uuptoday.org » Kennedy expresses Disgust and Revulsion at Quinn Murder Kennedy expresses Disgust and Revulsion at Quinn Murder E-mail to a friend October 22nd, 2007 Danny Kennedy MLA Ulster Unionist Deputy Leader and Newry and Armagh MLA Danny Kennedy today expressed his disgust at the brutal murder of 21 year Paul Quinn who was apparently set upon by a gang and added if the IRA were involved it could have political consequences. In a statement Mr Kennedy said, “The community will feel utter revulsion at this murder and the manner in which it was carried out, reminiscent of a lynching gang from the deep south. I would urge full co-operation from the community with the Police in ensuring that those responsible for this disgusting act of murder are brought to justice and thrown behind bars. If as allegations suggest, the IRA was involved in the murder of Mr Quinn it could have political consequences.” Entry Filed under: Policing and Security Print this Page Trackback this post News Item Archives October 2007 M T W T F S S « Sep 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 http://uuptoday.org/newsroom/2007/10/22/kennedy-expresses-disgust-and-revulsion-at-quinn-murder/ (1 of 2)23/10/2007 10:15:05 uuptoday.org » Kennedy expresses Disgust and Revulsion at Quinn Murder 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 ● Archives Search Archive: Our Priorities ● A Fair and Inclusive Society ● A Strong and Enduring Union ● Agriculture & Sustainable Rural Communities ● Economic Growth & Investment ● Healthcare & the NHS ● Northern Ireland and the EU ● Policing and Security ● Protecting our Heritage and Environment ● Quality Education for all our Children ● Supporting Families & Older Citizens ● Thinking Aloud (Articles) ● Top Stories ● Uncategorized What's your View?

Report of #CoffeeClub @ #UUP16 The autumn party conference season kicked off on Saturday 22nd October in the Ramada Plaza, Shaws Bridge, Belfast for the Ulster Unionist Party Conference (#UUP16). #CoffeeClub has now become synonymous with party conference season and welcomed by many for its constant supply of great coffee and conversation. Keeping Coffee Clubbers refuelled on the day was the team from Loaf Catering, a Belfast based Social Enterprise run by the NOW Project. The first discussion topic on the agenda was hosted by Stratagem and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). It focused on JRF’s most recent publication We can solve poverty in the UK. Liz Mitchell from the Institute of Public Health welcomed the report and the solutions presented within it. The focus on children, families and education from JRF was commended by Julie Healy from Barnados. She added that there is a need for local solutions to poverty and highlighted the role that schools have to play in providing solutions. Breedagh Hughes of the Royal College of Midwives referenced the lack of aspiration among those living in poverty. Describing childcare costs as “extortionate”, she highlighted that for those in poverty, the “focus is on surviving, not on thriving.” UUP leader Mike Nesbitt MLA suggested that in times of austerity, one of the short-term solutions for poverty can be investment in the third sector and social economy, with both returning financial and social capital.

The beautifully restored Ballybot House was the venue for the first of two Community Conferences in October. The Assembly, in partnership with the Confederation of Community Groups, provided a robust programme in Newry. Attendees from local community groups and agencies started the day with a whistle-stop tour of how the Assembly works. The broadcaster Eamonn Mallie hosted a Question and Answer William Irwin MLA session with 5 MLAs –Dominic Bradley, Mickey Brady, William Irwin, Danny Kennedy and Trevor Lunn. It was a rare opportunity to have 5 parties represented on a panel and the delegates wasted no time in asking some very tough questions. Some of the MLAs stayed to lend their expertise in chairing a session on presenting to a Committee before delegates gave their thoughts on how the Assembly can connect more effectively with its audiences. Raymond Jackson, Chief Executive of the Confederation of Community Groups said: Danny Kennedy MLA “As the Assembly gains momentum, more and more decisions are being made at Stormont which affect the groups we represent.
