[edit] Police Authority

Perhaps there could be a mention of the fact that prior to the creation of her office, the British Government had said that no Member of the Police Authority would be eligible for the post. Also, the fact that her husband is a member of a party that was opposed to the aforementioned Authority and that the party refused to take seats on it.

Mind you, given that there only seem to be about forty people who become Health Board, or Police Authority, or Consumer Council or any other talking shop members in Northern Ireland I suppose it's not surprising.

Do you mean Police Board? If so the SDLP sit on the board: Alex Attwood (SDLP)

Joe Byrne (SDLP) Dolores Kelly (SDLP) and support the PSNI her husband is Declan O'LoanWeggie 16:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accent

Where in England is she from? I can't place the English component of her mid-Irish Sea accent. At least with Mr Orde it's maybe that he's a Londoner (and he loves London town?)

[edit] Rewrìte and clean-up

Does anyone else think that this article needs a rewrite? What has been added is all well and good, or at least well referenced but it doesn't read as an encyclopedia article. I would be willing to give a go at a rewrite and put it in a sub-page for review and comment. Ekilfeather 14:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. the middle section about her life is mostly taken from a website direct. I wouldn't go too far with removing too much material without consenus tho.. Best of luck!Weggie 21:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

If anyones knows anything about her education it would be helpful, or her age for that matter. Ekilfeather 12:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BIAS

For attention of Weegie, in response to: "This is defamation of character i.e. libel - please discuss on the talk page if you wantt this in" I don't believe that my edit would actually amount to libel, even if it did I think there's a chance of a defense based on the principle of fair comment (Slim v Daily Telegraph). Furthermore I had provided a reasonable citation to back up my addition. At the present there's also controversy surrounding the report (counter-report by the police authorities) - prehaps the use of the word allegedly before biased?

I'm also aware that I keep adding this.. so, prehaps discussion here in future would be better weegie

I think putting 'biased' in the intro is over the top, many people would disagree with this - I would support the addition of the info in the link together in the article though. Just putting in she is biased is not good form here without using the information as to who said it and their justification. Weggie 21:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

remove it in the meantime if you wish, I will attempt to compile some form of justification... prehaps a note in with the operation ballast report about the fact that the police have also produced a report would be more effective anyway. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.229.138.119 (talk) 21:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

I can't remove it due to WP:3RR Weggie 21:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what that means, I removed it in the meantime. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.229.138.119 (talk) 22:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

It's a reference to the three-revert rule Autarch 18:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
