  • Northern Ireland Assembly (Elections and Periods of Suspension) Bill Had Its First Reading on 8 May 2003, and Its Remaining Stages Are Scheduled for 12 May 2003
    RESEARCH PAPER 03/43 The Northern Ireland 9MAY 2003 Assembly (Elections and Periods of Suspension) Bill Bill 104 of 2002-03 The Northern Ireland Assembly (Elections and Periods of Suspension) Bill had its First Reading on 8 May 2003, and its remaining stages are scheduled for 12 May 2003. Elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly were due to take place on 29 May 2003, having been put back from 1 May 2003 by the Northern Ireland Assembly Elections Act 2003 in March 2003. This was discussed in Research Paper 03/21, The Northern Ireland Assembly Elections Bill, 13 March 2003. On 1 May 2003 the British Government announced that it would postpone the elections until the autumn. The British and Irish Governments had been preparing to publish a Joint Declaration on moves towards full implementation of the Belfast Agreement, but they were not satisfied with the undertakings the IRA was prepared to give on meeting its obligations under the Agreement. The British Government argued that the outstanding issues over the IRA position could not be resolved during an election campaign, and so decided on a further postponement. The Irish Government did not support it on this point. This paper gives an account of the main features of the Bill, the British Government’s rationale for postponement, the main reactions to it, and some background.

Just remember what it was like only eighteen months ago when the Ulster Unionist Party was in charge. Republicans won concession after concession while unionism was in retreat. In every negotiation republicans exploited the weakness of the UUP and were allowed to dictate t heir own terms. Now,all that has changed.Today it is the DUP’s agenda that dominates the political process with London, Dublin and Washington accepting our demands as fundamental prerequisites.

  • The Spy Caught Spying on Those for Whom He Was Supposed to Be Spying!
    The Burning Bush—Online article archive The spy caught spying on those for whom he was supposed to be spying! In a place where political farce is commonplace, the “Stormontgate” spy case has rivalled the best of the comical interludes over the past 30 years! It was in October 2002 that the police raided the offices of Sinn Fein in Parliament Buildings, Stormont. As a re- sult of the arrest of three men, including Mr. Denis Donaldson, 55, who had headed Sinn Fein’s admini- stration office at Stormont, Northern Ireland’s power -sharing executive collapsed. The Ulster Unionist Sinn Fein/IRA leaders, Mar- Party under David Trimble were in coalition with tinMcGuinness and Gerry Adams Sinn Fein and the highly unpopular arrangement flankDenis Donaldson. could not take the strain of such an exposure of treachery on the part of one of the coalition part- ners. Since the arrests, the police have recovered hundreds of pages of stolen government documents. Mr. Donaldson later confessed at a Sinn Fein news con- ference that he had been a British spy for over 20 years! Donaldson was considered one of the most dedicated of Sinn Fein’s members. Denis Donaldson was famously photographed arm-in-arm with the IRA’s greatest icon, Bobby Sands. The photograph later was broadcast around the world when Sands died on hunger strike in May 1981. After a 30-year rise to the highest ranks of the IRA, Donaldson’s status within republican- ism is now that of a Judas. Born and reared in the staunchly republican Short Strand in east Belfast, Donaldson was a childhood friend of future senior republicans such as Jim Gibney and Seanna Walsh, the man who publicly announced the disbandment of the IRA earlier this year.

The Northern Ireland Assembly was elected on 25 June 1998 under the terms of the Northern Ireland (Elections) Act 1998.
