(AQW 2148/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness (The First Minister and deputy First Minister): The Fair Employment and Treatment (NI) Order 1998 makes discrimination on grounds of religious belief unlawful in the fields of employment, education, training, goods, facilities and services and premises. However, this legislation does not apply to membership of private clubs. Provisions of Employment Legislation Mr Allister asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, in light of their responsibility for equality, whether they have any plans to cause a review of the provisions of employment legislation which means that teachers in schools are not protected in employment against discrimination on the grounds of religious belief. (AQW 5441/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The Fair Employment and Treatment (NI) Order 1998 makes discrimination on grounds of religious belief unlawful in the fields of employment, education, training, goods, facilities and services and premises. The legislation does not, however, apply to the recruitment of teachers (Article 71). Responsibility for the underlying policy in relation to the teachers’ exemption and whether or not it is to be retained, modified or abolished rests with the Department of Education. OFMDFM would not envisage making any amendments to this section of the Fair Employment and Treatment Order without the full involvement of the Department of Education on the underlying policy. Therefore, OFMDFM is not planning a review. However, we understand that the Department of Education has recently undertaken a review of recruitment opportunities in the teaching sector and this will shortly be submitted to the Minister of Education. Play and Leisure Policy Mrs Overend asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the implementation of the Play and Leisure Policy since March 2011. (AQW 6817/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: Since March 2011 we have engaged fourteen councils to establish play and leisure strategic partnerships to ensure a joined-up approach to the planning and WA 1 Friday 24 February 2012 Written Answers commissioning of play and leisure services to meet the needs of local children, and we are currently engaging with the other twelve councils. We have additionally delivered seminars on risk-taking in play and on shaping communities to be play and child friendly; and invested in exemplar projects across council areas on new and innovative play areas. Independent Economic Advice Mr Lunn asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the process that is in place for the Executive to receive independent economic advice, compared to that of the Scottish Government and the Welsh Assembly Government. (AQW 7272/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: When independent economic advice is sought by Executive Ministers, it is obtained through the normal procurement process consistent with Central Procurement Directorate public procurement policy. Key considerations would involve the application of appropriate eligibility and selection criteria, including value for money, level of expertise, relevance and experience reflecting the specific requirements of the tender. Departmental economists provide advice to departments in support of investment appraisal, policy formulation, implementation and evaluation. In addition, the Minister of Enterprise, Trade & Investment commissioned the Independent Review of Economic Policy (IREP) in 2009, to undertake a root and branch assessment of how DETI supports business in Northern Ireland. The independent panel was chaired by Professor Richard

  • Ireland's Alternative Press: Writing from the Margins
    Ireland's Alternative Press: Writing from the Margins Lance Pettit Introduction [Alternative media are those that] avowedly reject or challenge established and institutionalised politics, in the sense that they all advocate change in society, or at least a critical assessment of traditional values.[...] Often founded to campaign on one particular issue, alternative media face considerable problems of survival, given their tendency to be under-financed, and unattractive to advertisers and the mass commercial market.(O'Sullivan, 1994: 10) Given the relative scarcity of published sources on the press in Ireland, it is perhaps not surprising that there is little writing on alternative publications. An Phoblacht/Republican News (AP) Gay Community News (GCN) and The Big Issues (BI) might appear to exemplify O'Sullivan's definition of 'alternative media'. This article provides an examination of the term using examples that are specific to the social and political context of Ireland in the 1990s. The material presented here is largely based on three, hour-long interviews carried out with the editors in October 1996. Table 1 below provides some key facts about the publications for reference and comparison. The aim of this article is to understand these publications in relation to, and indicators of, the wider cultural dynamic of contemporary Ireland and its mainstream press. Table 1.

  • Your Donegal Family
    YOUR DONEGAL FAMILY A GUIDE TO GENEALOGY SOURCES CULTURE DIVISION, DONEGAL COUNTY COUNCIL Donegal County Museum Collection The information contained in this publication was correct at the time of going to print. May 2020 A GUIDE TO TRACING YOUR DONEGAL ANCESTORS | 3 Genealogy is the study of one’s ancestors or family history and is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Genealogy makes history come alive because when people learn about their ancestors, they are able to make connections to historical events. Family History is the biographical research into your ancestors. The aim is typically to produce a well-documented narrative history, of interest to family members and perhaps future generations. It involves putting flesh on the skeleton of what is produced by genealogy and involves the study of the historical circumstances and geographical situation in which ancestors lived. As custodians of the collective memory of County Donegal, genealogy/ family history resources are an important Culture Division service. This booklet was produced by the Library, Archives and Museum Services of the Culture Division, Donegal County Council to provide a brief introduction to resources available within these services and to other resources and agencies that can help to guide researchers in tracing their Donegal family tree. While Donegal County Library, Donegal County Archives and the Donegal County Museum are happy to provide guidance and assistance, they are not genealogical institutions and in general they cannot conduct detailed research for individuals. A GUIDE TO TRACING YOUR DONEGAL ANCESTORS | 3 Beginning your Research o begin, try to establish as accurately and completely as possible the basic Tgenealogical facts of as many of your near relatives as you can: .
