    1869.] Local Government Acts Extension. 97 rick were last year successfully brought under its operations, and as its provisions are better understood, I am confident they will be more generally applied. I do not see any very important distinction between the deepening of a lengthened river course and the construc- tion of a tramway or a railway extension, as far as parliamentary powers are concerned. I have been one of those who confidently asserted many years ago, as I do now, that railways should, in the advance of civilization and scientific improvement, be regarded as nothing more than common highways, differing from them only in cost and carefulness of construction, and the exclusive purposes to which their peculiar characteristics require them to be applied. For these peculiar features the legislature can easily provide, and 1 hope in our time to see their civilizing influences more easily attain- able by the removal of those barriers which now render their adop- tion so costly and so difficult, and that this desirable result will be attained by the total abolition of the present tedious and expensive ordeal of Private Bill Legislation. The limits which the rules of this Society, and regard for the feel- ings of my auditory, impose upon me, have prevented me from going at greater length into this branch of the subject, but I hope I have not trespassed too much on your patience, in attracting your atten- tion to a subject which I feel to be one of the greatest possible im- portance to this part of the United Kingdom.

Introduction None of the early Corporation records survive among the present documents, all of which date from after 1855 when the Town Commissioners were established.Some of these earlier records may be included amongst the Lismore and Chatsworth papers. When the Old Narket House in Lower Main Street was sold by the Duke of Devonshire in 1861 other records may have been destroyed as the first floor of this building housed the Corporation rooms. A note in the Minutes dated April 1885 records that Edmond Keohan and and other Commissioners were to 'examine and class the papers in the office, to take proper steps for their preservationf.It is not clear whether these papers included any pre 1855 documents. There are several references throughout the minutes to the Letter Books, unfortunately these have not survived which is a great pity as they included letters from notable personalities and political figures. It is thought that other records were destroyed in the 1950s during an over enthusiastic clean out of the Town Hall in Friary Street. However some documents may have escaped destruction over the years and are now in private hands.

  • Power Sharing, Negotiated Settlements and the Logic
    REBELS WITH A CAUSE: POWER SHARING, NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENTS AND THE LOGIC OF PREEMPTIVE DEFECTION By Chelsea Blake Johnson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Associate Professor Leonardo R. Arriola, Chair Associate Professor Jason Wittenberg Assistant Professor Aila Matanock Professor Ann Swidler Fall 2015 © Copyright by Chelsea Blake Johnson 2015 All Rights Reserved Abstract Rebels with a Cause: Power Sharing, Negotiated Settlements, And the Logic of Preemptive Defection By Chelsea Blake Johnson Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Leonardo R. Arriola, Chair Why are some negotiated settlements successful at resolving intrastate conflict, while others fail? Are settlements involving agreement to share power more effective and, if so, why have conclusions about power sharing been so mixed? I theorize in this project that power-sharing guarantees improve the prospects for a peaceful settlement by reducing the stakes of winning post-conflict elections, thereby increasing the likelihood that rebels will willingly demobilize. Contrary to the preeminent model of bargaining for peace in the literature, I posit that the costs of complying with a negotiated settlement are asymmetrical. For rebels, compliance means forfeiting military capacity and bargaining power. In contrast, the government never concedes its monopoly on the use of force and, therefore, always retains the option of resorting to military action. Given this, and the risk of competing against an entrenched incumbent with an electoral advantage, it is a rational strategy for rebels to resist demobilization until expectations of future benefits are sufficiently high.

  • 2021 03 15 Northern Ireland Brewery
    Dear Janice, The Licensing and Registration of Clubs (Amendment) Bill has the potential to greatly enhance the local economy through creating legislation that is fit for purpose for local producers. To that end, when providing our views to the Committee, we presented compelling evidence in favour of Taprooms. It is my understanding that the Department for Communities should act on an impartial basis, based on the evidence they have gathered, and the evidence that has been presented at Committee. Unfortunately, at the last meeting of the Communities Committee (held on 11 March, 2021), Mr Liam Quinn (Head of Social Policy Unit at the Department for Communities) gave evidence which may have misled the Committee. He told the Committee on multiple occasions that when the Bill was at Committee stage in 2016, local producers did not ask for or request taprooms and that taprooms were not mentioned. This is something that the Vice- Chair remarked surprise on. I have attached the Hansard record for the Committee session in 2016, in which the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and Lacada Brewery both specifically asked for taprooms to be included in the Bill. I have also attached the written evidence submitted by Bullhouse Brewing Company in 2016 in which on-site consumption is asked for, as well as written evidence from 2016 provided by CAMRA which also asks for taprooms. In my role as a member of the Northern Ireland Brewery and Independent Pub Association (NIBIPA), I met with Mr Quinn on Wednesday, 10th April 2019 along with Owen Scullion (Hilden Brewery). At that meeting, Mr Quinn told us in no uncertain terms that breweries would not be allowed to operate taprooms ‘in a million years as the pubs would not allow it.' It appears that the Department is taking a very strong anti-taproom stance, and is prepared to mislead the Committee in order to prevent taprooms being legislated for in this Bill.

  • 'The Member for Lisburn – French, Not
    ‘THE MEMBER FOR LISBURN – FRENCH, NOT ENGLISH’ Dennis Kennedy Presidential address to the Belfast Literary Society, 2 October 2006 Many towns in Ireland have a clear historical identification with one dominant landlord family, today usually embodied in street names more than in any other personal or proprietorial link. Belfast has the Chichesters and the allied Donegall name. Bangor has the Wards, Newtownards the Stewart/Londonderry/Castlereagh family, Ballymena the Adairs, Lurgan the Brownlows, and so on. Lisburn’s historic connection has been with the Hertford dynasty – the Seymour-Conway family – the overwhelmingly dominant landlords until the end of the 19th century. There is still, in the town, a Seymour Street and a Conway Street, and there was, and may still be, a pub called the Hertford Arms, but the name most associated with Lisburn is not Hertford, or Seymour or Conway, but Wallace. There is Wallace Park, the town’s park, also home of the once invariably triumphant Lisburn Cricket Club; there is Wallace Avenue, and there is Wallace High School. There is the Wallace memorial in Castle Gardens, and there are also at least two remaining Wallace drinking fountains. The Wallace in question is not a dynasty or even a family, but one individual, Sir Richard Wallace, who never lived in Lisburn, who visited it probably not more than seven or eight times, and whose connection with it was, in a sense, accidental, and lasted for less than two decades.
