  • Entering Catholic West Belfast
    Chapter 1 A Walk of Life Entering Catholic West Belfast n a Friday afternoon in September 2004, shortly before returning home from Omy ethnographic fieldwork, I took my video camera and filmed a walk from the city centre into Catholic West Belfast up to the Beechmount area, where I had lived and conducted much of my research. I had come to Catholic West Belfast fourteen months prior with the intention of learning about locally prevailing senses of ethnic identity. Yet I soon found out that virtually every local Catholic I talked to seemed to see him- or herself as ‘Irish’, and apparently expected other locals to do the same. My open questions such as ‘What ethnic or national identity do you have?’ at times even irritated my interlocutors, not so much, as I figured out, because they felt like I was contesting their sense of identity but, to the contrary, because the answer ‘Irish’ seemed so obvious. ‘What else could I be?’ was a rhetorical question I often encountered in such conversations, indicating to me that, for many, Irish identity went without saying. If that was the case, then what did being Irish mean to these people? What made somebody Irish, and where were local senses of Irishness to be found? Questions like these became the focus of my investigations and constitute the overall subject of this book. One obvious entry point for addressing such questions consisted in attending to the ways in which Irishness was locally represented. Listening to how locals talked about their Irishness, keeping an eye on public representations by organizations and the media, and explicitly asking people about their Irishness in informal conversations and formal interviews all constituted ways of approaching this topic.

  • POP022 Topic Paper: Transportation
    POP022 Belfast LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2020-2035 Transportation Topic Paper December 2016 Executive Summary Context A good transportation system helps people get to where they need to go quickly and easily and makes our towns and cities better places to live. In Northern Ireland, there is a history of heavy reliance on the private car as a means of travel. However, in recent years Belfast has witnessed many improvements in the city’s transportation system, in terms of roads, public transport and walking and cycling. As Belfast continues to grow and modernise, continued developments and major enhancements to our transport infrastructure are still required. The need to integrate transportation and land use to maximise development around quality sustainable transport networks is an essential element of the local development plan. The responsibility for transport policies and initiatives lies with the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) (formerly Department for Regional Development (DRD)). During the plan-making process the Council will be required to work closely with DfI to incorporate transport policy and initiatives into the Plan. The Local Development Plan (LDP) will need to be consistent with the objectives of the Regional Development Strategy (RDS) 2035 and relevant Transport Plans. Regional guidance outlines the need to deliver a balanced approach to transport infrastructure, support the growth of the economy, enhance quality of life for all and reduce the environmental impact of transport.
