cappagh (Killyclogher, Knockmoyle, Mountfield and Strathroy), Drumragh (Omagh), Greencastle and Langfield (Drumquin) gathered for a Mass of Thanksgiving and rededication to the journey of faith at the site of the Penal Mass rock in the townland of Formil (Greencastle, Co.Tyrone). Parishioners from these faith-communities first came together over three years ago to prepare themselves for the International Eucharist Congress that was held in Dublin last June (10 th – 17 th ). Sunday’s Eucharistic gathering was a fitting conclusion to their previous work and also a fitting place to rededicate themselves to their continuing faith journey in anticipation of Pope Benedict XVI’s invitation to celebrate a year of faith beginning in October 2012. The ‘Year of Faith’ coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council. More than three hundred people were present including parishioners from neighbouring parishes (Ballinascreen, Desertmartin, Termonmaguirc, Kildress, Cookstown) and from further away. This was the second time that Mass was celebrated at Formil Mass rock within living memory. The previous occasion took place at the invitation of the then parish priest Father Seamus Shields in spiritual preparation for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ireland. The stories as well as the folklore around that experience lives vividly in the minds and hearts of many Greencastle parishioners.
