Presenter Anne-Marie McAleese, along with ornithologist Dot Bleakley will be at the RSPB’s Portmore Lough in County Armagh to link up live with RTE’s Derek Mooney and his guests at Cuskinny Marsh Nature Reserve in County Cork. There will also be links with NRK, Norway’s national broadcasting service, and other experts and listeners across Ireland. Ann-Marie said: “One thing’s for sure, it’s going to get very noisy as the birds hit their morning crescendo! And it’s just so exciting to be involved in a radio extravaganza that’s never been done before - a cross border joining of broadcasting hands, with people and birds. However this isn’t just a dawn chorus on these shores – we’re also linking up with Norway – so I’m thinking of it like a Eurovision Song Contest for our feathered friends. Join us from midnight on Saturday when the race is on to see who will be the first to tweet - and where!” This beautiful natural phenomenon that hails the start of a new day is at its peak at this time of year, and our experts will be on hand to help identify which birds can be heard during the clamour and cacophony the programme will bring live to listener’s ears from each location. As Dawn Chorus begins at Midnight and finishes at 7am on Sunday 3 May – the race is on to find out which bird will be the first to tweet - and where! The programme is part of BBC Radio Ulster’s year-long 40th anniversary celebrations.

  • A Process of Analysis
    A process of analysis (1) The Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist community Compiled by Michael Hall ISLAND 107 PAMPHLETS 1 Published February 2015 by Island Publications / Farset Community Think Tanks Project 466 Springfield Road, Belfast BT12 7DW © Michael Hall 2015 [email protected] http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications cover photographs © Michael Hall The Project wishes to thank all those who participated in the discussions and interviews from which this publication was compiled. This first part of a three-part project has received financial support from The Reconciliation Fund Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Dublin. Printed by Regency Press, Belfast The Island Pamphlets series was launched in 1993 to stimulate a community-wide debate on historical, cultural, political and socio-economic issues. Most of the pamphlets are edited accounts of discussions undertaken by small groups of individuals – the ‘Community Think Tanks’ – which have embraced (on both a ‘single identity’ and a cross-community basis) Loyalists, Republicans, community activists, women’s groups, victims, cross-border workers, ex-prisoners, young people, senior citizens and others. To date 106 titles have been produced and 190,400 pamphlets have been distributed at a grassroots level. Many of the titles are available for (free) download from http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications. 2 Introduction Sixteen years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement issues surrounding identity, marching and flags in Northern Ireland remain as contentious as ever. These unresolved matters have poisoned political discourse and at times threatened to destabilise the political institutions. Even the Stormont House Agreement (announced in the final days of 2014) in which Northern Ireland’s political parties reached a belated consensus on a range of financial and legacy matters, once again pushed any discussion of identity-related issues further into the future.

  • Northern Ireland Peace Monitoring Report
    Community Relations Council Northern Ireland Peace Monitoring Report Number Three March 2014 Paul Nolan Peace Monitoring Report The Northern Ireland Peace Monitoring Report Number Three Paul Nolan March 2014 3 Peace Monitoring Report Data sources and acknowledgements This report draws mainly on statistics that are in the public domain. Data sets from various government departments and public bodies in Northern Ireland have been used and, in order to provide a wider context, comparisons are made which draw upon figures produced by government departments and public bodies in England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Using this variety of sources means there is no standard model that applies across the different departments and jurisdictions. Many organisations have also changed the way in which they collect their data over the years, which means that in some cases it has not been possible to provide historical perspective on a consistent basis. For some indicators, only survey-based data is available. When interpreting statistics from survey data, such as the Labour Force Survey, it is worth bearing in mind that they are estimates associated with confidence intervals (ranges in which the true value is likely to lie). In other cases where official figures may not present the full picture, survey data is included because it may provide a more accurate estimate – thus, for example, findings from the Northern Ireland Crime Survey are included along with the official crime statistics from the PSNI. The production of the report has been greatly assisted by the willing cooperation of many statisticians and public servants, particularly those from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, the PSNI and the various government departments.
