Download or read book The Rosemary Nelson Inquiry Report written by Rosemary Nelson Inquiry and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosemary Nelson, a solicitor in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, was murdered by a bomb exploding under her car near her home in March 1999. There were claims the police and government ignored a series of warnings about threats against her: concerns about her safety had been raised over a two-year period before she was killed. She had become a hate figure for hardline loyalists - and reportedly some police officers - because of some of the Republican clients she represented. It was claimed she had been threatened by RUC officers as well as loyalist paramilitaries. The Cory Collusion Inquiry (2004, ISBN 9780102927443) investigated the allegations of collusion between British security forces and paramilitaries in her murder, and concluded that there was enough evidence to warrant a full public inquiry. This Inquiry finds no evidence of any act by or within any of the state agencies (Royal Ulster Constabulary, the Northern Ireland Office or the Security Service) which directly facilitated the murder. Some members of the RUC did publicly abuse and assault her in 1997, and make abusive/threatening remarks about her to her clients, which became publicly known. Combined with intelligence leaks these had the effect of legitimising her as a target. There were omissions by the RUC and NIO which rendered her more at risk and more vulnerable. These omissions meant the state failed to take reasonable and proportionate steps to safeguard the life of Rosemary Nelson. The Inquiry finds no evidence of obstruction into the murder investigation, which was carried out with due diligence.

Download or read book 21st century welfare written by Great Britain: Department for Work and Pensions and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits system as it stands often provides incentives to stay on benefits rather than take on a job. This paper identifies the key failings of the benefits system and outlines the objectives the Government believes the system should attempt to achieve. The framework being considered looks at the system of state support for the less well off as a whole and is designed to produce positive behavioural effects. The intention is to maximise work incentives while continuing to protect those most in need. This aim is to achieve this through new rules on how much of their earnings people can keep without losing benefit and by withdrawing benefits as earnings rise at a single, reasonable rate. The models being put forward for consultation include: i) a universal credit whereby elements of the current income-related and tax credit systems are combined, bringing out-of-work and in-work support together in a single system and supplement household earnings through credit payments; ii) a single unified taper would retain a set of benefits with a reformed delivery system whereby withdrawal would be through a taper applied to overall benefit eligibility as income increased; and ii) a single working age benefit which would give all working age claimants the same level of replacement income regardless of whether they were jobseekers, lone parents, sick or disabled. The Government is also looking at how to use smart automation to deliver support without the wasteful bureaucratic delays to payment that make the move into work more stressful than necessary

Download or read book Political Corruption in Ireland 1922 2010 written by Elaine Byrne and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book empirically maps the decline in standards since the inauguration of Irish independence in 1922, to the loss of Irish economic sovereignty in 2010. It argues that the definition of corruption is an evolving one. As the nature of the state changes, so too does the type of corruption. New evidence is presented on the early institutional development of the state. Irish public life was motivated by an ethos which rejected patronage. Original research provides fresh insights into how the policies of economic protectionalism and discretionary decision-making led to eight Tribunal inquires. The emergence of state capture within political decision-making is examined by analyzing political favoritism towards the beef industry. The degree to which unorthodox links between political donations impacted on policy choices which exacerbated the depth of Ireland's economic collapse is considered. This book will appeal to students and scholars of Irish politics, corruption theory, governance, public policy, and political financing.

Download or read book The BBC s Irish Troubles written by Robert J. Savage and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how news and information about the conflict in Northern Ireland was disseminated through the most accessible, powerful and popular form of media: television. It focuses on the BBC and considers how its broadcasts complicated the 'Troubles' by challenging decisions, policies and tactics developed by governments trying to defeat a stubborn insurgency that threatened national security. The book uses highly original sources to consider how the BBC upset the efforts of a number of governments to control the narrative of a conflict that claimed over 3,500 lives and caused deep emotional scarring to thousands of people. Using recently released archival material from the BBC and a variety of government archives, the book addresses the contentious relationship between broadcasting officials, politicians, the army, police and civil service from the outbreak of violence throughout the 1980s.

Download or read book Report of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry Hc written by Lord Saville of Newdigate and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-30 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 29th January 1998 the House of Commons resolved that it was expedient that a tribunal be established for inquiring into a definite matter of urgent public importance, namely "the events on Sunday, 30 January 1972 which led to loss of life in connection with the procession in Londonderry on that day, taking account of any new information relevant to events on that day." On 2nd February 1998 the House of Lords also passed this resolution. With the exception of the last 12 words, these terms of reference are virtually identical to those for a previous Inquiry held by Lord Widgery (then the Lord Chief Justice) in 1972. Both inquiries were conducted under the provisions of the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921. In his statement to the House of Commons on 29th January 1998 the Prime Minister (The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP) said that the timescale within which Lord Widgery produced his report meant that he was not able to consider all the evidence that might have been available. He added that since that report much new material had come to light about the events of the day. In those circumstances, he announced: "We believe that the weight of material now available is such that the events require re-examination. We believe that the only course that will lead to public confidence in the results of any further investigation is to set up a full-scale judicial inquiry into Bloody Sunday." The Prime Minister made clear that the Inquiry should be allowed the time necessary to cover thoroughly and completely all the evidence now available. The collection, analysis, hearing and consideration of this evidence (which is voluminous) have necessarily required a substantial period of time. The Tribunal originally consisted of The Rt Hon the Lord Saville of Newdigate, a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, The Hon William Hoyt OC, formerly the Chief Justice of New Brunswick, Canada, and The Rt Hon Sir Edward Somers, formerly a member of the New Zealand Court of Appeal. Before the Tribunal began hearing oral evidence, Sir Edward Somers retired through ill health. The Hon John Toohey AC, formerly a Justice of the High Court of Australia, took his place. Lord Saville acted throughout as the Chairman of the Inquiry.
