Yes I remember because we knew one of the people who hosted a group of these kids in our city--he himself was Irish and felt a keen responsibility towards giving the children some respite from the daily horrors they were living with at the time. I believe there were 4 to 6 of these children locally, shared out with our friend's family and two others. They were so beautiful...and perhaps they did take a message home that made a difference.

16. list of groups for children with speech development problems in Londonderry/ Derry Northern Ireland?

I sympathise with you! Sometimes the health professionals are not great at giving info. Speak to your health visitor, she may have info on local groups. Search for Yahoo Groups for children with similar problems, there may be a group that knows your area and can help. If your child has specifically named problem, search for that on the net, again it may throw up some local contact. I did a search but it really did not come up with any decent info, so the above is the best I can think of. Good luck...I know what it feels like to have an isolated child...;

18. what started the Derry/Londonderry arguement?

You can blame the English when they invaded Ireland and began their usual practice of applying Anglo-Saxon names to the occupied country. If you look at an irish map or street sign which gives both versions, you will see that the English did not have much imagination! Thus 'Doire, the irish/Celtic term for oak tree, became 'Derry', later renamed to Londonderry in honour of the principal city of the Queen of England. Thus the native Catholics prefer to forget this period of irish history by continuing to call it Derry while Protestants, imported [or planted by the English], prefer to call it by their sponsor's preferred name. Each to his own, I say - we've got to live with each other. If you ask someone what the principal city of County Derry is, their answer will usually reveal their religion. I'm sure neutrals find it very confusing, not least since they don't want to offend anyone if visiting. I have to say that I know several people from Derry on both sides of the religious divide, and they are the most warm and charming peopel you could meet. It's a great city to visit, full of interesting features and in a beautiful setting. You will get a very warm welcome from everyone, irrespective of background and religion. I'm Dublin-born and mostly bred although emigrated eight years ago to the UK. I write a website on Dublin - you might like to read my Culture section for more information. All the best, Peter
