Superintendent of Police. 2 6 th JULY 2015 • TYNWALD The President The Hon Clare Christian BSc was elected as the third President of Tynwald in July 2011, the first woman appointed to this role, succeeding the retiring President Mr N Q Cringle OBE. She presides over sittings of Tynwald in Douglas and the Royal Chapel unless the Lord of Man or a member of the Royal family is present to do so. Madam President has served as a Member of Tynwald for 28 years. The President’s robes are unique in embodying motifs which are significant in Manx culture and history. In the absence of the Lord of Man she along with Mr Speaker, Captions the Acts at the Sitting of Tynwald Court which is held in the Royal Chapel after their promulgation on Tynwald Hill. The Sword of State The Manx Sword of State, seen on the cover of this programme and by long tradition carried before the Island’s ruler or their representative on Tynwald Day, is a remarkable artefact dating back to at least the 1400s. Bernadette McCabe has been the official Tynwald Day swordbearer since 1998; she is the first woman in history to carry out the role. It is a few inches shorter than it would have been originally – thanks, it is said, to the fact that at one stage it was used as a poker by persons unknown. It was sent to the British Museum for cleaning in 1871 “having become foul by misusage”. The sword lies on a table in the middle of the Tynwald Chamber in Douglas during ordinary sittings throughout the rest of the year. The Speaker The Hon Stephen Charles Rodan BSc (Hons) MR Pharm S, Member of the House of Keys for Garff, was elected as Speaker of the House of Keys in December 2006. Mr Rodan was first elected to the House of Keys, as Member for Garff, in 1995. Since then he has held several major Government posts including Minister for Education for five years until his election as Speaker, Minister for Health and Social Security. Prior to becoming a national politician, Mr Rodan served on Laxey Commissioners for four years, and for two of those he was Chairman of that local authority. As Speaker, Mr Rodan is responsible for controlling proceedings of the House of Keys and being its spokesperson and defender of its privileges. 3 TINVAAL • 6.00 JERREY SOUREE 2015 HM Acting Attorney General John Quinn, appointed HM Acting Attorney General in March 2013, was born and raised in the Isle of Man where he attended St Mary’s School, Douglas followed by boarding school at Upholland College, Skelmersdale. Called to the Manx Bar 1978. Past President IOM Law Society; past Chairman Bank of Ireland (Isle of Man) Limited and past Chairman Hospice Care. In his busy general legal practice was a founder partner in Quinn Kneale Advocates (30 years) and prior to his appointment was an in-house corporate lawyer. His interests include farming, gardening and music making. The Deemsters The primary role on Tynwald Day of the Island’s First and Second Deemsters, or High Court judges, is to promulgate any new Acts which have been passed by Tynwald and received Royal Assent during the previous year. They are invited by the Lieutenant Governor, “Learned Deemsters, I exhort you to proclaim to the people in ancient form such laws as have been enacted during the past year and which have received the Royal Assent”. One of them reads the titles of the Acts in English, the other in Manx Gaelic. The First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls is Chief Justice of the Island’s High Court of Justice, and in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor acts as his deputy. The first written reference to Deemster can be traced back to the early 1400s but the office of Deemster is probably much older dating back to the Norse Kingdom and the origins of Tynwald in the 10th century. First and Second Deemsters His Honour the First Deemster, D C Doyle (above left) took up his office in December 2010 having previously been Second Deemster from March 2003.

  • Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. an Examination of Manx Farming Between 1750 and 1900
    115 Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. An examination of Manx farming between 1750 and 1900 CJ Page Introduction Set in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man was far from being an isolated community. Being over 33 miles long by 13 miles wide, with a central mountainous land mass, meant that most of the cultivated area was not that far from the shore and the influence of the sea. Until recent years the Irish Sea was an extremely busy stretch of water, and the island greatly benefited from the trade passing through it. Manxmen had long been involved with the sea and were found around the world as members of the British merchant fleet and also in the British navy. Such people as Fletcher Christian from HMAV Bounty, (even its captain, Lieutenant Bligh was married in Onchan, near Douglas), and also John Quilliam who was First Lieutenant on Nelson's Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar, are some of the more notable examples. However, it was fishing that employed many Manxmen, and most of these fishermen were also farmers, dividing their time between the two occupations (Kinvig 1975, 144). Fishing generally proved very lucrative, especially when it was combined with the other aspect of the sea - smuggling. Smuggling involved both the larger merchant ships and also the smaller fishing vessels, including the inshore craft. Such was the extent of this activity that by the mid- I 8th century it was costing the British and Irish Governments £350,000 in lost revenue, plus a further loss to the Irish administration of £200,000 (Moore 1900, 438).

  • Rule of Law : the Backbone of Economic Growth
    Rule of law : the backbone of economic growth (A lecture delivered by Deemster David Doyle at the Oxford Union on 17 July 2014 as part of the Small Countries Financial Management Programme) Introduction “By this Book and the Holy Contents thereof and by the wonderful Works that GOD hath miraculously wrought in Heaven above and in the Earth beneath in Six Days and Seven Nights; I David Charles Doyle do swear that I will without respect of favour or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice, execute the Laws of this Isle justly betwixt Our Sovereign LADY THE QUEEN and Her Subjects within this Isle, and betwixt Party and Party as indifferently as the Herring Backbone doth lie in the midst of the Fish. So help me God. And by the Contents of this Book” That was the judicial oath I first took in 2003 when I was appointed Second Deemster and again in 2010 when I was appointed First Deemster. I am sharing it with you this evening because it embodies the essentials of the rule of law. Lord Hope, the former Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, was kind enough to refer to the Manx judicial oath in the chapter he contributed to Judge and Jurist Essays in Memory of Lord Rodger of Earlsferry (2013 Oxford University Press) at pages 75-76. Justice must be delivered according to the law, without surrendering to any improper influences and delivering equal treatment to everybody, “without respect of favour or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice”.

  • AMANDA GRIFFIN the Manx Music Festival
    EnterText 2.1 AMANDA GRIFFIN The Manx Music Festival: A Socio-Cultural Consideration Introduction At the close of the 1993 Manx Music Festival, Sir Charles Kerruish, then President of the Isle of Man parliament, Tynwald, stated: “This festival demonstrates the strength of Manx culture as it is today. Frankly it makes me feel proud to be Manx and happy in the knowledge that our cultural heritage is in such safe keeping.”1 This article is a consideration of the ways in which this music festival can be claimed to demonstrate “the strength of Manx culture as it is today.” By examining the festival from two perspectives it will consider the ways in which the festival is negotiated as a symbol of Manx culture. The first of these perspectives focuses on the meanings found within the festival itself, and the second on the place the Manx Music Festival occupies in the broader culture of the Isle of Man as a whole. Ultimately the article will show how a competitive music festival is used as symbol of both culture and identity. The empirical research for this paper took place over a number of preparatory months and culminated in an intensive six-week period of field study in the Isle of Man that included attending the 108th Manx Music Festival in April 2000. I have chosen to report my findings from this research using the present tense, but this is by Amanda Griffin: The Manx Music Festival150 EnterText 2.1 no means an attempt to place the research in some sort of historically ambivalent moment, with disregard to the passage of time.

  • Factsheet Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation
    Factsheet Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation In the early morning of Tuesday 2 June 1953 the Ampulla was filled with oil. At 11.20 The Queen entered Westminster Abbey through the West Door as Psalm 122 was sung, and passed her throne to sit on the Chair of Estate. The Regalia (crown, orb, sceptres) and swords were carried in the procession, presented to the Archbishop and placed upon the Altar. The Queen took the Oath, promising to govern the Commonwealth according to their respective laws and customs, to be a fair monarch, to uphold the Laws of God and maintain the Church of England. The Queen arose from the Chair of Estate with the Sword of State carried before her and went to the Altar to make her solemn oath, kiss the Bible and sign the Oath before returning to her Chair. The Communion service then began. After the reading of the Creed, the Anointing took place. The Queen rose from her devotions, her crimson robe was removed, and she made her way to the Altar to sit in King Edward’s Chair. Four Knights of the Garter held a cloth up around The Queen, so that this part of the ceremony could not be viewed by the media, and the Dean of Westminster took the Ampulla and Spoon and anointed The Queen. Once the prayers were completed The Queen stood and was robed in the Colobium Sindonis (plain white dress) and the Supertunica (golden coat). The Spurs were then brought from the Altar and offered to The Queen and the Sword of State replaced with the Jewelled Sword of Offering.
