JIMMY HARTE KEEPING in TOUCH Autumn 2013 Senator JIMMY HARTE KEEPING IN TOUCH Autumn 2013 INTRODUCTION A Chara, Just over two short years ago, when Labour entered government we faced some of the most challenging economic circumstances our country has ever seen. We had lost our economic sovereignty. Unemployment was soaring and the banking system was in chaos. The economic chaos which this Government inherited on taking office meant there was a very real risk that the Live Register would exceed 500,000. We stabilised the economy as a first priority and the results are now being seen as we plan to exit the bailout programme in the next year. Labour in government is determined to continue to get people back to work and deal with the personal debt crisis. Labour have been tackling and succeeding to reduce the unemployment rate, which based on the live register, has shown a steady decline since February last year and the total numbers signing on the dole have dropped by about 20,000 over the last year to 435,280.As your voice in the Seanad I have been speaking on issues important to you - mortgage arrears, bankruptcy and insolvency, education, initiatives to tackle youth unemployment, the draft US Immigration Bill, the Homelessness Bill, and many more issues. Senator Jimmy Harte with Mr Tom Parlon CEO of Construction Industry Federation, Senator Fergal Quinn Sponsor of the Construction Contracts Bill. The aim of the legislation is to reduce subcontractors' exposure to non-payment and Senator Harte at the launch of the "LIGHT IT UP GOLD" Donegal Campaign in to remove the possibility of payments being unfairly withheld for extended Letterkenny to raise awareness of childhood cancer periods of time.

Over the past number of weeks our Country has been preparing for two state visits, the first of which was Queen Elizabeth 11 and then the visit of the President of America, Mr Barrack Obama. There are many of our County folk who find themselves undocumented Donegal, the Inishowen Peninsula, Carndonagh – in America at present, and I hope that the President’s visit will have re-opened that conversation of immigration reform that is so the Donegal of my childhood. badly needed.

As custodians of the collective memory of the county, genealogy or family history resources are important library services. Genealogy plays an important role in how we view ourselves, our history and the connections we have around the world. Genealogy makes history come alive because when people learn about their ancestors they are able to make connections to history. This booklet provides a brief introduction to the family history records available within the Library, Archives and Museum Services of Donegal County Council. It will also guide those interested in tracing their family tree to other online resources and give the contact details of other agencies that can help in their research. This booklet has been funded by Donegal County Council’s Hands of History – One Donegal, Many Pasts, One Future project. Hands of History is supported by the European Union’s European Regional Development Fund through the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation, led by Donegal County Council under the auspices of the Donegal County Development Board’s Peace and Reconciliation Partnership. Hands of History aims to develop an understanding of how key events in our history were experienced by different communities within the county and how these historical legacies have contributed to relationships today.
