OFFICIAL REPORT (Hansard)
Committee for Finance OFFICIAL REPORT (Hansard) Functioning of Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill: Draft Report 4 November 2020 NORTHERN IRELAND ASSEMBLY Committee for Finance Functioning of Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill: Draft Report 4 November 2020 Members present for all or part of the proceedings: Dr Steve Aiken (Chairperson) Mr Paul Frew (Deputy Chairperson) Mr Jim Allister Mr Pat Catney Ms Jemma Dolan Mr Philip McGuigan Mr Maolíosa McHugh Mr Matthew O'Toole Mr Jim Wells The Chairperson (Dr Aiken): This is the Committee's opportunity to consider the draft Bill report for its formal consideration and agreement. I ask members if they wish to make any further suggestions or amendments to the report. Mr Wells: We have had a long and detailed examination of Jim's Bill, and members and other MLAs have made very legitimate suggestions. I thought that it was worth including a paragraph in the report to show that numerous amendments have been offered by the Bill's sponsor to try to reach a consensus on it. The Bill is very different from the document that was presented at First Stage, so I thought that it would be useful to put that into the executive summary to indicate that process. It shows the health of the Committee and the fact that it has been a good revising chamber for what is very important legislation. Mr Frew: I would tend to agree with that. I think that the Committee should acknowledge the movement that has been made with the Bill from when it was first introduced in the Assembly.

1 To: His Excellency Hojjatoleslam Sayed Mohammad Khatami, President of Iran BOBBY SANDS STREET, Tehran, Iran. THE name Bobby Sands is known throughout the world, symbolising the heroism of an Irish prisoner and his comrades who died on hunger strike in their unequal fight against their British jailors. Over the course of the past two years British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has been lobbying Iran’s Foreign Minister to change the name of Bobby Sands Street, where the British Embassy is situated, in the capital Tehran. (It was formerly known as Winston Churchill Street.) Bobby Sands was an Irish patriot and martyr, who died on 5 May 1981, after 66 days on hunger strike. Whilst in prison he was elected as a Member of Parliament [MP]. One hundred thousand people attended his funeral, including the Iranian ambassador to Sweden. The British government has no right to be in Ireland, just as it has no right to be interfering in the affairs of any other nation. We appeal to the Iranian government and its people not to bow to requests from the British government to rename Bobby Sands Street. Sincerely, Danny Morrison Michele Neylon [email protected] Kathleen Collins [email protected]. In the Name of Allah the Compassionate and the Merciful....please leave the street named for Bobby Sands Sinn Fein elected representatives: Gerry Adams MP Pat Doherty Martin McGuinness Mitchell McLaughlin Bairbre de Brun Mary Lou McDonald Martin P Meehan Martin McManus Mrs Cathy Rafferty Paul Corrigan Pat Ó Rawe Patrick MacNamee Philip Mc Guigan Paul

Rynne BORDER STATES: DESTROYING PARTITION AND DEFENDING THE REALM, 1949-1961 James P. Rynne Advisors: Oliver P. Rafferty, S.J., D.Phil., Robert J. Savage, Ph.D. Irish Republicans found themselves at a crisis moment in 1949. Legislation enacted by each state on the island affirmed the political reality of Ireland’s partition. The Southern state declared an Irish Republic while the Northern state affirmed the continued integration of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. The partition of island between these two governments was reinforced by the Irish border in the 1950s as it had been for the previous three decades. The Irish Republican Army remained committed to ending the separation through force while the Northern Ireland security apparatus steadfastly safeguarded the realm against any foreign incursion or domestic insurrection. Irish Republicanism reorganized and the IRA launched a disastrously planned and under- resourced Border Campaign between 1956 and 1962.

2Declaration European Call for Democracy In
1 DECLARATION: European Call for Democracy in Catalonia 20th of December 2017 We, members of Parliaments in European countries, express our deepest concern regarding the current situation in Catalonia. In light of the dismissal of the democratically elected Catalan government and the later imprisonment of ministers and leaders of civil society organizations, we call on the Spanish government to cease in this excessive use of force. Furthermore, we call on the Spanish government and on the international society to ensure the upcoming election for the regional Parliament in Catalonia be held in a democratic manner free from undue interference from the Spanish government. We express our wish that the imprisoned minister and leaders of civil society organizations be released and we urge the Spanish government to avoid further use of force and engage in political dialogue with the regional government elected by the Catalans.
