This subject continues to be important as the Housing Executive remains a major provider of social housing across Northern Ireland and residential segregation (and its reverse, residential mixing) are still a focus of central government concern through programmes such as Together Building a United Community (TBUC) and an issue in prospect for the next Programme for Government. The questions posed by residential segregation are given a greater edge by the demographic changes experienced in Northern Ireland between 2001 and 2011. These have seen levels of residential segregation, as measured by statistical indicators, decrease. This decade also saw the continued ageing of the population and the rise of immigrant communities, with people from outside Ireland or Britain in a few concentrated areas. These factors all suggest that further consideration of the demographic context of Housing Executive estates – as well as more widely – is timely and necessary, both to provide a benchmark and also to indicate what remains unknown and what population questions require further investigation. This report accordingly starts by considering the context for residential segregation between 2001 and 2011 for Northern Ireland in general and also the twenty-six local government districts that provide a consistent basis for comparison between 2001 and 2011. It then discusses the data and method used. Following this, the report provides summary statistics on residential segregation in Housing Executive estates across Northern Ireland. It then concludes by surveying what is known, as well as highlighting what remains poorly understood. The report itself is kept brief, but detailed statistics by estate by district council (Appendix 1)provide empirical support for observations made in the text. 3 | Page [Mapping Residential Segregation in 2011: Estates Outside Belfast] 2.0 Data and methods Since the Housing Executive does not collect religion/community background information on its residents, the best available approach is to use grid-square data from the Census of Population as described by Shuttleworth and Lloyd (2007) to estimate estate populations by overlaying grid-square data with Housing Executive estate boundaries. This analysis used 100m counts, as these units can capture variations at a small spatial scale and they are also more likely to make better estimates of the individual characteristics of Housing Executive tenants in any given place. The Northern Ireland Grid Square Product, drawn from the Northern Ireland Census, facilitates the analysis of residential segregation at a small spatial scale on housing estates by providing data for very small spatial units. Unique to Northern Ireland, this resource provides univariate counts for a wide variety of Census variables for 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011, for 1 km cells and 100m cells for all Northern Ireland in 2001 and 2011, and for selected urban areas in earlier years. Full counts are not available for all variables for all areas. For 1971-2001, where cells contained less than eight households or 25 individuals, religion and community background counts, for instance, are suppressed to preserve confidentiality and only the total population and household counts are given. In 2011, the threshold was raised to 30 usual residents in 10 households. The housing estate boundaries were provided by the Housing Executive. These referenced all properties owned (or previously owned) by the Housing Executive and had already been captured in GIS format as XY point coordinates. Estate codes and estate names were attached to each address point and the estate polygons were digitised based on these characteristics. The process that was adopted to link 100m cells to Housing Executive estates was to allocate a 100m cell to an estate if its centroid fell within the boundary of that estate. For practical purposes, this method of matching the 100m data to Housing Executive estate boundaries was likely to be sufficient, but there may be a small minority of cases where 4 | Page [Mapping Residential Segregation in 2011: Estates Outside Belfast] population from a 100m cell was not allocated to an estate because its centroid lay outside the estate boundaries despite a substantial part of the cell lying within the estate. The findings should therefore be taken as showing overall patterns, trends, and structures. Also, because of the differing disclosure threshold in 2011 as compared

The Register is available for use by the public in the Commission’s office. Under the legislation, public authorities as specified by the Office of the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister are automatically treated as registered with the Commission. All other employers have a duty to register if they have more than 10 employees working 16 hours or more per week. Employers who meet the conditions for registration are given one month in which to apply for registration. This month begins from the end of the week in which the concern employed more than 10 employees in Northern Ireland. It is a criminal offence for such an employer not to apply for registration within this period. Persons who become employers in relation to a registered concern are also under a legal duty to apply to have their name and address entered on the Register within one month of becoming such an employer.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
