  • Heritage Presbyterian Church in Ireland Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland Spring 2019
    Heritage Presbyterian Church in Ireland Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland Spring 2019 Hello and welcome! You are holding a magazine that deals with history! But please don’t let that frighten you. Sadly for many the thought of history revives old school nightmares of memorising names and dates. This is different. This is history as a story – HIS story. The story Christ working through the church of the church, particularly the story of Presbyterianism in Ireland. That story can be read quickly and superficially if that is what you want, or parts can be studied in more depth if you have an interest in a particular subject or era. Presbyterianism in Ireland is dated from 1613 when the Rev Edward Brice from Dunbarton in Scotland, came to Broadisland (Ballycarry). However there were Presbyterians in Dublin before that, especially in Trinity College. So there is a good, long history which has taken many twists and turns since then. There are many surprises, and not a few disappointments, not to mention scandals. These all go into the mix that makes us who we are today. Stubborn, radical, straight-laced? Perhaps at times, but much, much more. It is a story worth telling and hearing, and the Society wants to tell it and wants you to hear it. The idea of Heritage is to give you a flavour of that story by retelling the story of past events and people, giving you information, or helping you find more information. In other words while we want to make the story more accessible, the main component in all of this is YOU.

  • Landfill Tax in the UK: Barriers to Increased Effectiveness and Options for the Future
    Landfill Tax in the United Kingdomi Author: Tim Elliott (Eunomia) Brief summary of the case The UK landfill tax was introduced in 1996 in order to better reflect the environmental costs of landfilling. The aim was therefore both to reduce the overall levels of waste produced and to send less waste to landfill. The tax has two bandings: inert waste, currently levied at GBP 2.65 (EUR 2.96) per tonne, and non-inert waste, currently levied at GBP 84.40 (EUR 94.21) per tonne, originally at GBP 7 per tonne.1 When the tax was first introduced, it received wide- spread support from industry, local authorities and NGOs. This was a result of the original intention for the tax to be revenue-neutral by offsetting a reduction in national Insurance Contributions. Furthermore, operators of landfill sites can offset up to 6% of their annual tax by contributing to environmental bodies under the Landfill Communities Fund. Annual revenues have risen from GBP 400 million in 1997/98 to a peak of GBP 1.2 billion in 2013/14, while revenues in 2015/16 were GBP 900 million (EUR 1 billion). The tax has had a significant impact on the quantity of waste sent to landfill: in 2001/02, 50 million tonnes annually were sent to landfill. In 2015/16, the same figure was around 12 million tonnes. A consultation exercise with industry was conducted ahead of the introduction of the tax. A key outcome of this consultation was the banding of the tax into inert and non-inert wastes and the change from an ad valorem structure to a weight-based tax.

    Jim Harra Chief Executive and Permanent Secretary Meg Hillier MP 2/75 Chair, Committee of Public Accounts 100 Parliament Street House of Commons London London SW1A 2BQ SW1A 0AA Tel 03000 585842 Ema il [email protected] 2 February 2021 Dear Chair, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has been working towards providing a simple, fairer and more consistent set of working arrangements and pay system for our employees. The reform of HMRC’s working arrangements and pay is long overdue. Largely as a result of the merger of HM Customs and Excise and the Inland Revenue in 2005, we currently have a complex array of different contracts, terms, conditions and entitlements across HMRC. These arrangements have increasingly restricted our ability to respond to the changing needs of the public we serve, whilst also generating additional costs for HMRC. Currently two thirds of HMRC colleagues are at the bottom of the pay range and we don’t want to be a living wage employer, where we have to increase pay each April to keep in step with the National Living Wage. We also have an array of working arrangements, with colleagues on different contracts, which do not always meet the needs of the Department and our customers. Last July, Ministers agreed that we should enter negotiations with the trade unions to resolve these longstanding contractual problems as part of a wider pay settlement for our staff. In the negotiations, we focused on the things that our colleagues told us matter most: a good pay offer, a permanent fix to the issues with our current pay system and, critically, changes to make our working arrangements fairer and simpler, while giving us greater flexibility to deploy our workforce to meet customers’ needs.

  • The Registry Books Are Approximately
    THETHE REGISTRYREGISTRY BOOKSBOOKS Page 2 Clifton Street Cemetery One of the most historically interesting facets of any burying ground are, without doubt, its registry books. Although the New Burying Ground was opened in 1797, it was not until 1831 that the Belfast Charitable Society began to keep a registry of all interments. It is unknown why they did not keep a registry from the beginning, but one reason may be that they were more interested in making money to finance the poor-house through the selling of the graves, than to worry about recording who was being buried in them. However at a meeting held in the poor-house on the 18th of December 1830 it was: Resolved -that a registry of all the interments in the Burying Ground of the Charitable Society be kept from the commencement of the next year, and that the Rev. Messrs Macartney and Hicks be requested to have a suitable book prepared for the purpose. The first burial recorded was on the 4th of January, 1831. However, the exact number of people buried in the burying ground before that will never be known. At a rough estimate it could be guessed that around 3,600 burials could have taken place before 1831. That is if up to 100 people had been buried per year, which was below the average amount of burials taking place throughout the 1830s. The figures shown in the three volumes of the registry books are approximately: Volume 1 1831-1841, 2,640 Volume 2 1841-1864, 5,489 Volume 3 1865-1984, 3,109 Add on the pre-1831 figures and the number of those buried in the New Burying Ground could be as high as 14,000.
