It is whether or not the Education Budget Bill: Consideration Stage Minister misled the House in a statement that he made on 4 February, when, in response to a Mr Speaker: I call the Minister of Finance and topical question, he said: Personnel, Mr Hamilton, to move the Consideration Stage of the Budget Bill.

Mr Speaker: That concludes the Consideration Stage of the Budget Bill. The Bill stands Mr Speaker: The Member and other Members referred to the Speaker. will know that, on 26 January 2009, I made a very firm ruling that the Chair does not have any role in, and certainly does not sit in judgement on, how a Minister might answer a question in the House. However, I can understand the frustration of Members when they feel that they are not getting the appropriate answer from Ministers to their questions. I encourage the Member to pursue the matter through further questions to the Minister or through the Committee structures. There are a number of avenues that Members can use to pursue Ministers if they feel very strongly that they have not got a satisfactory answer. 1 Monday 17 February 2014 Public Safety; family-support hubs, led by the Committee Business Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety; and the community family- Delivering Social Change: Signature support programme, led by the Department for Programmes Employment and Learning.

    A process of analysis (1) The Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist community Compiled by Michael Hall ISLAND 107 PAMPHLETS 1 Published February 2015 by Island Publications / Farset Community Think Tanks Project 466 Springfield Road, Belfast BT12 7DW © Michael Hall 2015 [email protected] http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications cover photographs © Michael Hall The Project wishes to thank all those who participated in the discussions and interviews from which this publication was compiled. This first part of a three-part project has received financial support from The Reconciliation Fund Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Dublin. Printed by Regency Press, Belfast The Island Pamphlets series was launched in 1993 to stimulate a community-wide debate on historical, cultural, political and socio-economic issues. Most of the pamphlets are edited accounts of discussions undertaken by small groups of individuals – the ‘Community Think Tanks’ – which have embraced (on both a ‘single identity’ and a cross-community basis) Loyalists, Republicans, community activists, women’s groups, victims, cross-border workers, ex-prisoners, young people, senior citizens and others. To date 106 titles have been produced and 190,400 pamphlets have been distributed at a grassroots level. Many of the titles are available for (free) download from http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications. 2 Introduction Sixteen years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement issues surrounding identity, marching and flags in Northern Ireland remain as contentious as ever. These unresolved matters have poisoned political discourse and at times threatened to destabilise the political institutions. Even the Stormont House Agreement (announced in the final days of 2014) in which Northern Ireland’s political parties reached a belated consensus on a range of financial and legacy matters, once again pushed any discussion of identity-related issues further into the future.

  • Letter to the Negotiating Table
    13th May 2014, Washington, London, Dublin and Belfast NEGOTIATING COMMITTEES, HAVANA Humberto de la Calle and other members of the Negotiating Committee of the Government of Colombia Iván Márquez and other members of the Negotiating Committee of the FARC-EP Dear Members of the Negotiating Table, We, the undersigned elected representatives, write to express our support for the Colombian peace process currently taking place in Havana, Cuba. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate both the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia for having entered into negotiations and initiating a process that we hope reaches a successful conclusion of peace with social justice leading to the end of Colombia’s almost 50 year armed conflict. We congratulate both sides on the historic agreements made so far and recognise the commitment of both sides to staying at the negotiating table and encourage you to stay there until a final agreement has been made. It is our firm belief that the only route to bring an effective and long-lasting peace to Colombia is through dialogue and compromise and we urge both parties to continue in this momentous endeavour regardless of the future difficulties that may arise. We encourage you to consider the possibility of a ceasefire and to take the necessary measures to minimise the humanitarian cost of the conflict and guarantee the safety of civil society. We applaud the efforts made to include the views of civil society and we hope that this participation will be deepened and extended as the process continues. As politicians, some of whom have been involved in other peace processes, we are firmly committed to supporting the peace talks.

  • 2Declaration European Call for Democracy In
    1 DECLARATION: European Call for Democracy in Catalonia 20th of December 2017 We, members of Parliaments in European countries, express our deepest concern regarding the current situation in Catalonia. In light of the dismissal of the democratically elected Catalan government and the later imprisonment of ministers and leaders of civil society organizations, we call on the Spanish government to cease in this excessive use of force. Furthermore, we call on the Spanish government and on the international society to ensure the upcoming election for the regional Parliament in Catalonia be held in a democratic manner free from undue interference from the Spanish government. We express our wish that the imprisoned minister and leaders of civil society organizations be released and we urge the Spanish government to avoid further use of force and engage in political dialogue with the regional government elected by the Catalans.
