Peace Backers to Lead N. Ireland Assembly
1998
Final results in the election for the new Northern Ireland Assembly showed that backers of the Good Friday agreement, designed to bring peace to this war-torn British province, will have a controlling majority in the governing body. Although backing for Paisley personally was strong enough to win assembly seats for himself and son Ian Paisley Jr., support was limited for others in the opposition camp. They won just 28 of 108 seats. That number is key, because 30 votes will be required in the new Assembly to sustain a filibuster and block action. The big winners were two of Paisley's arch-rivals: David Trimble, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, and John Hume, head of the Social Democratic and Labor Party.

Exploding Boris's ego
COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL The hereditary MP Ian Paisley, Jr - the Tory-supporting Democratic Unionist mini-me handed down his Bible-bashing father's name and North Antrim seat - enjoys a sharp sense of humour. While the bag carrier Conor Burns was begging uninterested backbenchers to fawn over the floppy-haired ego while sipping warm Prosecco, Vicky Foxcroft, Labour's Deptford Depth Charge, exploded Johnson's pomposity. The real scandal was the Labour deputy leader's failure to notice that the much -...

Policing burden eased by pounds 10m boost RUC Chief Constable welcomes additional funds
2001
The Northern Ireland Secretary has held talks with RUC Chief Constable Sir Ronnie Flanagan and the Police Authority to identify what additional funds are needed. Dr [John Reid] added that the Province's bitter sectarian divisions have ensured policing in Northern Ireland receives more cash backing than elsewhere in the UK. Accusing Sir Ronnie of \"crass stupidity\" in welcoming the cash boost given the current budgeting problems, Mr [DUP MLA Ian Paisley Jr] added: \"If the Government can find millions of pounds for the various inquiries into various cases in Northern Ireland, then they will have to find the necessary resources to finance the police.\"

It states: \"We pay tribute to the many, many years of faithful Gospel ministry that Dr [Ian Paisley] exercised both in Northern Ireland and also farther afield.\" The statement adds: \"We remember also the huge contribution that Dr Paisley made to the foundation and formation of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster; and we salute his gifted leadership in his role as moderator of Presbytery over many decades.\" Closer to home, the Free Presbyterian Church has paid tribute to Mr Paisley's \"many, many years\" of faithful service. Mr Paisley founded it in the 1950s after a dispute with the mainstream Presbyterian Church, and led it until 2008.

End of an era for 'the Big Man' Fifty years of speeches, strife, and stand-offs have come to a close, reports Michael Settle Fifty years of speeches, strife, and stand-offs have come to a close, reports Michael Settle IAN PAISLEY
2008
Awkward questions were asked of the party about a decision by Nigel Dodds, the DUP Economy Minister, to suspend public funding for a visitors' centre at Northern Ireland's top tourist attraction, the Giant's Causeway, and a statement by Arlene Foster, the party's Environment Minister, that she was minded to approve [Seymour Sweeney]'s bid to build it.

As Tony Blair, the ex-PM, who was at the sharp end of the peace process for so long, noted last night: \"In the final analysis, he made it happen. The man famous for saying 'no'will go down in history for saying 'yes'.\" 'I WILL NEVER SIT DOWN WITH GERRY ADAMS... HE'D SIT DOWN WITH ANYONE. HE'D SIT WITH THE DEVIL. IN FACT, ADAMS DOES SIT DOWN WITH THE DEVIL' - On Adams in February 1997.
