Brexit Betrayed
"They tried to create a democratic underclass, but democracy revolted" In June 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. From the moment the results became clear the political, media, academic and civic establishment reacted with disbelief, soon turning to fury. The self-appointed liberal elite had for so long placed their views and opinions on a moral pedestal, whilst scoffing and looking down their nose at anyone who dared care for tradition, valued patriotism or worst of all committed the ultimate sin of failing to virtue signal as part of the latest hyper-woke fad. These people could simply not understand how the views of the 'little people', mainly made up of working cl...
Belfast's Dome of Delight
A witty and sometimes tragic account of Unionist opposition to the growth of Nationalist and Republican politics within Belfast City Hall. As the 'novice ambassador from the independent republic of Anderstown', O Muilleoir's first experience as an elected representative involved forceable removal from the Council chamber by the RUC after attempting to make his first speech in Irish.

Partnership Governance in Northern Ireland
Originally published in 2001. Drawing together a broad range of material on Partnership Governance, this volume provides an invaluable contribution to a fast-growing area of political science. Powerful syntheses and a robust analytical framework accompany three empirical case studies focusing on how the transition from government to governance in Northern Ireland is being superimposed on the deep historical divisions that still exist. Political scientists, geographers, government and society and local development specialists will find this text striking in both its substance and lucid style. The text will also be of interest to public policy officials relying on public partnerships as a means of tackling social, economic and political problems.
Where Are We Now?
A moving, funny and topical novel about lost love, growing older and the realities of life in a society that is still coming to terms with thirty years of violence from the author of Gull and Backstop Land 'No one is more acutely tuned to the heartbeat of Belfast than Glenn Patterson and no one is more skilled at capturing all its love and madness. He does so with both tenderness and humour' DAVID PARK Herbie has had enough. It doesn't seem like he has much going for him anymore. His wife, the great love of his life, left him years ago, his daughter has fled for the bright lights of London, and now he's lost his job too. But life has a tendency to surprise. When Herbie wanders into a new café in his neighbourhood, he may well find something he never expected... Could it be that life isn't finished with him yet? From the author of Gull and Backstop Land, Where Are We Now? is a novel about lost love, growing older and the realities of life in a society still haunted by decades of violence. By turns moving and funny, topical and sharp, it is a life-affirming story of a life not yet over.
Absenteeism in Northern Ireland councils 2009-10
The Chief Local Government Auditor reports on absenteeism based on data requested from the 26 councils on an annual basis. The data is analysed over a three year period to counter the impact of annual fluctuations in absenteeism which could distort findings particularly within smaller councils. In 2009-10, Northern Ireland councils employed over 9,800 staff at a cost of £299 million. Staff costs account for 42% of the councils' expenditure. The report sets out a number of main findings and recommendations, including: Northern Ireland councils as a whole lost almost 122,000 days to absenteeism in 2009-10, an increase of around 700 days compared to 2008-09; there is a resultant absenteeism ra...
