Since June 2004, Jim Allister QC MEP has been working vigorously for Northern Ireland's interests in Europe, both on the floor of the Parliament and on various committees on which he sits. In a book entitled, 'Leading for Ulster, Speaking for You', speeches made in the Parliament by the DUP MEP since his election up to November 2005 have been published. The book demonstrates not only the wide range of issues the Ulster MEP has spoken on, with world affairs and more parochial issues making for an interesting mix. Covering the period up to 30 November 2005, it shows his contributions far outstrip those of Northern Ireland’s other MEPs.  Since election to Strasbourg, Jim Allister has made 46 speeches in the Chamber, compared to 19 by De Brun and only 14 by Jim Nicholson.

Free copies of the book are available from Mr Allister's office at 139 Holywood Road, Belfast (Tel: 028 90 655011).

Time for Unionists to get their slice of the Peace II cake!

Since my election as a member of the European Parliament I have expressed severe reservations about how money coming from the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation has been spent.  During previous stages of the Peace programme (known as Peace I and Peace II); the Unionist Community has not been given what I consider our fair allocation of available resources. I want that to change.  During the last twelve months, I have lobbied for fundamental alterations to the way in which the Peace Programme is administered and delivered on the ground. 

In the past when I have raised my concerns about the under-funding of Protestant and/or Unionist areas, one of the stock responses that I receive runs as follows “if Unionists don’t apply for funding, they cannot complain when they don’t get it”. Now that the Peace II stage of the programme has been extended, it is vital that we remove this defence from those who would seek to deny our community their fair share of the funds available. To that end, it is vital that we see an increased rate of applications for funding coming in from groups that operate within the Unionist community.
