  • Field of Blood
    Gerald Seymour Field of Blood PROLOGUE It was a good plan. The Chief and his Brigade Officers had worked at it for five weeks. They knew in which car the target would travel, and which routes his escorts could take between the detached suburban house and the Crown Court. They had the timings on the car, and they knew that all the routes used the same final half mile to the Court buildings. The weapon was in the city. The weapon and its single projectile were available and waiting. The marksmen were available and waiting. The strike was fixed by the Chief for the Thursday of the following week. It was a good plan, too good to fail. That it seemed to have failed was a matter of dismal luck, the luck that had haunted the Organization in the last months. Eammon Dalton and Fran Forde were stopped on the Glen Road at a randomly placed police road block. On another evening the two Volunteers might have carried off the Person Check with indifference, given their names and addresses quietly and calmly, spilled the fictitious every‐night story of where they were going, and been cleared and sent on their way. They were heading, when they were waved down, to a final briefing from Brigade. They were nervous and strung taut and they aroused the interest of the heavily armed constables peering down at the two young Catholics' torch‐lit faces. Dalton wouldn't speak, and Forde gave, in the heat of the moment, an alias which was found a minute later to differ from the name on his driving licence.

This engagement, known as the ‘Belfast conversation’, generated a wealth of ideas about how we can build on our city’s success to achieve transformational change in the lives of our people. These ideas have become embedded in the Belfast Agenda which sets out our city vision to 2035. There is definite energy for making the Belfast Agenda a reality; and a strong commitment to the vision of a well-connected, vibrant city with a modern, successful economy that benefits everyone. This enthusiasm is of course tempered by an awareness of the substantial economic, social and environmental challenges that lie ahead. To achieve the ambitions of the Belfast Agenda, we have set out a number of goals. We want to grow our population by 66,000; we want to increase the number of people working in the city by 46,000; and we want to reduce the gap in life expectancy between the poorest and richest parts of the city. 4 To meet such goals we need to start thinking differently.
