Council demands that following Stormont’s loan to UU for expansion in its North Belfast Campus, a similar financial support be made available to any new institutions in Derry. Councillor Gallagher to Move: That this Council posthumously awards the Freedom of Strabane to NHS nurse Pat McManus. Councillor Ferguson to Move: This Council recognises the need for active and green travel, and that all communities including our rural communities should have opportunities to avail of this. So this Council calls on the Department of Infrastructure, Department of Communities and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to work together with Derry City and Strabane District Council to commit to progress the next stage of the Strathfoyle Greenway. Councillor McKinney to Move: This Council writes to the DAERA Minister expressing concerns following the failure of the amendment to the Agricultural Bill 2019/20 on the protection of food standards in line with current EU standards. Our consumers should expect food that is imported to this country to be of the same high standards of animal welfare and environmental protection as expected of food producers in Northern Ireland. Importing food produced to low animal welfare and environmental standards to undercut our local farmers, is unacceptable. Alderman McCready to Move: This Council takes the position to support the Londonderry Port and Harbour’s pursuit of ‘Free Port’ status and communicates this to the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister and Ministers for the Departments of Infrastructure and the Economy. Councillor Reilly to Move: This Council writes to the Minster for Finance urging him to allow Local Authorities to be able to refinance existing loans from the Consolidated Fund on more favourable interest rate terms. Councillor Mellon to Move: That this Council recognises the concern and anxiety that exists among teaching and non-teaching staff as well as parents and young people in relation to the eventual reopening of schools; understands the challenges facing school boards and principals in keeping children and teachers safe while providing High quality education. This Council will write to the Minister for Education and state that we insist that any re-opening of schools should be based on scientific and medical advice consistent with that provided by World Health Organisation and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Council also calls on the Minister of Education to engage and consult extensively with education stakeholders as well as parents and young people in advance of the re-opening of schools and to provide them with clear and early guidance. Go n-aithníonn an Chomhairle an imní atá ar na foirne teagaisc agus neamhtheagaisc chomh maith le tuismitheoirí agus daoine óga maidir le hathoscailt scoileanna i ndeireadh báire. Tuigeann an Chomhairle na dúshláin atá roimh na boird scoile agus príomhoidí ag coinneáil páistí agus múinteoirí slán sábháilte le linn oideachas ardchaighdeáin a chur ar fáil chomh maith. Scríobhfaidh an Chomhairle seo chuig an Aire Oideachais agus luafaidh sí go n- éilíonn muid gur chóir athoscailt na scoileanna bheith bunaithe ar chomhairle eolaíochta agus leighis atá seasmhach leis an chomhairle a chuirfear ar fáil ón Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte agus an Lárionad Eorpach um Ghalair a Chosc agus a Rialú. Iarrann an Chomhairle seo ar an Aire Oideachais dul i gcomhairle agus i mbun comhrá go forleathan le páirtithe leasmhara oideachais chomh maith le tuismitheoirí agus daoine óga sula n-athosclaítear na scoileanna le treoir shoiléir agus luath a chur ar fáil dóibh. Councillor Durkan to Move: This Council notes the unique economic, social and political impact of Brexit on the North West of Ireland, across all sectors and communities. This Council further notes the additional immense challenges facing workers, businesses, citizens, families and communities as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This Council regards an extension to the said transition period, scheduled to end on 31 December 2020, to be essential to protect our economic interests, people’s rights and environmental standards. This Council welcomes the continuing regard for the interests and bespoke circumstances of this region demonstrated by the EU. This Council calls for the British Government to secure a reasonable extension of the current Brexit transition period for a reasonable period to enable local governments, businesses, citizens and communities to make necessary preparations. Go n-aithníonn an Chomhairle seo an tionchar eacnamaíoch, sóisialta agus polaitiúil atá ag an Bhreatimeacht ar an Iarthuaisceart fud fad gach earnáil agus pobal. Aithníonn an Chomhairle seo chomh maith na dúshláin mhillteanacha bhreise atá roimh oibrithe, ghnóthaí, shaoránaigh, theaghlaigh agus phobail mar gheall ar an phaindéim COVID-19. Breathnaíonn an Chomhairle seo go bhfuil an síneadh ama don idirthréimhse, atá beartaithe le críochnú ar an 31 Nollaig 2020, riachtanach lenár leasanna eacnamaíochta, cearta daoine agus caighdeáin thimpeallachta a chosaint. Fáiltíonn an Chomhairle seo roimh an mheas leanúnach a thugtar do na leasanna agus na cúinsí saincheaptha sa réigiún seo atá léirithe ag an AE. Iarrann an Chomhairle seo ar Rialtas na Breataine síneadh ama ar feadh tréimhse atá réasúnta a fháil don idirthréimhse Bhreatimeachta atá ann faoi láthair le rialtais áitiúla, gnóthaí, saoránaigh agus pobail a chur ar a gcumas na hullmhucháin riachtanacha a dhéanamh. Cllr Harkin to Move: Recently released statistics from the Department for Communities estimates that 92,000 children, 303,000 individuals, 176,000 working age people and 34,000 pensioners live in absolute poverty across the North. This represents an alarming increase in pre-Covid-19 deprivation. The yet to be calculated economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic will further impact the number of families and individuals facing deprivation in Derry and Strabane. This is already evident in the massive increase in the number of people in receipt of the not-fit-for purpose Universal Credit. Council agrees to invite a representative from the DfC and other anti-poverty groups to present on the scale of deprivation in the district. Council agrees to create an Emergency Poverty Working Group to establish how many people living in the Derry and Strabane Council District face increasing deprivation. Council agrees on the need to develop a response to increased levels of poverty. Council agrees to work with trade unions, antipoverty groups, community organisations and others to develop a Derry and Strabane District Emergency Poverty Action Plan. Councillor McCann to Move: Council condemns the action of the PSNI in disrupting the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest in Guildhall Square in Derry on 6 June by issuing fines and threatening court action against organisers and participants. This contrasted with the inaction of the PSNI in face of large gatherings on beaches and in major retail outlets over prior weeks. Council recognises that the role of the organisers, the North West Migrants’ Forum (NWMF), in striving to maintain social distancing was exemplary and that many other organisations and institutions in the council area could benefit from studying the disciplined way the NWMF set about arranging the event. Council rejects the expressed view of Justice Minister Naomi Long that the PSNI action was ‘proportionate.’ Council queries whether Ms. Long’s statement to this effect represents the unanimous view of the Executive. Council regrets that no explanation has been forthcoming of the significant disparity between the level of police action in Belfast and in Derry. Council notes that Amnesty and the Committee on the Administration of Justice have expressed concern about the way application of the regulations arising from the Covid-19 pandemic were altered on the evening prior to the Black Lives Matter protest, clearly suggesting

INTRODUCTION Over the past two years, a peace process has been initiated in Northern Ireland. In December 1993, the British and Irish Governments issued a joint (Downing Street) declaration offering Sinn Fein a place in negotiations on the future of Northern Ireland if the Irish Republican Army (IRA) called a permanent end to its campaign of violence.

  • TRADE UNIONISM and SECTARIANISM A1'k)NG DERRY SHIRT WORKERS 1920-1968 with Special Reference to the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers
    TRADE UNIONISM AND SECTARIANISM A1'K)NG DERRY SHIRT WORKERS 1920-1968 With Special Reference to the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Science, University of London. by Andrew Robert Finlay Department of Anthropology University College London 1989 BIRL LONDIN. UNIV. -1•- ABSTRACT The problem at the heart of this study is: to what extent and in what ways was the development of trade unionism in the Derry shirt industry influenced by sectarianism? This problem and my approach to it were elaborated in contradistinction to existing theories of trade unionism in Northern Ireland. According to the main theory, developed most cogently within traditional Irish marxism, trade unionism was thwarted by sectarianism. I suggest that this theory has more to do with the reductionist and evolutionist assumptions of its authors than with social reality and argue that the relationship between trade unionism and sectarianism Is better understood with an approach in which it is recognised that both of these institutions are constituted through the actions of concrete individuals who are themselves consituted by society, and in which priority is given to the meanings which individuals ascribe to their actions and predicaments. My- study is based on interviews with a sample of retired union officials and activists. My respondants were keenly aware of the Catholic-Protestant dichotomy, but, contrary to what traditional Irish marxists would lead one to expect, they did not regard sectarianism as a significant problem until the 1950s, My analysis of union growth and structure 1920-1952 largely confirmed this view: union densities compared favourably with clothing workers in Britain, and the main factors underlying fluctuations in membership were more or less the same as elsewhere in Britain.

    January 29, 2019 ! Historic day for Foyle Child Contact Centre ! Bishop Ken Good, Mrs Mary Good, the Mayor of Derry and Strabane District, Cllr John Boyle, and Lady Christine Eames at the official opening of the Foyle Child Contact Centre’s new premises. [email protected] Page !1 January 29, 2019 Lady Eames helped create a small piece of history in Londonderry last Friday afternoon when she opened the Foyle Child Contact Centre’s new premises in Londonderry – making it the first child contact centre in Northern Ireland to have sole use of its own premises. The new facility, in the Diamond, will provide a warm, welcoming environment in which children can spend quality time with a parent or other family member with whom they are not living. Foyle Child Contact Centre was set up in 2005 – with grant support from Mothers’ Union and the Church of Ireland Board of Social Responsibility – to meet the need for a safe, welcoming, neutral, child-centred facility. Since then it has been supported, too, by the Western Health and Social Care Trust. In the last 13 years, the centre has facilitated contact for 777 families and almost 2,000 children in the Salvation Army’s premises at John Street. Speaking at today’s opening, the chairperson of the Foyle CCC board, Jean Thompson, said the organisation was indebted to the Salvation Army for all it had done for the centre. Foyle CCC is delighted to have acquired its own new, neutral, secluded premises in the city centre, making it the first child contact centre in Northern Ireland to have sole use of its own leased premises.

  • Outline Age Friendly Strategy for the Derry City and Strabane District
    2016 - 2019 Outline Age Friendly Strategy for the Derry City and Strabane District Foreword As Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council I am very proud to support the Council’s ongoing commitment to make the City and District an Age Friendly place to live and visit. I am delighted that the implementation of a Strategy that places a good quality of life for older people, has been placed high on the Council’s agenda. By working collectively with all stakeholders and interested parties we can all do our part to ensure that this City and District is a great place to grow older. I am very supportive of this initiative and our combined efforts to make the Council area a place where you can grow older without any barriers to living a healthy and fulfilling life and where you feel you are a valued member of society. In order to make our Age Friendly Strategy work, we need the support of all stakeholders to ensure that they deliver what is needed to make our City and District Age Friendly. Older people are at the heart of our communities, they are our teachers and influencers, they have worked tirelessly over the years to make us who we are. We have a responsibility to nurture their contribution to society to capture their knowledge and share their pride and love for where they come from by doing all we can to reduce loneliness and social isolation and get them more involved in the community. Through this outline Strategy we hope to look at ways in which older people can have access to meaningful support, information and training and that we look at ways to eliminate the causes of inequality so that older people can have access to 2016 - 2019 an environment that they feel part of.

  • Briefing Paper for Derry City and Strabane District Council: Depaul Foyle Haven Day Centre Application for Funding 28Th April 17
    Briefing Paper for Derry City and Strabane District Council: Depaul Foyle Haven Day Centre application for funding 28th April 17 Depaul was established in 2002 in Ireland and 2005 in Northern Ireland and we are now a leading cross-border organisation. Our focus is upon those suffering homelessness and marginalisation, those who need vital support and the opportunity to realise their true potential. We offer support and guidance to break the cycle of homelessness, and assist our service users in making positive choices for their future. The Foyle Haven Centre evolved from a recognition that the number of street drinkers, increased drastically in the late 1990’s. In the year 2000, Paul Sheehy, a local community police sergeant and Sister Catherine Boyle who worked at the Derry Volunteer Bureau at the time, devoted themselves to the idea of setting up a drop in centre for street drinkers. On 10th December 2001, Foyle Haven, in John Street opened its doors to street drinkers. In 2011 in which Depaul took over full responsibility and management for the service. The amalgamation with Depaul has brought rigour and commitment to good practice in financial management, volunteer retention and recruitment and professional standards and this continues through the delivery of services to date. Foyle Haven is a professionally run day service which acts not only as a Haven for people avoiding street drinking but provides a suite of services aimed at preventing homelessness, reducing harm and promoting well-being. It is open 365 days a year from 9am-10pm Monday to Friday and 11am- 4pm at the weekends.
