It formed part of the project Mapping fron- tiers, plotting pathways: routes to North-South cooperation in a divided island. The political background since the creation of the North/South Ministerial Council (NSMC) and the implementation bodies in 1999 has been far from stable. The current suspension of the NSMC has left the bodies operating in an environment different to that envisaged in the agreement. The bodies (Waterways Ireland, SafeFood, InterTrade Ireland, the Special EU Programmes Body, the Language Body and the Loughs Agency) have nevertheless continued to carry out their mandated public functions, aimed at bringing benefits to both parts of the island, as has Tourism Ireland, a similar body established in 2000. They have faced unique challenges of administrative complexity and political sensitivity. This conference sought to take stock of the functioning of the implementation bodies in this context. The opening address was given by the Taoiseach, with the NSMC se- cretariat and all of the implementation bodies contributing. Speakers were invited to address the following questions, among others: • the extent to which island-wide or cross-border activity was proceeding in the sec- tor prior to the establishment of the body • the issues that arose as the body was being established • the principal difficulties that the body has so far encountered in meeting its objec- tives • how the body assesses its own contribution to the issue it was designed to tackle. The final session drew presented a more political perspective, examining how the bodies may proceed in the context of long-term suspension of the devolved institu- tions that make up the cornerstone of the Good Friday Agreement. Introduction The conference began with a presentation in which An Taoiseach, Mr Bertie Ahern, TD, assessed the future prospects for North-South cooperation from the Irish government’s perspective. In this he emphasised the central role of the Good Friday Agreement as the continuing blueprint for future political developments. The North- South bodies established under its auspices, he said, have worked quietly but effi- ciently for the good of all, North and South. Both parts of the island contribute to the CONFERENCE REPORT MAY 2005 work of the bodies, and both parts gain from it. The work of the bodies is complemented by other initiatives in North-South cooperation. Indeed, long-term economic planning implies the need to consider the whole island for infrastructural planning and other purposes. The Taoiseach noted that there have been difficulties in the political process, but he took the view that the common ground achieved by parties as diverse as the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin was more remarkable than the set of issues that divides them, suggesting a potential for positive political development in the longer term. An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, TD, addressing the conference The Taoiseach’s presentation was followed by one from each of the joint secretaries of the North/South Ministerial Council. Tim O’Connor’s paper set out the background to the new North-South institutional architecture contained in the Belfast or Good Fri- day Agreement—the negotiations themselves and the outcome. Given that much of the detail remained to be further worked out after Good Friday, it recounted the talks held in the Autumn of 1998 and in early 1999, culminating in the Agreement be- tween the two governments establishing the implementation bodies, signed in Dublin Castle on 8 March 1999. The paper outlined the main elements of that agreement, in- cluding the nature of the functions and structure of each of the implementation bod- ies, together with the common arrangements that were to apply to all of them. The story introduced by Tim O’Connor was continued by his colleague, Peter Smyth. He pointed out that because of the sensitivities associated with North-South co-operation, the initial meetings of NSMC were important as much for symbolism as practical outcomes. But as the implementation bodies established themselves, and government departments engaged in the areas of co-operation, the possibilities of- fered by co-operation for mutual benefit became more apparent, and NSMC meetings assumed a different and much more meaningful character. The paper looked at the impact of the Northern Ireland Assembly’s suspension in 2002, and offered a brief overview of the wider dimensions of cross-border co-operation. The work of the North-South bodies The second and third sessions of the conference looked at the work of seven imple- mentation bodies established after the agreement, and at the work of another body, Tourism Ireland, that resembles them in function. Aidan Gough reminded the con- -2- CONFERENCE REPORT MAY 2005 ference that InterTradeIreland was the body established “to exchange information and co-ordinate work on trade, business development and related matters in areas where the two administrations specifically agree it would be in their mutual interest”. Total North-South trade, he said, amounts to £2.4bn. However, the trade figures do not capture—nor are they an accurate measure of—the mutual benefits that are to be reaped from closer links and business collaboration on this island. “Mutual benefits” in economic terms can best be captured through increased competitiveness. Peter Smyth and Tim O’Connor, Since 2001, InterTradeIreland has invested joint secretaries, North/South £12m in all-island collaborative initiatives Ministerial Council designed to enhance the competitiveness of participating businesses. In 2003 and 2004 alone, these initiatives have generated business value in the region of £26bn. Clearly, all-island collaboration is good for business. The work of the Special EU Programmes Body was described by its chief execu- tive, Pat Colgan. This body is the managing authority and paying authority for the PEACE programme and the INTERREG programme and has become a centre of ex- cellence for the governance and management of EU funded programmes on a cross- border basis. It is also responsible for the Common Chapter and for the cross border dimensions of other Community Initiatives. He pointed out that the work of the body has resulted in the creation of significant cross border cooperation capacity. Through the PEACE Programme, a total of 6,000 projects have been implemented by 56 im- plementing bodies, involving a total investment up to the end of 2006 of 868 mil- lion. Through the INTERREG programme, a total of 250 projects have been imple- mented by 22 cross border implementing bodies involving a total investment up to the end of 2006 of 182 million. The chief executive of the Loughs Agency, Derick Anderson, offered an overview of the agency’s work. This reviewed the opportunities and problems associated with the transition from an original cross border body, the Foyle Fisheries Commission, established in 1952, to the Loughs Agency of the Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission. Among the issues addressed was the extension of functions from the Foyle area to the Carlingford area and the addition of responsibilities for aquacul- ture, shellfisheries and marine tourism to the original role of fisheries conservation, protection and management. -3- CONFERENCE REPORT MAY 2005 Developments in Tourism Ireland, the body established under the framework of the Good Friday Agreement to market the island of Ireland overseas as a preferred tour- ism destination, were reviewed by Niall Gibbons.

He was educated at the Christian Brothers’ primary school in Sexton Street and in 1952 followed his father into the Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick and Stonelayers’ Trade Union to commence his five-year apprenticeship. When his father died of tuberculosis in 1955, the responsibility of providing for the family fell onto Kemmy’s shoulders. Having qualified as a stonemason in 1957, he emigrated to England in the hope of a better income. The different social conditions and the freedom of thought and expression he encountered there challenged and changed his traditional Catholic values and opened his eyes to the issues of social injustice and inequality, which he was to stand up against for the rest of his life. In 1960, encouraged by the building boom, Kemmy returned to Ireland and found work on construction sites at Shannon. He also became involved in the Brick and Stonelayers’ Trade Union, and was elected Branch Secretary in 1962. A year later, he joined the Labour Party. Kemmy harboured no electoral ambitions during his early years in politics.

  • Revisionism: the Provisional Republican Movement
    Journal of Politics and Law March, 2008 Revisionism: The Provisional Republican Movement Robert Perry Phd (Queens University Belfast) MA, MSSc 11 Caractacus Cottage View, Watford, UK Tel: +44 01923350994 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article explores the developments within the Provisional Republican Movement (IRA and Sinn Fein), its politicization in the 1980s, and the Sinn Fein strategy of recent years. It discusses the Provisionals’ ending of the use of political violence and the movement’s drift or determined policy towards entering the political mainstream, the acceptance of democratic norms. The sustained focus of my article is consideration of the revision of core Provisional principles. It analyses the reasons for this revisionism and it considers the reaction to and consequences of this revisionism. Keywords: Physical Force Tradition, Armed Stuggle, Republican Movement, Sinn Fein, Abstentionism, Constitutional Nationalism, Consent Principle 1. Introduction The origins of Irish republicanism reside in the United Irishman Rising of 1798 which aimed to create a democratic society which would unite Irishmen of all creeds. The physical force tradition seeks legitimacy by trying to trace its origin to the 1798 Rebellion and the insurrections which followed in 1803, 1848, 1867 and 1916. Sinn Féin (We Ourselves) is strongly republican and has links to the IRA. The original Sinn Féin was formed by Arthur Griffith in 1905 and was an umbrella name for nationalists who sought complete separation from Britain, as opposed to Home Rule. The current Sinn Féin party evolved from a split in the republican movement in Ireland in the early 1970s. Gerry Adams has been party leader since 1983, and led Sinn Féin in mutli-party peace talks which resulted in the signing of the 1998 Belfast Agreement.

    NORTHERN IRELAND: A REPORT TO THE ASSOCIATION OF THE BAR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK FROM A MISSION OF THE COMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS1 By Gerald P. Conroy, Fiona Doherty, Sam Scott Miller, Marny Requa, Barbara Paul Robinson and Sidney H. Stein I. INTRODUCTION A. Background The Committee on International Human Rights of The Association of the Bar of the City of New York (“ABCNY”) has been periodically monitoring adherence to international human rights standards in Northern Ireland for the past 17 years. As part of this work, the Committee sponsored missions to Northern Ireland in 1987 and 1998 to examine issues surrounding the administration of justice.2 We covered the criminal justice system, the use of emergency laws and, in the 1998 mission, the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. The Committee undertook a third mission in May 2003 to continue our dialogue with practitioners and officials in Northern Ireland regarding ongoing efforts to reform the criminal justice system. The mission examined issues pertaining to the Justice (Northern Ireland) Act 2002 (“Justice Act 2002”); the transformation of the public prosecution service; new procedures for judicial appointments; human rights training; compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights; the intimidation of defense 1 The members of the mission, which was chaired by Sam Scott Miller, partner in the law firm of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, were Judge Sidney H.

I had turned in a project proposal to Aeveen, in fact, over the past week I had turned in several proposals to her, but I was still not satisfied. I knew that I wanted to focus on the economy, preferably the social economy of Belfast; however I had no idea which angle I wanted to pursue. Economic regeneration and social development has always fascinated me. Is economic regeneration and development a worthwhile tactic to pursue in a peace process? Will the reduction of unemployment and a growth in education performance lessen identity and religious tensions? Is dealing first with community development and second with community relations an effective way to go about conflict transformation? When I visited Northern Ireland the first time, the election campaign was on everyone’s minds. As we drove into South Armagh the first thing that really struck me about the election posters were the numerous references to water charges.

  • Conflict Transformation, Cultural Innovation, and Loyalist Identity In
    Chapter 5 Conflict Transformation, Cultural Innovation, and Loyalist Identity in Northern Ireland Lee A. Smithey Walking through the streets of loyalist1 working-class East Belfast or the Shankill Road, one encounters political and cultural expressions rang- ing from hastily daubed slogans and acronyms of paramilitary organiza- tions to flags, banners, and elaborate wall murals. The murals celebrate historic victories and crises in loyalist mythology, commemorate fallen comrades and neighbors, and valorize paramilitary organizations and local bands. They have become hallmarks of Northern Ireland’s Trou- bles, and in recent years have become the subject of a growing tourism industry. Scholars have noted the functions murals serve in expressing communal identity and ideology, marking territory, and delivering state- ments beyond the locale in which the murals reside (Jarman 2005; Rols- ton 1991). I will focus on the role murals and other cultural expressions play in expressing and shaping communal identity and communicating beyond the community, and I argue that they constitute mediums through which communities and their leaders can experiment with a community’s symbolic landscape and shift the focus of their collective identity from defensiveness and exclusivity to one that is more inclusive and empowering. Walking through East Belfast, one now comes across murals featuring local historical and cultural topics such as the building of the passenger Copyright © 2012. University of Pennsylvania Press.

The redesign of paramilitary murals and modification of other traditional forms of cultural expression reflect shifts in historical perspective, offer alternative cultural expressions and a means of pursuing collective griev- ances, and generally shift the tone of loyalism, even if only relative to 3441595.

The Good Friday/Belfast Agreement and the Memory of the Civil Rights Movement Sarah Campbell Newcastle University, GB [email protected] While 2018 marks the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) in Northern Ireland, it also marks the fiftieth anniversary of the civil rights movement and the protests of 1968. One of the key innovations of the Agreement is that it makes issues of rights central to the broader consociational framework, with the entirety of section 6 devoted to ‘Rights, Safeguards and Equality of opportunity.’ This reinforces a perception that the GFA is a culmination of the civil rights movement and its aims; and that the conflict itself was based on issues of rights.

  • 3B'lay Y988 PS/Secretary of State (L&B) - B L
    CONFIDENTIAL AND PERSONAL ~~ PAB/3927/DP / ~)S PAB (88) 6 ... 3B'lAY Y988 PS/Secretary of State (L&B) - B L I attach the latest political analysis by PAB of developments in Northern Ireland since the middle of April. This period was most notable for the continuing controversy over the SDLP/Sinn Fein talks and the speech by Peter Robinson in which he alluded to the calling of a "Unionist Convention" if the current talks between unionist leaders and the Secretary of State do not lead to some movement. The Unionists 2. In a speech delivered to DUP members at Glengormley, on the outskirts of Belfast, Peter Robinson made reference to the possibility of "life without the Union". While stating his personal preference for a Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom, Robinson said there was a possibility that another course might have to be considered, "Whilst desiring and hoping that ... the Government might take up the unionist proposals for an alternative, and work out a satisfactory basis for membership within the UK, we should prepare and condition ourselves for the other outcome". He alleged that there was an attempt to "estrange" the Ulster people from their fellow citizens in the United Kingdom and described unionists as "the most wronged community in the world". He referred to the Hume/Adams talks as a bid to obstruct the opportunities for negotiation with unionists. 3. Robinson had been perceived as adopting a more conciliatory stance recently and this speech is being seen as reflecting unionist concerns over a number of political points. There is a growing impatience with HMG at the delay in responding to the proposals tabled earlier in the year by the two party leaders.
