A Preliminary Report on the 1971 Census was published in October, 1971, and contained a brief statistical commentary and provisional figures of the population, private dwellings and private households for all local authority areas (counties, county boroughs, municipal boroughs, urban and rural districts) and population figures for small towns and villages with 50 or more houses but having no defined boundaries. 2. County Reports There will be reports for each of the Counties of Fermanagh, Tyrone, Londonderry (including Londonderry County Borough), Armagh Down, Antrim and the County Borough of Belfast. The tables give figures for counties, local authority areas, wards, district electoral divisions and towns and villages with 50 or more houses. The subjects covered are population and area (hectares); sex* age and marital condition; birthplace; religion; private dwellings, households, tenure and amenities; private motor cars and garaging; economically active persons and their sex and occupational status. 3. Summary Tables Summary Tables will give summaries of the information contained in the County Reports for Northern Ireland. Additionally, this report will give statistics covering the same subjects included in the County Reports for the new local authority areas which will come into being in 1973. 4. Housing and Household Composition Tables The Housing Tables will contain tabulations, not covered by the County Reports, on dwellings, households, tenure, household amenities, cars and garaging. Most tables will refer to Northern Ireland but some tables will include figures for local authority areas. The Household Composition Tables will provide information on the composition and social and economic characteristics of households. 5. Economic Activity Tables The Economic Activity Tables will give statistics of the occupied population based on their personal occu­ pation and the employed population classified according to the branches of industry in which they are employed with reference to age, marital condition, employment status, socio-economic group, etc. Most tables will refer to Northern Ireland but some tables will cover local authority areas. 6. Workplace and Transport to Work Tables These tables will contain details of the resident population and the population employed in each area, the main workplace movements from one area to another and the main means of transport to work used for such movements. 7. Migration Tables These tables will give statistics of the numbers and characteristics of people who changed their usual residence in the year or in the five years before Census day with details of their age, sex, marital condition, area of previous residence; and of the number and characteristics of migrant households. 8. Religion Tables The Religion Tables will give, by the main religious denominations, details of the people by sex, age, marital condition, occupation, industry and socio-economic group; and the numbers and characteristics of households. 9. Education Tables These tables will give details of the age, sex, occupation and industry of those people who had obtained any academic or vocational qualification and details of the type level and subject of the qualification held. 10. Fertility Tables The Fertility Tables will give statistics derived from information supplied for married women under 60 years of age at Census about the date of marriage and the number and spacing of children born alive to them in marriage v FART 1 Explanatory Notes and Definitions of Terms used in Hie Report Area (hectares) The figures, which have been supplied by the Ordnance Survey, relate to the various administrative and other divisions as constituted at the date of 1971 Census. Foreshore is excluded. The extent of areas covered by the large rivers, lakes and tideways are also excluded from the body of Table 4, but the total is given in a footnote thereto. A hectare is equivalent to 2.471 acres. Population The 1971 Census population comprises all living persons, irrespective of their usual address or nationality, who spent census night in the area of enumeration. Members of the Armed Forces (including those of Common­ wealth and foreign countries except personnel aboard foreign naval vessels) are included. Persons travelling on census night were enumerated with the population of the district in which they arrived the next day unless they had already been enumerated elsewhere. Persons on vessels at moorings or anchorages in Northern Ireland waters or on board ships on coastwise voyages to Northern Ireland ports were counted as part of the population of the district containing the mooring, anchorage or arrival port. (The enumerated population excludes persons who, although usually resident in the area, spent census night elsewhere. People on night work were regarded as present in their homes for census purposes). Population figures for the 1961 and 1966 Censuses are adjusted to relate to areas as constituted at the date of the 1971 Census. Figures for earlier censuses relate, generally, to areas as constituted at the respective census dates. Dwellings Dwellings are classified on the basis of instructions issued to the Census enumerators and which are summarised as follows: Dwellings were normally private dwelling houses, bungalows, including prefabricated bungalows provided by a local authority, or flats with independent access to the street or to a common staircase or hall. Where houses or other buildings had been adapted to provide residential accommodation in smaller units, these smaller units were regarded as dwellings if they were structurally separate, i.e., if such a unit had a seperate front door to the street, or if access to the main door was gained by means of a common staircase or landing. In order for such a unit to count ^s a dwelling it also had to be self-contained, allowing movement between its rooms internally without making use of the common staircase or landing, and the household arrangements, viz., kitchen, bathroom and water closet were not shared with the occupants of another unit of accommodation in the building. Bed-sitting rooms (sometimes called flatlets) were not counted as separate dwellings. An occupied dwelling is one in which at least one household was enumerated on census night. An occupier absent dwelling is one in which at least one household usually, or occasionally, lives but was absent on census night. A vacant dwelling was one which was fit or ready for habitation but was awaiting occupancy—this type ol dwelling would invariably be unfurnished. Derelict or uninhabitable dwellings were ignored by the census enumerators. Separate dwellings within non-private establishments In these premises if a group of people were regarded as forming a private household their accommodation was regarded as constituting a dwelling even if it was not structurally separate and had access to the street only through the hotel, hospital, etc. Houses attached to hotels, hospitals, etc., were only regarded as dwellings if they were occupied by private households; if occupied by hotel guests or hospital patients they were counted as part of the non-private

  • The Lord Morrow of Clogher Valley MLA
    The Lord Morrow of Clogher Valley MLA Legal Counsel The Electoral Commission 3 Burnhill Row London EC1Y 8YZ 10th March 2015 Dear Sir/Madam In line with the Electoral Commission’s policy, this is notification to appeal the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland to close Moygashel Polling Station, in the constituency of Fermanagh-South Tyrone. This decision will undoubtedly result in fewer people voting at a time when the electorate are being urged to use their franchise. It also demonstrates differential treatment in this constituency. A polling station, in a predominately nationalist area, in which electoral staff were intimidated in keeping open longer than it should, has been was never subject to the sanction proposed for Moygashel. The Chief Electoral Officer’s decision is I believe irrational, unreasonable and discriminatory, and will result in voter suppression in what is the most marginal Westminster constituency in Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom. Michelle Gildernew MP has led a campaign for the closure of this Polling Station. It should be remembered that she holds the seat of Fermanagh-South Tyrone by a mere four votes and only after a re-court (having lost the first count). The closure of this Polling Station in a predominantly Unionist community and transfer of voting to a more distant and inappropriate site, is to push down the Unionist vote in the constituency. An Act of Voter Suppression Part of Sinn Fein’s campaign involved making a series of claims and accusations about events at the polling stations. A number of these allegations fell when subjected to the scrutiny of a court of law.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution.

The ERDF budget for the overall INTERREG project is EUR 359 million. The Environment theme will receive a proportion of this funding. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate what information is currently available within NI Environment Agency (NIEA) and ROI Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist with project proposals for river restoration schemes and integrated catchment management actions (including groundwater). This will save applicants duplicating studies already completed, while proposing additional types of information that can be collected. The report will provide information on the failing Water Framework Directive (WFD) quality elements for parts of the system. In addition there are impact assessments to guide how improvements may be progressed to meet WFD 2023 result indicator targets for INTERREG V. Any works to be carried out should be in line with current licensing and regulations1. The example given below is for the Blackwater Catchment.
