‘On Guard Against Depression and Euphoria’: Dealing with the North
9th April – 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
£5.00 – £6.50

‘In dealing with the North one must constantly be on guard against both depression and euphoria.’ Documents on Irish Foreign Policy 1969–1973

The end of the 1960s brought with it two of the greatest issues in Ireland’s foreign relations: the outbreak of the Troubles and joining the European Economic Community. The latest volume of Documents on Irish Foreign Policy (DIFP) covers the period 1969 to 1973 and chronicles the often highly-secret behind-the-scenes diplomacy of the Irish government as it faced these challenges. Join DIFP editors Michael Kennedy and Melissa Baird for a discussion on how Dublin responded to the escalation of violence in Northern Ireland and how the Troubles influenced the wider picture of Irish foreign policy.

Café Operator Required - Call for Expressions of Interest

The Linen Hall is inviting expressions of interest from experienced café operators interested in developing and offering a creative café offering. Located in the heart of City Centre, the Linen Hall is a place of tranquility and is steeped in a 237 year history. The Linen Hall has a footfall of approximately 120,000 per annum.

The Linen Hall positively showcases the story of Belfast and the cafe is integral to our plans for the continued development of The Linen Hall as a must visit destination for local people and tourists alike. With its central location and amazing views of the city customers can combine literature, conversation and delicious food and drinks in a grand setting, making it the place to be with a cup of coffee and a book or a catch up with friends over lunch and wine. We want people to find solace in this oasis away from the hubbub of the city centre in the atmospheric ambiance of The Linen Hall.

We want people to feel respected and valued no matter what. Whether they are having a lunch with drinks or just a cup of tea and a scone, we would like staff to get to know their customers, making each person who comes in feel welcome and appreciated.

The operator will be encouraged to bring their own personality to the space. However excellent coffee, locally sourced food menu at reasonable prices, ‘best in class’ customer service and the highest standard of cleanliness are all essential. We would like the operator to be as green and environmentally conscious as possible, with minimum waste.
Anticipated operating terms will be through management agreement aligned to turnover and contribution to utility costs.

Expressions of interest should be submitted, by 21/3/2025 to Belinda Hunter, Operations and Visitor Experience Manager [email protected]. Further information can be provided on request.

Timetable:
Expressions of interest by 21/3/2025
Final proposals by 4/4/2025
