Both were of huge assistance throughout the whole process. Martin was of great help in advising on international sporting splits, and inputting on the focus, outputs, structure and style of the thesis. Mike’s vast knowledge of Irish history and sporting history, and his ability to see history through many different perspectives were instrumental in shaping the thesis as far more than a sports history one. It was through conversations with Mike that the concept of looking at partition from many different viewpoints arose. I would like to thank Professor Oliver Rafferty SJ from Boston College for sharing his research on the Catholic Church, Dr Dónal McAnallen for sharing his research on the GAA and Dr Tom Hunt for sharing his research on athletics and cycling.

  • Community Relations Funding Through Local Councils in Northern Ireland
    Research and Information Service Briefing Paper Paper 18/15 28 November 2014 NIAR 716-14 Michael Potter and Anne Campbell Community Relations Funding through Local Councils in Northern Ireland 1 Introduction This paper briefly outlines community relations1 funding for groups through local councils in Northern Ireland in the context of the inquiry by the Committee for the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister into the Together: Building a United Community strategy2. The paper is a supplement to a previous paper, Community Relations Funding in Northern Ireland3. It is not intended to detail all community relations activities of local councils, but a summary is given of how funding originating in the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minster (OFMdFM) is used for grants to local organisations. 1 It is not within the scope of this paper to discuss terminology in relation to this area. The term ‘community relations’ has tended to be replaced by ‘good relations’ in many areas, although both terms are still in use in various contexts. ‘Community relations’ is used here for simplicity and does not infer preference. 2 ‘Inquiry into Building a United Community’, Committee for OFMdFM web pages, accessed 2 October 2014: http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/Assembly-Business/Committees/Office-of-the-First-Minister-and-deputy-First- Minister/Inquiries/Building-a-United-Community/. 3 Research and Information Service Briefing Paper 99/14 Community Relations Funding in Northern Ireland, 9 October 2014: http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/Documents/RaISe/Publications/2014/ofmdfm/9914.pdf. Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 716-014 Briefing Paper 2 Community Relations Funding in Local Councils Funding from OFMdFM is distributed to each of the councils at a rate of 75%, with the remaining 25% matched by the council itself.

The aim of the original pamphlet was to highlight the historical, cultural and sporting significance of the Bohemian Football Club during 120th anniversary celebrations in 2010. It was written with the intention to personalise the project to build Dalymount Park at a time when its very existence was under threat. The current ethos of Bohemian Football Club does not represent a radical new departure or obsession with emerging trends. Rather, a realignment with more ancient values which had ensured the club was able to adapt and thrive with every passing generation has taken place. Hopefully this edition serves to support that continued good work.
