  • Killyclogher, Omagh. Co. Tyrone
    Important Information about Zest: Killyclogher, Omagh. Co. Tyrone First of all, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the generous people of the area who have made it possible for us to deliver our services in the Killyclogher office. Your kindness and generosity are an example to all communities in taking responsibility for addressing the problems of self-harm and suicide. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity. We, at Zest, believe it is important to point out that our office in Killyclogher is a therapy centre and not a drop-in centre. There are 2 reasons for this: 1. Firstly, and the most important reason, is confidentiality. It is essential that all our clients feel safe and that their meetings with us for counselling remain private. This would be very difficult to guarantee if the office was open to the general public on a drop-in basis. 2. Secondly, due to the size of the unit, we are only able to accommodate a small number of people at any given time. However, we can overcome these difficulties. If anyone who wishes to make enquiries for information or who would like to be seen for support, you can telephone the Derry office on 028 71 266999 an appointment will be given to be seen in Killyclogher. You may also call into the Killyclogher office on Friday mornings between 10.30am and 1.30pm to talk to a staff member. We can also arrange to meet small groups at any time, outside of the therapy times. We currently have 4 counsellors seeing clients in Killyclogher, 2 counsellors on Wednesdays and 2 on Thursdays (from 9.00am – 4.00pm each day).

  • The RUC Handling of Certain Intelligence and Its Relationship with Government Communications Headquarters in Relation to the Omagh Bomb on 15 August 1998
    Investigation Report The RUC handling of certain intelligence and its relationship with Government Communications Headquarters in relation to the Omagh Bomb on 15 August 1998 Public Statement by the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland arising from a referral by the Chief Constable, in accordance with Section 62 of the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 1998 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 On 4 May 2010, I received a Referral from the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) concerning a number of specific matters relating to the manner in which the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) Special Branch handled both intelligence and its relationship with Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in relation to the Omagh Bombing on 15 August 1998. The referral originated from issues identified by the House of Commons Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. 1.2 In 2013 the Chief Constable made a further Referral to my Office in connection with the findings of a report commissioned by the Omagh Support and Self Help Group (OSSHG) in support of a full Public Inquiry into the Omagh Bombing. The report identified and discussed a wide range of issues, including a reported tripartite intelligence led operation based in the Republic of Ireland involving American, British and Irish Agencies, central to which was a named agent. It suggested that intelligence from this operation was not shared prior to, or with those who subsequently investigated the Omagh Bombing. 1 1.3 On 12 September 2013 the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Theresa Villiers M.P. issued a statement explaining that there were not sufficient grounds to justify a further inquiry beyond those that had already taken place.

Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • Council Grants Comparison Council Grants Comparison
    COUNCIL GRANTS COMPARISON The Review of Public Administration and Local Government Reform, the development of community planning, the Social Investment Fund, and other political and administrative changes in Northern Ireland mark a unique opportunity to reassert the principles of community development and good relations and, in particular, where these sit within local authorities. In recognition of this opportunity, the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland has recently completed a substantial research project through its Causeway Communities Engagement Programme. This series of 5 ‘In-Brief’ publications summarises the findings from this research and some of the policy implications. This series of 5 In-Brief publications has been completed through the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland’s Causeway Communities Engagement Programme. The Causeway Communities Engagement Programme (CCEP) is a pilot initiative to build community capacity and engagement in selected areas in each of the four Council areas involved in the proposed Causeway Coast & Glens Council (Ballymoney, Coleraine, Limavady and Moyle). It began in January 2012 and is scheduled to run until December 2014. The Programme is funded by the International Fund for Ireland, Atlantic Philanthropies and the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland. The key aims of CCEP are: — Developing relationships and capacity, sharing and learning, meeting local needs; — Addressing future political and administrative changes; — Linking local communities and groups with agencies and Council functions; — Tackling community tensions and divisions; — Addressing the legacy of the conflict; — Sharing the process model and policy lessons with other Council areas and policy makers. There is a huge variation in community development and good relations grants and support programmes across the current 26 District Councils.

  • The Cobanes in Ireland by Shirley De Renzo
    The Cobanes in Ireland by Shirley De Renzo Family tradition passed down among the Cobanes in Ireland indicates the family had early origins on the European continent, most likely the country of France. They were said to be French Huguenots who fled the country because of religious persecution. Webster’s Dictionary describes Huguenots as, “French Protestants, adherent of a Swiss political movement begun in 1532 by Swiss political leader Besancon Hugues and active in the 16th and 17th centuries.” The original name of the Cobanes is said to have been De Gobienne, but over the years we have seen the surname spelled many different ways: Cobane, Cobeans, Cobain, Cabane and even Cobine. They are all believed to be of the same family. The Cobane family arrived on the eastern shores of Northern Ireland around the year 1640. They traveled up the Blackwater River and settled in the area of Aughnacloy, Ballygawley and Skey in the Parish of Carnteel. Records have been discovered which document the presence of Cobanes in Carnteel Parish in the mid-1700’s. There are two leases filed with the Registry of Deeds, the first of which is dated 13 January 1748 and the second 14 January 1748. The first document states that one Acheson Moore, Esq. who was then owner of all of Skey Townland, agreed to lease to Thomas, Joseph, and Samuel Cobane (Cobeans) sixty acres plantation measure for and during their natural lives for the yearly rent of twelve pounds six shillings sterling. The second lease was identical in text except that the grantees were John and James Cobane (Cobeans) for another sixty acre plot and was for the duration of the lives of the above two and for and during the natural life of John’s son, also named James, who was approximately two years of age at the time.

  • The Omagh Bombing - a Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter Bsc (Hons), MB, Chb, RAMC RMO
    J R Army Med Corps 2000; 146: 18-21 J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-146-01-04 on 1 February 2000. Downloaded from The Omagh Bombing - A Medical Perspective Capt SJO Potter BSc (Hons), MB, ChB, RAMC RMO 4 Royal Irish Regiment, BFPO 804 Dr GE Carter MB, ChB, DRCOG GP Trainee SUMMARY: The bomb in Omagh on the 15th August 1998 was responsible for the largest loss of life of any single terrorist incident in the whole of the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland. However, the medical response to this tragedy provided an excellent opportunity for the civilian and military agencies to work together. As a consequence of this a number of lessons were drawn which are presented in the paper. Whatever the outcome of the peace process these lessons will have an important role in the future, since history would suggest that there is little possibility of the terrorist threat ever completely receding. OMAGH COURT HOUSE LOCATION OF VBIED http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ Fig 1. Diagram showing location of Court House in relation to actual location of car bomb. (VBIED) The Good Friday Agreement heralded a new era for the small district general hospital - The Tyrone County. The people of Northern Ireland. It was with great belief in the Ulster Ballygawley Bus bombing in 1988 (8 dead) and the Teebane Referendum that they dared to look forward to peace. The massacre in 1992 (8 dead) had been the previous largest Canary Wharf, Thiepval Barracks and Manchester bombings atrocities in the area although there had also been many smaller which all occured during previous PIRA cease-fires provided shootings and bombings locally.
