1.0 Introduction 1.1 The promotion of a sustainable approach to development is now a major tenet of Government policy. The Regional Development Strategy (RDS) for Northern Ireland further recognises that the application of the principles of sustainable development must also be at the heart of future rural development, and in this respect a strategic objective is to: “…conserve and enhance the environment, whilst improving the quality of life of the rural communities and developing the rural economy.” 1.2 In relation to Rural Northern Ireland, the overall aim of the RDS is to: “…develop an attractive and prosperous rural area, based on a balanced and integrated approach to the development of town, village and countryside, in order to sustain a strong and vibrant rural community, contributing to the overall well-being of the Region as a whole.” 1.3 While the policies of this PPS apply to all of the countryside of Northern Ireland, the rural area of Northern Ireland referred to above is more difficult to define. What is recognised is, that it is a diverse area with a distinctive settlement pattern, formed from a rich mosaic of main and small towns, villages and individual dwellings that is unique within the UK 1

Is the secure residence in Notting Hill, Malone Road, Belfast, the Irish 'embassy'? London has been more forthcoming than Dublin on the BIIGS staffing issue: Your Request (i) Mary Madden is the British Joint Secretary of the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference (iii) There are currently eleven Northern Ireland Office staff on the British side In relation to the information requested in ii and iv relating to the Irish side of the British Irish Intergovernmental Secretariat, we have concluded that these details are exempt from release under section 27 (1) (a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as disclosure would be likely to prejudice relations between the UK and the Irish Government. Section 27 is a qualified exemption and requires a public interest test to be carried out. The public interest test is a balancing exercise to consider whether the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in releasing the information. This is set out in Annex A attached."

AQW 1743/11-15 Mr Paul Frew Democratic Unionist Party North Antrim Tabled Date: 07/09/2011 Answered On Date: 19/09/2011 To ask the Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (i) to detail the number of cruise liners that have docked in the bay of Ballycastle, or any other bay along the North coast, in each of the last four years; (ii) to provide details of the cruise liners that docked; and (iii) what plans are in place to increase the number of cruise liners visiting the North Antrim coast. (iii) The Moyle Harbour Master, in conjunction with the Council’s Tourism Officer, plan to compile a destination data sheet of the relevant harbour/anchorage information including a guidance to local attractions and services that are available to the passengers and to promote the area as a preferred mid-cruise location. To date "Hebridean Princess" is due to visit Ballycastle on 23/09/11, 22/08/12 and 31/08/12 and the "Expedition" at Rathlin on the 27/05/12. Over the past four years Coleraine Borough Council has forged links with local agents including Hamilton shipping to encourage uptake of Portrush Harbour as a port of call for cruise ships. On numerous occasions the Council extended a welcome to the various ships, in particular by arranging a piper to play as the passengers arrived on shore. Staff also made a point of welcoming the Captain and encouraging repeat visits.

"As one commentator explains: After partition Northern Nationalists kept a respectful distance from the State and became ‘a society within a society’. The Catholic Church was the key institution in integrating the community and clerical leadership was important. There was an intertwining of Catholicism, Irish culture and political nationalism."

"Indeed, one of the most important roles the Catholic Church has played is in their interpretation of the relationship between Catholics and the Northern Irish state. Harris argues (1993) that in the 1920s, the Church's public statements took on a propaganda significance against the Northern Ireland and its government. Cardinal Thomas O'Fiaich in 1978 expressed his view that the British should withdraw from Ireland (as opposed to advocating reform, which had been the norm up until that point). "

These [13 full time] posts have been supported over most of the last five years by an Archaeological Support Contract. However due to budget difficulties in 2011/12 the support contract ended in May 2011 and was not replaced at that time. This combination of in-house and contracted staff had been sufficient to meet the Department’s prioritised responsibilities in archaeological matters.
