“Marching Must Be Dignified”: the Government of Parades in Northern “Marching Must Be Dignified”: The Government of Parades in Northern Ireland by Susan Salhany, B.A., M.A. A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Anthropology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario December 13, 2013 © 2013, Susan Salhany ii Abstract In July 1996, public disorder associated with parades in Northern Ireland amounted to a significant crisis for the state. The result was the creation of an independent commission, known as the Northern Ireland Parades Commission, to manage how parades take place. This dissertation is concerned with the governing strategies and tactics deployed by the Parades Commission since its inception in 1997. It is concerned with the practical means through which the attempt was made to constitute the spaces and politics of parading as an object of government. Michel Foucault’s study of governmentality, as well as the subsequent development of his work by other scholars, provides the overall approach to this thesis. I argue that in the mid-1990s, early attempts to repress, ban, and prohibit parading give way in important degrees to attempts to encourage, entice and direct the conduct of individuals and groups. The strategies, tactics, administrative procedures, and discourses deployed by the Commission aimed to capture and reorganize local symbolic politics and political relations in Northern Ireland in ways deemed conducive to peaceful parading. This study also concerns itself with the challenges, problems and resistances faced by the Commission. In particular, it takes into account the ways in which the lack of political consensus and the history of political conflict in Northern Ireland has shaped the governing project, as well as the ways in which the attempt to govern a symbolic display challenged the processes and practices of government. This thesis ultimately shows how the Commission’s attempts proved unsuccessful: as evident by the constant challenges faced by the body, the spaces and politics of parading are elusive and difficult to constitute; the government of parades has required persistent experimentation which continues to present day. iii Acknowledgements Writing a dissertation is truly a collaborative effort and there are many I wish to thank. I am deeply indebted to my supervisor, Bruce Curtis. Without his persistence, support, and guidance this thesis may not have been completed. I am especially grateful to Bruce for his enthusiastic engagement with my primary material and for his feedback throughout the writing process. His insights and advice were invaluable in providing a path to follow when I was confused and uncertain. When I lacked trust in myself, his unwavering faith in my abilities kept me writing. I am also grateful to Andrea Doucet for her guidance and support through the early years; to Blair Rutherford for his always open door and upbeat encouragement; and to William Walters for agreeing to join this project and for his invaluable feedback on a draft of the thesis. Thank you all for your engagement with my work and for pushing my thinking in new directions. There are many whom I met in Northern Ireland that made this thesis possible. I am indebted to Robin Whitaker who paved the way for fieldwork in Belfast by suggesting individuals I might contact, providing e-introductions, offering advice and helpful tips. Her kindness laid the basis for making my fieldwork experience an extremely rewarding one. Special thanks goes to Dominic Bryan and Michael Hamilton. It is impossible to detail here all the ways in which they contributed to my research and my understanding of parades in Northern Ireland. Both generously gave their time, introduced me to other key individuals, and shared parade-related documents. Such documents provided a rich source of primary material which shaped the direction of the thesis. Dominic kindly invited me along on a flag- counting tour of County Armagh and provided a working space at the Institute of Irish Studies, while Michael introduced me to individuals within the Parades Commission and brought me with him to numerous parades. The thesis would not be what it is without their help and I cannot thank them enough. I am also indebted to all those at the Parades Commission, including Authorised Officers and monitors, who gave me their time during my visits, allowed me to attend parades with them, patiently answered my questions, explained Commission procedures, offered their point view, provided various documents, and willingly helped out in any way they could. I am truly grateful. Similarly, I must thank all those involved in parading in various capacities who opened their door to chat with a Canadian graduate student about her research. During the PhD journey, I had the opportunity to learn from established academics and faculty members, whether we met at Carleton, in Northern Ireland, or at various conferences. I especially thank Aaron Doyle, Martin Hand, Sean Farrell, Debbie Lisle, and Gordon Gillespie for their support, encouragement, and helpful exchange of ideas. Dear friendships sustained me throughout the trials and tribulations of the PhD process. Special thanks go to my academic compatriots Christian Caron, Tara Lyons, Robyn Braun, Sophie Mathieu, Lindsey McKay, Tamy Superle, Jen Wrye, Darryl Ross, among many others. Thank you for listening, for sharing insights, productivity tips, and for cathartic nights out. iv Outside of academia, my profound thanks go to Lianne Kay and Jennifer Luck who over the years patiently listened to my academic woes, provided a sympathetic ear, home cooked meals, and good laughs to sooth my troubles. My parents, Ron and Judy, provided unwavering support from the beginning. It is only because of them that I could undertake a PhD in the first place. When times were tough, they were always there for me with comforting advice and the occasional trip to Ottawa. I could not have done this without them. Equally, I could not have finished this project without the love and support of my husband Mark. He took pride in my academic pursuits and encouraged me every step of the way. I am so fortunate to have him as a partner in life. To the wee one still growing inside my belly: You’ll never know how much the excitement and happiness of your impending existence pushed me to finish this degree. This dissertation is for you. Finally, I benefited from numerous sources of financial support for which I am grateful. Such support made this project possible: The Fonds de recherche du Québec, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship programme, the Ireland Canada University Foundation, the David and Rachel Epstein Foundation, the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, and the Graduate Students’ Association. Thank you. v Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgments iii List of Figures vi Introduction 1 Chapter One 20 Governmentality, Investments and Political Experimentation: A Methodological Discussion Chapter Two 40 The Government of Parades in Northern Ireland: From Policing ‘Public Order’ to Governing ‘Community Relations’ Chapter Three 78 The Birth of the Parades Commission and the Production of ‘Contentious Parades’ Chapter Four 107 ‘The Art of Mediation’: Mediation as a Strategy of Government Chapter Five 142 Making Determinations: Mapping ‘Contentious Parades’ Through Knowledge Practices Chapter Six 178 Challenges and Transformations in Making Determinations and the Rise of a Human Rights Discourse Chapter Seven 211 Governmentality, Political Conflict and Symbolic Displays: Challenges, Resistances and Governing Struggle Conclusion 239 vi List of Figures Figure 1 - ‘The Commission in Action’ 93 Figure 2 - A suggested ‘scale of engagement’ 137 Figure 3 - ‘The 12-point Parade Scale’ 175 Figure 4 - ‘Ulster Says No!’ 216 Figure 5 - ‘You not allowed to parade either big lad?’ 230 Figure 6 - ‘Orangefest’ advertisement 246 1 Introduction On July 12 1849, the Protestant marching organization, the Orange Order, marched through Dolly’s Brae, a predominantly Catholic village in County Down, Ireland. A group of Catholic men and women were determined that the procession not pass through the village and they assembled in a nearby field with various arms. Despite attempts by local priests to diffuse the tension and the encouragement by authorities that the Order re-route the march, a violent riot ensued. The riot left Orangemen unharmed, but 30 Catholics dead. The scale of disorder led the government to re-enact a law banning all party processions in Ireland (Farrell 2000: 1-4). The bill, titled A Bill to Restrain Party Processions in Ireland, enacted on February 8 1850, stated: Whereas Numbers of Persons have been in the Practice of assembling and marching together in procession in Ireland in a Manner calculated to create and perpetuate Animosities between different Classes of Her Majesty's Subjects, and to endanger the public Peace: Be it therefore enacted…That from and after the passing of this Act all Assemblies of Persons in Ireland who shall meet and parade together or join in procession, and who shall bear, wear or have amongst them or any of them any fire- arms or other offensive Weapons, or any Banner, Emblem, Flag or Symbol, the Display whereof may be calculated or tend to provoke Animosity between different Classes of Her Majesty's Subjects, or who shall be accompanied by any Person or Persons playing Music which may be calculated or tend to provoke Animosity between different Classes of Her Majesty's Subjects, shall be unlawful Assemblies, and every person present thereat shall be guilty of a Misdemeanor, and upon Conviction thereof shall be punished accordingly. (Hansard 13-14 vic. c2) Almost a century and a half later, in July 1996, public disorder associated with parades in Northern Ireland amounted to a significant crisis for the state. On January 30 1997, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Sir Patrick Mayhew, made a speech in the House of Commons: Last summer, public disorder occurred in Northern Ireland on a very grave scale, associated in particular, but not exclusively, with a parade at Drumcree.

Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Northern Ireland conflict, called “the Troubles” was the most durable conflict in the Europe since WW2. Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

Without peace, justice and love nations cannot develop, and man- kind can enjoy neither happiness nor tranquility. In order to achieve social stability and world peace, there must be impartiality and harmonious living among nations, among political factions, among ethnic groups, and among religions. It is clear that peace is a divine prize that may come by the way of justice not by the terrorism. If there is religious terrorism there isn’t peace.

  • Accountability, Policing and the Police Service Of
    Topping, J. R. (2016) ‘Accountability, Policing and the Police Service of Northern Ireland: Local Practice, Global Standards?’, in S. Lister and M. Rowe (eds.) Accountability of Policing (Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice). Oxon: Routledge. Accountability, Policing and the Police Service of Northern Ireland: Local Practice, Global Standards? John Topping Almost without exception, both the development and operationalization of police accountability in Northern Ireland have gone hand-in-hand with the much lauded and complex reform process set in motion by the far-reaching recommendations of the Independent Commission for Policing in Northern Ireland (ICP, 1999). Beneath the international attention focused upon the polity’s policing affairs over nearly four decades, it may be observed that ‘knowing’ and ‘overseeing’ what the police ‘do’ have become integral to the country’s contemporary policing (and political) landscape. As part of the implicit ICP policy of ‘wrestling’ policing from the state and giving it ‘back to the people’ (Topping, 2008b), creating one of the world’s most accountable police services has become the bedrock of community trust and legitimacy not just in the police, but so too the state – not withstanding the importance of policing to the wider political settlement and stability in the country (O’Rawe, 2003). Thus, on both vertical (structural) and horizontal (socio-political) plains, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has become governed by a host of statutory, governmental and other bodies – generally conceived as the global ‘gold standard’ of police oversight, not limited to operational policing, human rights, public order policing and organisational governance (Ellison, 2007; Office of the Oversight Commissioner, 2007; Topping, 2008a).

It be- gins with a brief review of the historical significance of parades in Ireland before summarizing the background to the current disputes. This Essay considers the causes of the problem, the arguments of the various parties, and the development of legal controls on parades. The Essay then moves on to review the attempts that have been made to resolve the issue. In particular, the Essay focuses on the formal measures that have been taken by the British Government to resolve the disputes rather than the practical measures taken to mediate, negotiate, and police the problems at a local level. Such measures include the consideration given to the problem in the report of the Indepen- dent Review of Parades and Marches, changes that have been made to the legislation governing parading, and the formation of the Parades Commission with powers to issue legal determinations over disputes.

    COUNTMAKE EDUCATION CONSTITUENCY PROFILES FOR FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION IN NORTHERN IRELAND CONSTITUENCY PROFILES FOR FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION MAKE EDUCATION COUNT IN NORTHERN IRELAND Introduction It’s 2010 – the second decade of the 21st century – and it remains a stark reality that Northern Ireland is still riddled with some of the more dire statistics in the UK, when it comes to educational attainment and employment. Northern Ireland is bottom of UK tables that measure employment rates and people with qualifications, according to UCU analysis. Just over two-thirds of people in Northern Ireland (69.7%) are employed, the worst percentage of the UK's 12 regions. The South East of England tops the table with over three-quarters of people (78.5%) employed. The average is 74%. Northern Ireland has the highest percentage of people without qualifications. One in five (21.8%) have no qualifications, which is a long way off the national average of 12.4%. Northern Ireland fares slightly better when it comes to the percentage of people with a degree though. Over a quarter of people (25.7%) have a degree, which puts Northern Ireland in the middle of the regions' table but still some way behind the average of 29%.
