(AQW 1675/09) Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister (Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness): Section 75(1) of the NI Act 1998 imposes a general statutory duty on all public authorities (as defined under section 75(3)). This duty requires a public authority to have due regard for the need to promote equality of opportunity in the discharge of all its functions. The Executive has previously stated its commitment to observing this statutory duty. Further detailed enforcement duties also arise under Schedule 9 of the Act, which is given effect by Section 75(4). Various remedies are available to any citizen or group asserting any failure to comply with either the general statutory duty in Section 75(1) or the detailed enforcement duties in Schedule 9. It is important to note that the Lillian Ladele case has since been successfully appealed at the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Since it is a case outside this jurisdiction it will have persuasive but not binding authority here. It is an example of the way in which the Courts balance competing interests (in this case between someone who had a conscientious objection to officiating at civil partnerships between couples of the same sex on the one hand and the rights of those couples to enter into a civil partnership on the other). A Court in Northern Ireland may or may not adopt the same approach in corresponding circumstances. Under domestic and European legislation each case would be decided in the light of the particular issues and facts involved. Training for Women Network Ms J McCann asked the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister for the reasons for the delay in the Peace III application submitted by the Training for Women Network which was approved by the Special European Union Programmes Body in August 2008. (AQW 3678/09) Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister: Following the approval from SEUPB it was necessary to ensure the project complied with government accounting requirements. This has been completed and Departmental approval of the Training for Women Network was given just before Christmas. A formal Letter of Offer was issued to Training for Women Network on 22 December 2008 by the Special European Union Programmes Body. Child Poverty Mr S Gardiner asked the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister how many children deemed as living in child poverty are residing in; (i) homes with a single parent; (ii) homes with two parents but only one parent working; and (iii) homes with two unemployed parents. (AQW 4989/09) WA 1 Friday 13 March 2009 Written Answers Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister: There are three measurements of poverty – relative, absolute and mixed. Relative income poverty describes families living below 60% of the median wage. It is estimated that the number of children in relative income poverty living in: (i) lone parent families is around 40,900 (ii) couple families with only one parent working is around 12,400 (iii) couple families with both not in work is around 16,500 The remainder of those children in poverty live in families with both parents working; this number is estimated to be around 21,100. These figures have been sourced from the Households Below Average Income, NI, 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07. Because of the small numbers in the survey for this analysis it has been necessary to combine the three years of data. Ministerial Subcommittee on Poverty and Social Exclusion Mr T Elliott asked the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister when will the first meeting of the Ministerial Subcommittee on poverty and social exclusion take place; and what will the agenda be. (AQW 5127/09) Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister: We propose to hold the first meeting of the Executive Sub-Committee on Poverty and Social Inclusion on 26 March 2009. An agenda for this first meeting is still to be agreed. The Executive Sub-Committee will be responsible for agreeing the priorities and key Executive actions for tackling poverty and social inclusion here and also agreeing the monitoring and reporting mechanisms associated with the ‘Lifetime Opportunities’ Anti-Poverty Strategy. Once the Executive Sub-Committee has met, we would intend to convene a first meeting of the re-established Ministerially-led Poverty and Social Inclusion Stakeholder Forum. Cost of Trips and Ministerial Visits Mr A Attwood asked the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the total (i) travel;

  • Single Jurisdiction in Northern Ireland
    Single Jurisdiction in Northern Ireland. Background The Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service public consultation "Redrawing the Map: A Consultation on Court Boundaries in Northern Ireland” contained proposals to replace the current rigid statutory framework of court boundaries for County Courts and magistrates’ courts with a single jurisdiction within Northern Ireland underpinned by more flexible administrative arrangements. Stakeholders broadly welcomed the proposals. Single Jurisdiction reforms will be implemented on 31 October 2016. The legislation to give effect to the single jurisdiction is contained in Part 1 of the Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2015. Under the new arrangements, the jurisdiction of county courts and magistrates courts will no longer be determined by reference to County Court Divisions and Petty Sessions Districts. Instead these courts will exercise jurisdiction throughout Northern Ireland, similar to the way in which the Crown Court already operates. New Administrative Court Divisions The existing divisional structure will simultaneously be replaced with three new Administrative Court Divisions (ACDs). These Divisions will not define jurisdiction but rather will determine the area in which court business will ‘usually’ be heard. The three ACDs are:- North Eastern Division South Eastern Division Western Division. A map illustrating the geographical make-up of these Divisions has been attached at Annex A. Page 1 of 20 Although the legislation provides that different ACDs may be created for different types of court business (e.g. police or Public Prosecution Service boundaries for criminal business; Health Trust boundaries for family business) there will in the first instance be one single configuration of ACDs based on combinations of the eleven Local Government Districts for Northern Ireland.
