Derry ~ Londonderry Northern Ireland Derry ~ Londonderry Trans/link The River is a divisive construct both in Derry~Londonderry and in Northern Ireland at large. Before the construction of the Foyle Bridge in the 1980s, the Carlisle Bridge was the only crossing, making the Foyle representative of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Even with the three current local Foyle crossings, the river acts as a distancing factor between the majority of the sectarian populations. 1922 The Irish Free State was formed under the Anglo-Irish treaty, and Northern Ireland removed itself from the new state. It was effectively a republic, but was officially made so in 1949. 1967 The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association was formed (NICRA). 1968 August The Battle of Bogside between the RUC and Bogside residents was one of the first major confrontations of the Troubles. October The first civil rights protest march happens in Derry/Londonderry. December The IRA splits, forming the hardliner Provisional IRA 1971 Internment is announced. The Troubles 1972 January Bloody Sunday ends in 14 civilian deaths as British troops fire on unarmed protesters. March Northern Ireland is governed from Westminster under Direct Rule. 1974 The Prevention of Terrorism Act allows police emergency powers to arrest and detain suspected IRA members for up to 7 days. 1976 Political prisoner status is revoked. 1980 Hunger strikes begin in prisons. 1981 Bobby Sands is the first to die of starvation from hunger strikes over the removal of Political Prisoner status. His death sparks a surge of PIRA recruitment and violence. 1985 The Anglo-Irish agreement gives the Irish government an advisory role in the ruling of Northern Ireland. 1861 in county Religious distributionby 1991 in county Religious distributionby according to2011census inNorthernIreland Religious identity according to2011census inNorthernIreland National identity 1993 Sinn Fein are offered a seat in parliament providing an IRA cease fire. 1994 IRA cease fire. 1996 The IRA resume the conflict during peace talks in Belfast. Protestant Catholic 1998 The Good Friday agreement is made in Belfast both as a multi-party agreement by Northern Irish political parties and as an international agreemnet between British and Irish governments. The Bloody Sunday Inquiry was established, which would eventually result in the Saville Report. Irish British 2001 The PIRA start decommissioning. Territorial Acts Republicans In the historically republican area of Bogside, formal murals surround Free Derry Corner, where the violence of Bloody Sunday culminated. Throughout the area, Irish Republican flags are prevalent, as well as the informal graffiti of the BRY (Bogside Republican Youth) and the RIRA. Loyalists The march of the Orange Order makes its way across the bridge and through the predominantly Loyalist area of the Fountain Estate. The residents have marked the streets with Union Jack colours and other Unionist symbols. Painting and marching have added significance in a city with political unease amongst sectarian populations, and it becomes instinctive to ‘claim’ land as one’s own through these territorial acts. Crossing the Wall The design is intended to introduce another point of access to the wall, at the point of two intersecting boundaries: that of the historic city wall, and that of the modern peace line separating the Fountain from an otherwise heavily republican west bank. The route activates the dead spaces of both the bastion and the adjacent green space, and by creating a link between the two encourages interaction with the programme.

Existing Physical Structures Interiors of existing buildings around Ebrington Square: Most are shells, stripped or derelict. The structure of the building at the centre of the walled site can be seen from photographs taken through the window. The precise detailing can only be guessed from these. It can be assumed that no great expense has been taken in insulating this building, since it has previously only been used for storage. It will therefore need to be replaced or at least altered Ebrington barracks, 1998 for inhabitation.

Both of these events have been remembered in a range of different ways and by particular sections of our communities over the last 100 years. These anniversaries present challenges as well as great opportunities. Looking back at the past together allows us to reflect on our shared history in a more holistic way. This proposed programme recognises that much can be learnt when we visit the past together and explore how these events have shaped our cultural heritage and identity. This programme includes the detailed content created for our 1916: Untold Stories exhibition and a list of events which will take place over the coming months to explore a range of themes that relate to the year 1916. Our wider programme also includes a dedicated schools programme aimed at giving students the opportunity to look back at the key events using the 1916: Untold Stories exhibition.

  • Crossing Derry Crossing Water Always Furthered Something
    Simpson.qxd 17/10/2013 09:41 Page 63 63 Crossing Derry Crossing water always furthered something When quoting this line by Seamus Heaney, Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister, registered several points. He was speaking in Derry at a party for volunteers in Fleadh 2013, the all Ireland music festival which was held Tony Simpson ‘north of the border’ for the first time and had attracted some 400,000 visitors to the city during five days in August. Heaney had died a few days after the Fleadh (pronounced ‘fla’), on 30 August. His loss is keenly felt in Derry, where he attended St Columb’s College as a boarder during his early teenage years. There his passion for poetry and flair for Latin and the classics were nurtured. From a small farm in Mossbawn in south County Derry, he had won a scholarship to St Columb’s, courtesy of the 1947 Education in Northern Ireland Act, passed by the Labour Government of the day, as Heaney himself once remarked. Mr McGuinness was acknowledging Seamus Heaney’s profound contribution to civilization and culture, while also addressing Derry’s divisions and how they are being overcome, literally, by the construction of the new Peace Bridge across the River Foyle. He was speaking a few days after visiting Warrington in the north of England, where he had given the peace lecture which we publish in this issue of The Spokesman. Two boys, twelve- years-old Tim Parry and three-years-old Johnathan Ball, had been killed in an IRA bombing in the town in 1993.

This is especially the case in the city of Derry/Londonderry, where media reported on a car bomb on 19 January 2019, its explosion almost killing five passer-by’s. Only three months later, during Easter, the death of young journalist Lyra McKee shocked the world. International media link these stories to one event that has attracted the eyes of the world: Brexit, and the looming hard border between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
