  • 2Nd Annual Report, 1997
    BRITISH-IRISH INTER-PARLIAMENTARY BODY COMHLACHT IDIR-PHARLAIMINTEACH NA BREATAINE AGUS NA hÉIREANN SECOND ANNUAL REPORT No. 56 — February 1998 THE WORK OF THE BRITISH-IRISH INTER-PARLIAMENTARY BODY 1. This is the second Annual Report of the Body since it was decided at the 11th Plenary Session in May 1996 that such a Report should be made. The current Report summarises the work of the Body in 1997 - a particularly eventful year in which both parts of the membership were reconstituted after the General Elections (and changes of Government) which took place in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Membership 2. A number of Members retired at the Elections - notably Mr Peter Barry TD, Mr Jimmy Leonard TD, Sir Giles Shaw MP and Mr Stan Orme MP, long-serving Members and former office-holders in the Body or its Committees. At the Plenary Session in March the Body formally recorded its appreciation of those who were retiring at the forthcoming elections. Subsequently, at the election to the Dáil in June 1997, Mr Liam Kavanagh, a Vice-Chairman of the Body, lost his seat and so could not be renominated. 3. A further change came early in the first Plenary Session of the reconstituted Body when the outgoing British Co-Chairman, Mr Peter Temple-Morris MP, resigned his place as a result of his leaving the Conservative Party. He was replaced as a full Member of the Body by Mr Robert Jackson MP, who in turn was replaced as an Associate by Lord Lyell. The outgoing Irish Co-Chairman, Mr Paul Bradford TD, ceased to be a full Member of the Body but happily continued as an Associate Member.
