PETER McNANEY Chief Executive Page 3 Agenda Item 4 Council MONTHLY MEETING OF BELFAST CITY COUNCIL Held in the City Hall on Monday, 4th March, 2013 at the hour of 6.00 o’clock p.m., pursuant to Notice. Members present: The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor (Alderman Robinson) (Chairman); the Deputy Lord Mayor (Councillor Cunningham); the High Sheriff (Councillor Kingston); Aldermen Browne, Campbell, Ekin, Humphrey, McCoubrey, R. Newton, R. Patterson, Rodgers, Smyth, Stalford and Stoker; Councillors Attwood, Austin, M. E. Campbell, Convery, Corr, Curran, Garrett, Groves, Haire, Hanna, Hargey, Hartley, Hendron, Hussey, Jones, Keenan, Kelly, Kyle, Lavery, Mac Giolla Mhín, Mallon, Maskey, Mullan, McCabe, McCarthy, McKee, McNamee, McVeigh, A. Newton, Ó Donnghaile, Ó Muilleoir, O’Neill, L. Patterson, Reynolds, Spence and Thompson. Reading of Scriptures In accordance with Standing Order 9, the Lord Mayor read a passage from the Scriptures. Summons The Chief Executive submitted the summons convening the meeting. Apology An apology was reported on behalf of Councillor Webb. Expression of Sympathy The Lord Mayor, on behalf of the Council, expressed sympathy to Councillor Caoimhin Mac Giolla Mhín and to his wife and former Member of the Council, Mrs. Christine Mhic Giolla Mhin, on the recent death of her mother. Her Majesty The Queen At the request of the High Sheriff (Councillor Kingston), the Lord Mayor agreed to write to Her Majesty the Queen to convey best wishes for a speedy recovery after her recent illness. A 197 Page 4 Meeting of Council Monday, 4th March, 2013 Councillor Spence The Lord Mayor, on behalf of the Council, extended congratulations to Councillor Spence on the occasion of his twenty-first birthday. Minutes Moved by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor (Alderman Robinson), Seconded by Councillor Hendron and Resolved – That the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting of the Council of 4th February be taken as read and signed as correct. Change of Membership The Council was advised that notification had been received from the Democratic Unionist Party indicating that it wished to replace Councillor McKee with Councillor Spence on the North Belfast District Policing Community Safety Partnership; and that it wished Councillor McKee to replace Councillor Spence on the Belfast Policing and Community Safety Partnership. The Council approved the aforementioned changes. Deputation – Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month The Chief Executive reported that correspondence had been received from Mrs. Una Crudden seeking permission to address the Council on the matter of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, which, he pointed out, would be the subject of a notice of motion later in the meeting. The Council acceded to the request and Mrs. Crudden was admitted to the meeting. Mrs. Crudden advised the Council that she had been diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. She explained that there were a number of issues of concern which had been identified surrounding the disease, namely, the length of time it took for women to make initial visits to their doctors; the issue of misdiagnosis; and the availability of treatment in Northern Ireland. She indicated that five women, including herself, had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the same time and that she was the only one who was still alive. She pointed out that research had indicated that 37% of women in Northern Ireland lacked awareness in identifying the symptoms of ovarian cancer, a figure which was significantly higher than the United Kingdom average of 23%. She explained that she was campaigning to raise awareness of the symptoms of the disease and, to this end, had recorded a compact disc entitled ‘Angel of Hope’, the proceeds of which would be donated to the Northern Ireland Hospice. She concluded by requesting that the Council would agree to support unanimously the notice of motion which would be considered later in the meeting. The Lord Mayor thanked Mrs. Crudden for her address to the Council and she retired from the meeting.

  • Rabodirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 ROUND 15 PREVIEWS ROUND 15 FIXTURES
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 15: 20th – 23rd February 2014 ROUND 15 PREVIEWS With the international weekend kicking off on Friday night, the majority of the RaboDirect PRO12 games take place on Sunday, however Cardiff Blues open round 15 with their game against current champions, Leinster at the Arms Park on Thursday evening and if past form is any guide Cardiff will have their work cut out to claim victory in this match. The sole game on Saturday is also in Wales with Edinburgh Rugby visiting Llanelli to play Scarlets, who missed out last round due to the weather in Belfast. The Scots do not travel well, so Scarlets must be hoping to put their own home record back on track in this fixture. The remaining four games take place on Sunday, with a TV double header in Italy, Benetton Treviso hosting Ulster and Zebre facing another Irish province, Connacht. Connacht’s victory over Edinburgh last time out saw them swap places with Zebre at the foot of the table, which could be reversed if Zebre claim this tie. Ulster on the other hand will be hoping they can make up some ground on the teams above them in the Play-Off zone. At the same time the remaining two Welsh regions will be in action in the principality. Newport Gwent Dragons opponents’ Glasgow Warriors, currently sit in 4th place in the table courtesy of one more win than Ulster, and still have two games in hand over the three teams above them. The outstanding game must be the pick of the weekend, leaders Munster travelling to face 3rd placed Ospreys, who claimed a record victory over Treviso in their last game at the Liberty Stadium.

  • RD PRO12 Preview Round 16
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 16: 28th February & 1st March 2014 ROUND 16 PREVIEWS Round 16 of the RaboDirect PRO12 is the last of a run of four straight rounds that could help define a team’s season before international rugby once more takes centre stage. The focus will now be on achieving a top four placing, thereby qualifying for the end of season Play-Offs and the chance to be crowned champions. At present 6 teams appear to be contesting the Play-Off places and two of those are in action against each other in the last game of the round on Saturday night, when Glasgow Warriors travel to Dublin to face Leinster. Warriors have already beaten their hosts once this season, a victory could start them off on another sequence of away wins after Dragons ended their record run last time out. Also on Saturday evening table topping Munster travel to 6th placed Scarlets, and the home team must claim the points if they are to have any chance of making a successful late bid for the Play-Off Zone. The third and fourth placed teams are both in action on Friday night, Ulster welcoming Newport Gwent Dragons to Ravenhill whilst Ospreys travel to Edinburgh to play at Boroughmuir’s Meggetland ground. Dragons may have defeated Ulster in Wales, but will find it a much tougher prospect in Belfast as the home side have lost there just once in 12 months. Ospreys are another team not afraid to travel and will hope their ratio of more wins on the road that at home will continue for this trip.

  • Rabodirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 17: 21-23 March 2014 PREVIEW ROUND 17 Having led Leinster to the RaboDirect PRO12 title last season, Ireland coach Joe Schmidt took the RBS 6 Nations crown at the first time of asking in a tense finish to the Championship last weekend. Following on Ireland’s success it is perhaps appropriate that as the RaboDirect PRO12 returns to centre stage three of the top four teams are Irish Provinces. Schmidt’s former team, Leinster are in action at the RDS on Friday night, they and Munster both host Italian opposition in round 17 and whilst the records seem to point in favour of two home wins, neither side can afford to slip up as they chase a top two finish. Third placed Ulster are also in action on Friday night, their bonus point win over Scarlets in their rearranged game last week has pulled them closer to the leaders as the battle for home advantage in the Play-Offs intensifies. Ospreys, the only non-Irish side currently in the Play-Off Zone, know they have a fight on their hands to maintain that position as Glasgow Warriors are just three points behind them but still have two games in hand. Ospreys face fellow Welsh Region Cardiff Blues on Friday night, whereas Glasgow Warriors welcome Scarlets to Scotstoun on Saturday, the Welshmen did not make up any ground on the top four in their rearranged fixture last week. The next two weeks could be critical in any team’s aspirations of making the end of season Play-Offs as the pressure starts to build towards the season finale.

  • RD PRO12 Preview Round 10
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 10: 20 & 21 December 2013 ROUND 10 PREVIEWS The focus returns once again to the RaboDirect PRO12 after two weeks of European competition, with Irish Provinces topping three of the six Heineken Cup Pools. Ulster are the stand-out performers so far, the only team with a 100 per cent winning record still left in the competition, garnering 18 pool points in the process. Munster and Leinster, both also past winners of the trophy, top their respective pools, whilst Cardiff Blues, the top placed Welsh Region, are only two points shy of their pool leaders, reigning champions Toulon. The Irish provinces are faring well in the RaboDirect PRO12 as well, with three of the four Play-Off places taken up by them, Munster pulling out a four point lead at the top of the table as the half-way point of the season approaches. They are in action at Musgrave Park on Saturday evening when they face Scarlets, the Welsh region having won at this venue last time they visited. The round starts off on Friday night with the remaining three teams currently in the Play-Off Zone – Leinster, Glasgow Warriors and Ulster - all in action. Second placed Leinster travel to Murrayfield buoyed by the fact they have won their last five contests with Edinburgh, whilst in Glasgow, Benetton Treviso are the visitors. Having led in the early part of the season Warriors now reside in third place in the table, level on points with Ulster and need a win to keep their season on track.
