This was to be as part of the long delayed reorganisation of the sector with the creation of the Education and Skills Authority (ESA) in place of the five Boards. None of this has happened; we will now have a single Education and Library Board combining the present five. The saga of ESA illustrates the barriers to even the most necessary and what should be the least controversial change. Such is the environment in which NICIE works. The Department have yet to consult with the to report that there are three primary schools Board of Directors on the future role and shape taking forward the transformation process. of NICIE in the evolving and foggy environment which is the education sector in Northern Ireland. Education has become a competitive We understand that we will not formally become environment and school enrolments are more a Sectoral Support Body and our status will than ever dependent on exam results and remain as a Non-Departmental Public Body inspection reports.

Of particular its role and functions in preparation for becoming concern is the proper conduct of the affairs a sectoral support body.

Over a period of 30 years, groups of parents, assisted by NICIE, came together from across the divide to establish their own schools. Their hopes were simple: they wanted schools where their children could be educated together as the norm. They wanted schools where the focus was on the child series of polls carried out by NICIE and by the Integrated as an individual, not on the child as the presumed Education Fund (IEF) showed strong and consistent member of one or other tradition; they wanted schools public and parental support for integrated education. where as parents they would be welcomed as full An important judicial review asserted the obligations partners in their child’s education; they wanted schools of the Department of Education (DE) under article 64 where brothers and sisters and children with a range of of the Education Reform Order 1989, defining the key abilities could be educated together. They were met characteristic of integrated education and reminding DE with hostility and obstacles, but they persevered and of the need to make this duty live at an operational level. today there are 62 such schools, testament to the determination and vision of those parents.

This is unfair and inequitable. if we can’t see ourselves in one another, if fear or resentment are allowed to harden, that encourages The issue of responsibility for planning is one key area division. It discourages cooperation.’ NICIE has pursued through the area based planning process. We sit on the steering group established to Educators, in divided societies throughout the world, oversee this process.

By proceedings for judicial review commenced in the High Court in Northern Ireland, the applicants in the above-proceedings1 challenged the proposed means on the part of Her Majesty’s Government (HMG) by which it would notify the European Council of the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the European Union under Article 50(2) TEU. HMG’s public stance has made clear that its intention is to provide notification from the relevant Secretary of State, in purported exercise of royal prerogative and without Parliamentary authority contained in legislation, that the whole of the United Kingdom intends to leave European Union. The question is whether that is lawful. 2. The applicants in the judicial review proceedings fall into three categories. A number of them are Members of the Legislative Assembly in Northern Ireland and prominent politicians2. A second group comprises those with close associations to the voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland. The third is two well-respected human rights organisations operating in Northern Ireland.

  • The Debate on Abortion in Northern Ireland
    The Debate on Abortion in Northern Ireland: An examination of voices and frames in mainstream media Malene Bethina Nicolajsen MA THESIS Supervisor: Lise Rolandsen Agustin Master’s Programme in European Studies & Global Gender Studies Aalborg University Spring 2017 Abstract The topic of this thesis is an analysis of the public debate on abortion in Northern Ireland in terms of inclusion and exclusion of voices and frames. On December 15th 2015, a judge at the Belfast High Court ruled that the current abortion law in the province of Northern Ireland was incompatible with human rights, specifically when it came to abortion provisions in cases of fatal fetal abnormality and rape or incest. The Northern Ireland Assembly chose to vote on proposed amendments to the abortion law on February 10th 2016. This study examined the debate on abortion that took place in mainstream media in relation to the proposed changes to the law, with the scope limited to the time span between these two events. The problem formulation examined is: How does the public debate on abortion in Northern Ireland include some voices and frames and potentially exclude others? Previous studies on abortion in Northern Ireland have identified that the anti-abortion view is dominant in the province’ political institutions (see e.g. Smyth 2006; Thomson 2016;). There has been a tendency to draw on a common culture of pro-life that serve to make people of a different opinion refrain from voicing their views (see e.g. Fegan & Rebouche 2003). Furthermore, a study by Ferree et al. (2002) found that some actors were excluded from mainstream media in the public debate on abortion in both Germany and the United States.
