ENG: The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is the larger of the two main unionist political parties in Northern Ireland. Founded by Ian Paisley and currently led by Peter Robinson, it is currently the largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly and the fourth-largest party in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. However, it came third in the European Parliament election 2009 in Northern Ireland, with its candidate elected after both Sinn Fein's candidate and the candidate of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and the Conservative Party. With respect to first-preference votes the DUP was second to Sinn Fein due to a three-way split unionist vote. The DUP has strong links to Protestant churches, particularly the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, the church Ian Paisley founded, and is ...

Unionists must stay focused: Campbell
Addressing party members and supporters in Newtownards, DUP MP for East Londonderry Gregory Campbell said: "To one side of the DUP stands a Party that has no vision for the future. They were, and are, prepared to abandon any pretence of standing up to republicans in negotiations for Government or in disputes when in Government. They didn’t demand that republicans stop violence or get rid of the guns before entering a Government with them. They didn’t stand up for the Loyal Orders when they had the opportunity, they didn’t rule out any Irish language Act, they didn’t ...

DUP's terror bill support was key to investment: Robinson
Wednesday, 31 December 2008 The Democratic Unionist Party decision to back the government's plan for 42-day detention of terror suspects helped deliver major investment for Northern Ireland, Peter Robinson said today. The DUP leader again denied his party had sought or been granted political favours for backing Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the crucial Westminster vote on the issue in June. But Mr Robinson said the decision had proved the DUP was a responsible party and that government later 'bent over backwards to help' it. The House of Commons split by 315 votes to 306 over the ...

Grassroots point the way to shared future in peaceful Northern Ireland Pressure on Northern Ireland's political leaders from the grassroots to focus on bread and butter issuesAs my feet crunched on broken glass strewn across a North Belfast side street earlier this month, little appeared to have changed since I left Northern Ireland in 1997.The glass served as a reminder that North Belfast, which bore the brunt of the violence during the Troubles, witnessed renewed sectarian clashes at the height of the loyalist marching season last month. It all had a familiar feel from my time in Northern Ireland as the Times correspondent in the final days of the Troubles.The gloomy outlook did not last long. Shortly after arriving in the Duncairn Gardens area of the city, two community workers from either side of Northern Ireland's sectarian divide turned up. Jackie McDonald, a leader of the loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Defence Association, and Liam Maskey, a republican community worker, told me how closely they work together to help young people.I was speak |
Northern Ireland's coalition government appoints ministers DUP has taken finance, health, enterprise and social development ministries, while Sinn Féin, will take education, agriculture and cultureThe Democratic Unionist party has taken the finance, health, enterprise and social development ministries in the new Northern Ireland government.The DUP main partners in the power sharing coalition, Sinn Féin, will take charge of education, agriculture and culture.Among the new appointees is one of Sinn Féin's rising stars, John O'Dowd, who takes over the education portfolio from his party colleague Catriona Ruane. Caral Ni Chuilin heads up the culture department, and one of her key battles over the next few years will be an attempt to introduce an Irish language bill into Northern Ireland that would put Gaelic on par with English. Unionists are opposed to the move, claiming that an official bilingual policy would cost already cash-strapped ministries millions.The DUP's Edwin Poots is the new health minister while party colleague Sammy Wilson rema |
DUP and Sinn Féin to hold talks on Northern Ireland ministries Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness expected to consider appointment of a new justice ministerNorthern Ireland's two largest parties will meet on Monday to discuss the make-up of the new executive.The Democratic Unionist leader, Peter Robinson, and Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness are expected to consider the appointment of a new justice minister as part of talks about the allocation of ministries.The DUP won 38 assembly seats in Thursday's election, with Sinn Féin the largest nationalist party on 29.The cross-community Alliance party is expected to fill the justice minister's position under an agreement on policing and justice reached between the DUP and Sinn Fein during the last mandate.Alliance could be entitled to another executive post after winning eight seats, but the Ulster Unionists are expected to encourage former member David McClarty, re-elected as an independent, to return to the party, giving it enough assembly numbers to take the post from Alliance.McClarty refused to sa |
Ian Paisley out of intensive care unit but stays in hospital 85-year-old former first minister of Northern Ireland said to be making steady progressIan Paisley, Northern Ireland's former first minister, has been moved out of an intensive care unit but is still being cared for at the Ulster Hospital.Paisley had been in the unit after being treated for heart problems earlier this month. According to friends of the Paisley family, the 85-year-old was making "steady progress".Paisley, the founder of the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) and the Free Presbyterian Church, was admitted to hospital 12 days ago and his family requested privacy during what they described as a "difficult time".Paisley, now known as Lord Bannside, stood down as first minister in 2008 and ended 60 years of full-time ministry in January.Ian PaisleyDemocratic Unionist party (DUP)Northern IrelandHenry McDonaldguardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
