(AQW 21708/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness (The First Minister and deputy First Minister): The Strategic Investment Board (SIB) supports the public sector in meeting targets set by the Programme for Government (PfG). SIB currently supports the Department of Education actions on its PfG target for the implementation of the Education and Skills Authority through the provision of expertise in change management, estates planning, operational services and recruitment. Six Signature Delivering Social Change Projects Mr Nesbitt asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister how many (i) recently graduated teachers; and (ii) health workers, have been engaged by the six signature Delivering Social Change projects that were announced in October 2012. (AQW 21741/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: Under the ‘Improving Literacy and Numeracy’ Signature Programme, which is being led by the Department of Education, two hundred and thirty recently graduated teachers will be appointed prior to the beginning of the 2013/14 academic year. It is envisaged that the recruitment exercise will run during May and June 2013. A Strategic Oversight Group has been established and has undertaken work to develop a proposed recruitment scheme and ensure it is practical and compatible with legal requirements. The programme will ensure extra support for children in primary schools to achieve the expected levels in reading and maths at Key Stage 2. It will also provide tuition to pupils in post-primary schools who are not predicted to get at least a ‘C’ grade in GCSE English and/or maths. The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety has lead responsibility for two of the Delivering Social Change signature projects, the provision of 10 additional Family Support Hubs and Support for Parents. The Family Support Hubs are being delivered by the Health and Social Care Board and Support for Parents projects by the Public Health Agency. The two signature projects will enable the commissioning of additional early intervention support for families and parents experiencing difficulties. Family Support Hubs are intended to be coalitions of community and voluntary organisations and agencies which provide early intervention services for children and young people locally in order to enhance awareness, accessibility, co-ordination and provision of family support resources in local areas. WA 227 Friday 3 May 2013 Written Answers Family support needs may vary across localities and on that basis the work undertaken by the Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership and its Locality Planning Groups, is vital. Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry Mr McDevitt asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister when they will announce the result of the tender for services for victims and survivors as part of the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry; and when these services will be operational. (AQW 21763/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: We refer the Member to our answer to AQW 17178/11-15 issued 27 March 2013. Work is ongoing on the recent tender for a broader service for victims and survivors. The results will be made public once a decision has been reached. Strategic Investment Board Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister how much the Strategic Investment Board spent on consultants in each year since 2007; and what arrangements are in place for Ministerial

  • The Registry Books Are Approximately
    THETHE REGISTRYREGISTRY BOOKSBOOKS Page 2 Clifton Street Cemetery One of the most historically interesting facets of any burying ground are, without doubt, its registry books. Although the New Burying Ground was opened in 1797, it was not until 1831 that the Belfast Charitable Society began to keep a registry of all interments. It is unknown why they did not keep a registry from the beginning, but one reason may be that they were more interested in making money to finance the poor-house through the selling of the graves, than to worry about recording who was being buried in them. However at a meeting held in the poor-house on the 18th of December 1830 it was: Resolved -that a registry of all the interments in the Burying Ground of the Charitable Society be kept from the commencement of the next year, and that the Rev. Messrs Macartney and Hicks be requested to have a suitable book prepared for the purpose. The first burial recorded was on the 4th of January, 1831. However, the exact number of people buried in the burying ground before that will never be known. At a rough estimate it could be guessed that around 3,600 burials could have taken place before 1831. That is if up to 100 people had been buried per year, which was below the average amount of burials taking place throughout the 1830s. The figures shown in the three volumes of the registry books are approximately: Volume 1 1831-1841, 2,640 Volume 2 1841-1864, 5,489 Volume 3 1865-1984, 3,109 Add on the pre-1831 figures and the number of those buried in the New Burying Ground could be as high as 14,000.

The new Council covers an area of nearly 200 square miles and Lisburn & represents seven District Electoral Areas namely: Lisburn South, Lisburn North, Downshire West, Downshire East, Castlereagh South, Castlereagh Castlereagh East and Killultagh. The new Council formation brings together two areas with long and proud historical traditions. Lisburn was founded in the early 17th century and its name in Irish is Lios na gCearbhach or Lisnagarvey, which means the ‘fort of the gamesters’ and today many local City Council sports clubs pay tribute by still carrying the title Lisnagarvey in their name. The name Castlereagh comes from ‘Caislen Riabhach’ or ‘Grey Castle’ of the O’Neill’s, which once perched splendidly in the heart of the Castlereagh Hills. The powerful O’Neill Clan inhabited ‘Grey Castle’ known as the ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ due to its position in the hills from the mid-1300s but was lost to the family in the early 17th century. An excursion across the new council area can bring you up close and personal with the Normans, Ulster-Scots, World War II, dolmens, historic churches, forts, the Industrial Revolution and into the present day.
