The Stockman’s Lane project is one of three junctions on the Belfast Westlink, all of which required major reconstruction to improve traffic flow and increase capacity to cope with over 65,000 vehicle movements per day. Two new bridges were required to span the Stockman’s During construction Lane circulatory system beneath the motorway and slip roads had to remain in use throughout the work. Solution MacWall Landmark retaining walls have been installed at the Stockman’s Lane Junction of the Belfast Westlink, one of the City’s principal arterial roads and part of a £115m, M1 motorway improvement scheme being undertaken by Contractors HMC [Highway Management Construction] for the Northern Ireland Department for Regional development Road Services. Arup’s design solution was to install near vertical, masonry-faced reinforced earth retaining walls between the new carriageway and the slip roads. Four walls were to be constructed, each approximately 150m long and up to 4m high. Detailed design was undertaken by During construction Geotechnical Specialists Maccaferri, who specified MacWall Landmark Segmental Retaining Wall blocks for the wall facing.

Entering Catholic West Belfast
Chapter 1 A Walk of Life Entering Catholic West Belfast n a Friday afternoon in September 2004, shortly before returning home from Omy ethnographic fieldwork, I took my video camera and filmed a walk from the city centre into Catholic West Belfast up to the Beechmount area, where I had lived and conducted much of my research. I had come to Catholic West Belfast fourteen months prior with the intention of learning about locally prevailing senses of ethnic identity. Yet I soon found out that virtually every local Catholic I talked to seemed to see him- or herself as ‘Irish’, and apparently expected other locals to do the same. My open questions such as ‘What ethnic or national identity do you have?’ at times even irritated my interlocutors, not so much, as I figured out, because they felt like I was contesting their sense of identity but, to the contrary, because the answer ‘Irish’ seemed so obvious. ‘What else could I be?’ was a rhetorical question I often encountered in such conversations, indicating to me that, for many, Irish identity went without saying. If that was the case, then what did being Irish mean to these people? What made somebody Irish, and where were local senses of Irishness to be found? Questions like these became the focus of my investigations and constitute the overall subject of this book. One obvious entry point for addressing such questions consisted in attending to the ways in which Irishness was locally represented. Listening to how locals talked about their Irishness, keeping an eye on public representations by organizations and the media, and explicitly asking people about their Irishness in informal conversations and formal interviews all constituted ways of approaching this topic.

History of Roads Service.Pub
1 A History of Roads Service 1973 - 2005 2 3 Foreword In late 2003 the Northern Ireland Branch of the County Surveyors’ Society proposed that Roads Service should commission a printed document describing the creation of the organi- sation and the first 30 years of its history. In addition, consideration was to be given to the establishment of a physical archive of important documents and other material. This proposal was accepted in late 2004 and this document is the result of the efforts of the authors which have included consultation and discussion with many members of staff, both past and present. We were asked to prepare a history that was formal rather than anecdo- tal. It was acknowledged that there would be some overlap with other publications and in par- ticular the Institution of Highways and Transportation Silver Jubilee document of 1989, the Roads Service Jubilee Reflections of 1998, and the Northern Ireland Motorway Achieve- ment of 2002. We considered it important to set the formation of the organisation in the context of the pro- posals to reshape local government which were developed between 1966 and 1970. There are of course proposals stemming from the recent Review of Public Administration which may have far reaching implications for the Roads Service as we have known it over the last 33 years. In a publication such as this, it is not possible to record all organisational changes or cap- ture references to all functions the organisation carried out. However we hope that readers will find something of interest in the document. Finally, this document would not have been possible without the generous assistance of many people, the names of whom we have acknowledged in Appendix E.

Planning, Financing and Delivering Transport Infrastructure
Research and Information Service Research Paper December 2016 Des McKibbin Planning, financing and delivering transport infrastructure NIAR 342-16 This paper compares the various ways in which transport infrastructure is planned, financed and delivered in each of the UK regions. This includes a comparison of public spending on roads, bus and rail provision with an analysis of the subsidies paid to operators. The role of private sector finance in the delivery of infrastructure is considered and the various approaches to employing private capital, including how this is paid for, in the UK regions as well as in Belgium and Germany is set out Paper 21/17 December 2016 Research and Information Service briefings are compiled for the benefit of MLAs and their support staff. Authors are available to discuss the contents of these papers with Members and their staff but cannot advise members of the general public. We do, however, welcome written evidence that relates to our papers and this should be sent to the Research and Information Service, Northern Ireland Assembly, Room 139, Parliament Buildings, Belfast BT4 3XX or e-mailed to [email protected] NIAR 342-16 Research Paper Executive Summary High quality infrastructure is a critical element of a country’s economic and social prosperity and while the UK ranks highly in the global infrastructure league tables it does fall short of a number of countries of similar size and wealth. At a regional level within the UK most powers relating to transport are devolved and as a result of this there is significant variation in the level of transport investment.
