Welcome to West Armagh - About Us

Welcome to the West Armagh Consortium's website. We hope that you will find this both interesting and informative. We would like to take this opportunity to give the reader some background to us.

The West Armagh Consortium (WAC) was constituted in November 2002 as a voluntary amalgamation of local community groups from Armagh City West. As a non-sectarian and politically unaffiliated umbrella organisation, the Consortium welcomes affiliations from all new and existing community and voluntary groups in our catchment area. The groups currently affiliated represent districts within the three electoral wards of Abbey Park, Callanbridge and Downs.

St.Patrick's Paradre meeting
A view of the audience gathering for the St.Patrick's Day Parade meeting in WAC Hall

Following a public meeting held in Armagh on Wednesday night to discuss the council’s decision to move the St. Patricks Day parade from the 17th to 16th, plans are now afoot to organise a community parade. Approximately 100 people gathered in the West Armagh Consortiums Hall at Sherry’s Field to organise a community-based parade. Representatives of sporting clubs, community groups dance groups and representative from three political parties, SDLP, Sinn Fein and Alliance were among those that attended to lend their support and participation in the upcoming event.

Speaker after speaker spoke of their frustration at the council’s decision to ignore the community in having a say in this change of date. The meeting was chaired by Fiona Kelly, chairperson of the West Armagh Consortium who was assisted the Stephen Fields, the consortiums Community Development Programme Manager and its  spokesperson on the issue. Commenting on recent media coverage of the issue Mr. Fields said that contrary to some slants being portrayed the issue is not a ‘storm in a teacup’ “Tonight’s meeting and this fantastic turnout is proof of that.” He went on to say “This community parade is not out of step with the council, as some have suggested but rather the council is out of step with the rest of the country and indeed the whole world who recognise March 17th as St. Patricks’ Day. The arguments use by those on ABC Council who are defending this decision do not stack up. A parade on the 17th will not restrict people ability to attend church services, what church services would be affected? “It will not necessarily be a further boost for local traders, in fact it some traders have said that it would  deprive them of a Sunday trading opportunity. It is not the agreed opinion of all involved, had the council have taken the time to carry out a proper consultation then they would have found that out.”

A member of the audience reading from the councils’ own booklet released to promote the St. Patrick’s Festival said that according to council’s booklet that list all church services on the 17th ,  the only church service that a parade could possibly coincide with is a 3.15 pm service in CoI Cathedral. That event is a Choral Evensong.

The result of the meeting is that a 10-person strong steering group has been formed with the sole task of organising our St. Patricks Day parade. The group has already undertaken some immediate tasks involved in this, confirming the pledges of participation and liaising with these groups as well as widening the net to include more groups. The organisers have adopted a theme of inclusiveness for the parade encouraging groups from right across the whole community spectrum to attend. While the exact route of the parade has not been finalised, it is expected to follow the route of previous parades which with the exception of the start off point will be virtually the same route as the councils’ parade.  That  parade itself absorbed earlier community parades when the council  finally began to recognise the Saint’s day.

Giving the short timeframe, the steering group have a challenging job ahead of them, but they are confident that with the support of the community that the St. Patricks ‘Day Parade in Armagh will be one to remember.

The following statement was released to coincide with the announcement that it has been decided to organise a community parade in Armagh for St. Patricks' Day 

'It looks set to be a bumper weekend of celebration in Armagh this year as a community led initiative has now begun to bring the City to life on Sunday the 17th March in honour of Ireland’s patron Saint.

The project being fronted by the West Armagh Community Consortium, in conjunction with a wide range of civic, business and community interests, is seeking to ensure that the Saint’s feast day is suitably and properly celebrated in traditional style in Ireland’s ancient ecclesiastical capital and home to St Patrick himself.

Speaking at the launch of the initiative, Mr Stephen Fields, Community Development Manager for the WAC described it as;

 “A fantastic opportunity for the people of Armagh and beyond to come out on Sunday 17th March to mark the occasion in true Armagh style and to be part of the global celebration of St Patrick on that date. There has been a remarkable sense of frustration in the local community, and from further afield, at the plausibility of there being no parade in Armagh on 17th March, and we intend to make sure that is not the case and to do so in style.”

Nationalist councillors on the ABC Council have given the proposed parade their support.

Councillor Garath Keating, speaking on behalf of Sinn Féin, described the project as;

“A hugely important and community owned initiative, I am delighted at the prospect of Armagh people now having an opportunity to come together on the 17th March to show the world what St Patrick means to them and to this City. This is a sacred day in the calendar for people across the world, particularly so here in Ireland, to celebrate St Patrick”.

Speaking on behalf of the SDLP, Councillor Thomas O’Hanlon welcomed the initiative by the West Armagh Consortium saying;

“The initiative to host a Community procession on Sunday 17TH March is a welcome initiative.  This event is planned to complement the existing events organised throughout the Home of St Patrick Festival.  We look forward to engaging with the community, sporting and cultural groups in Armagh and beyond in helping bring forward a procession on Sunday 17th March.  Armagh is the home of Saint Patrick and I hope in the coming days people can unite around the event planned by the Consortium and look forward to the meeting on Wednesday night.”

 Acknowledging the array of events already organised as part of the build up to St Patrick’s Day, the organisers are very keen to point out that this event is in no way intended to be in competition with those ventures, but rather as a community initiative to complement and supplement the existing line-up of festival activities. Mr. Fields added;

“We felt as a community it was important to have continuity with the occasion being marked here locally on the day. Whilst we understand the reasoning of those organising the procession on Saturday 16th March, and wish that event every success, we have seen since that date was announced that there is a huge appetite here locally for people who also wish to mark the traditional date of the festivities”.  

“As such therefore, we are calling on all groups, organisations and interested parties wishing to celebrate the life and legacy of St Patrick here in County Armagh on Sunday 17th March, to join with us in making this event a truly amazing, inclusive, multicultural, family and community orientated spectacle”.

There will be a public meeting to commence co-ordination of the event at the Cathedral Road Complex next Wednesday evening 13th February at 7.30pm. 

All members of the public along with representatives of any organisations wishing to register interest in the event are cordially invited to the meeting. With time in short supply we are appealing to as many people as possible to help out and take ownership of this historic event in our historic City. Interest can also be registered by email to the following address:    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

St.Patricks Day in Armagh March 17th

There has been a  lot of community reaction to the announcement that Armagh Banbridge Craigavon Borough Council has decided to cancel their St.Patricks' Day Parade in favour of a 'Procession' to be held on March 16th. Following the announcement  the West Armagh Consortium, an umbrella group representing 11 community-based groups in Armagh City has written to the Chief Executive of Armagh City Banbridge Craigavon Borough Council requesting an urgent reversal of the councils’ decision to move the civic parade from the worldwide recognised date of St. Patricks’ Day 17th March to the 16th March.

In their letter to the council’s Chief Executive Mr. Roger Wilson the West Armagh Consortium has conveyed the dismay of community-based groups to the councils’ decision and have asked for a rationale for the move.

The West Armagh Consortium has argued that St. Patricks’ Day is recognised the world over and   celebrated on March 17th. Civic parades take place in cities and towns all across Ireland and further afield. We are dismayed that here in Armagh, a city where two cathedrals bear his name and the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, that the council has decided to ignore that reality.

In our letter to the councils’ Chief Executive the West Armagh Consortium has asked a number of questions raised by community groups at a meeting held on Tuesday night. They include:

1.     ‘Why has the decision been taken to move the St Patricks Day Parade / Procession from its normal date of the 17th March to the 16th March 2019.

2.     ‘When was this decision was taken.

3.     ‘Whether the decision was put to the full vote of Council or whether it was decided in Committee. We note that it has been suggested that the decision-making process was held confidentially and was therefore not open to public scrutiny. We ask you to confirm if the decision-making process was indeed carried out secretly.

4.     ‘Given that we (West Armagh Consortium) as key stake holders in the community were not consulted in any way in relation to this proposal can the council confirm the nature of the consultation process (if any) used by the council prior to coming to this decision.

5.     ‘Had the full impact of moving the Parade /Procession date been considered adequately (if at all) by the council. We would ask you to confirm whether a full impact assessment was carried out in relation to the impact this move would have on local retailers and businesses.

In conclusion the meeting held on Tuesday night was in response to concerns raised by community groups. The council’s decision is being viewed as a disgraceful decision to move the recognised date of St. Patricks Day.

Many groups only learned of the move when invited by the council to take part in the float competition, held as part of its ‘procession’.  This has added to local peoples’ anger insofar as it displays an apparent disregard by the council for the views of the community in Armagh. Groups argue that if the council had no trouble in contacting them to take part in the parade/procession, then why could community groups not have been contacted prior to the abandoning of March 17th as St. Patrick’s Day, to ascertain their opinions on this proposal.

For the council to think that such a move would not be contentious, is absurd. During the tenure of the Armagh City and District Council a similar idea proved to be controversial. On that occasion the matter was resolved in the council where there was an equal divide between nationalist and unionist councillors and the parade when ahead on St. Patricks’ Day.

Broken glass at sherrys field childrens play park
Some of the glass placed on childrens' play equipment

The West Armagh Consortium is calling on the youths responsible for the deliberate targeting of children’s play equipment to consider the danger that they are putting young children in. It follows several incidents when bottles were smashed in and on play equipment in the children’s play park at Sherry Field Sports Complex.

Speaking for the West Armagh Consortium, Stephen Fields said, “It is clear from the number of times that this has happened and where the bottles have been smashed that it is not the actions of some fling it away vandals. The play equipment itself appears to be the target with glass being deliberated broken in and around as well as on top of equipment. In some cases, this glass appears to be strategically placed where young children would be playing in what can only be assumed is an effort to inflict as must hurt as possible on unsuspecting children. We have pictures of bottles having been broken and placed at the top and bottom of slides.

“These are deplorable acts and even go beyond the wanted destruction of community facilities. The individuals involved in this are deliberating targeting young children. This is an obvious conclusion considering where they are breaking the bottles and, in some cases where the glass is being deliberately placed.

“Thankfully no child has been injured by these acts. The result has been that the park has had to remain closed on several occasions while council staff clean up the glass.

“As community representatives, we would urge these young people to stop this very dangerous and destructive behaviour. We would urge anyone seeing this behaviour to report it to the police, their local community representatives, or both. All it takes is a sliver of glass to remain on a piece of equipment that a child is playing on for them to suffer a very serious cut. And before anyone turns a blind eye, remember that child could be yours.”

Community First Responders new volunteers

Congratulations to Mr. John Fields and Mrs Patricia Creighton who completed their First Responders Training and will be responding to NI ambulance service calls in the coming weeks. Our new First Time Responders received their training though a four-week course and confidently passed. Their going active with the CFR programme comes shortly after the actions of the Community First Responders are being credited with assisting in the saving two lives in the city. Two men were successfully resuscitated and maintained by CRF volunteers, not the local volunteers but others who responded to the emergencies. Indeed, in one of the emergencies the CFR volunteer accompanied the patient in the ambulance assisting in the speedy delivery of the patient to Craigavon Area Hospital. These incidents happen at Callanbridge and on the Moy Road.

Community First Responders John Fields and Patricia CreightonThe West Armagh Consortium and REACT came together in the promotion of this life saving project. And we would like to take this opportunity to extend our congratulations to John Fields and Patricia Creighton. We hope that they will be the first of many community volunteers to take up the challenge of the first responding. The four-week training course has been described by the two CRF volunteers as very comprehensive and rewarding. They added that the training programme will also afford them further opportunities to advance their emergency medical responding skills.

We would like to take this opportunity to once again promote this fantastic project and encourage more people to uptake and avail of the training. ‘Such a programme can sometimes be under appreciated insofar that not all emergencies become newsworthy for the very fact that assistance had been readily available and had averted what could perhaps have been a more serious incident. As a result of our initial promotion we identified several people willing to put their names forward we hope that these volunteers will be able to follow through and in turn encourage even more like-minded people.

There are a number of avenues that potential volunteers can  go down to register with the Community First Responders. They can contact either WAC or REACT and we will forward their details on or go directly  to the CFR website https://www.cfrat.org.uk/volunteer  and link into their "Volunteer Registration Form"

Two local charities were presented with an equal share of the money raised at the sponsored run/walk held on August 10th as part of the West Armagh Community Festival. The event raised £4,220.Lisanally Special Needs School and Armagh Breast Cancer Support Group each received £2,110 at the night organised by the Lord Mayors Office at which the Deputy Lord Mayor Cllr, Paul Duffy made the presentations and congratulated the festival committee on delivering such a successful event.

There was a special presentation to Jack Rolston who attends Lisanally School. Together with his family ,Jack raised well is excess of £600 and in recognition of this fantastic achievement the festival committee presented Jack with a Harry Potter rucksack and wand. Needless to say there was a plethora of spells cast for the rest of the evening by the young wizard himself.

The event was attended by community volunteers, local politicians and representatives of the two charities.The committees sponsored run organiser Mr. John Fields thanked everyone for all their efforts in the organising and participation in the run. He also thanked  the local council who allowed the run to take place in the Palace Grounds. He added that it was particularly heartening to see the money raised being put to such good use.

Following an attempted online scam received by the WAC this morning we would urge people to be vigilant as in a previous instance the scammers targeted people in the locale. It is not clear whether or not the scammers operate on a geographical grid, going through area codes but previously there was a number of individuals targeted within a local area. The scam is similar to the previous one except they are purporting to come from Microsoft this time and not BT. However the result will be the same. You will informed that scammers are:

*Slowing down your computer/laptop.

*If not already on,turn on your machine.

*You cannot see what is going on in the background because they are hiding their activity.

*To see what they are doing, press the windows key and R and it opens up a box bottom left hand corner.

*Then you'll be instructed to insert a lettered code. This allows them to install a programme onto your computer and once that's activated, you have lost control of your computer. You screen will go blank at least at your end but allowing them to access  your files. From there on in it will be a matter of them stalling you with false information and bogus commands with the sole aim of gaining access to your banking details.

If you received such a call do not comply with it. Simply hang up. Genuine service providers do not contact their customers in this manner. Even if you are suspicious do not try to confirm with a number or email address that the caller may give. Go to the service providers verified online site and follow their respective contact procedures and details.

In light of the media coverage of the West Armagh Community Festival and attacks upon it by some Unionist politicians ,the organisers have issued the following statement.

"The West Armagh Community Festival has been in operation for over 20 years and in that time has been officially opened by Mayors and Lord Mayors from ALL parties within Armagh City and District Council (ACDC). The events that appear to be causing upset to members of the unionist parties have been part and parcel of the Festival since its early days, so why are unionist politicians up in arms now, considering that they participated in its official opening over the years and witnessed some of the events in question.

"Indeed, we have the current Lord Mayor officiating at our sponsored run/walk tomorrow night in the Palace Grounds. The monies raised at this will benefit two local charities, Lisanally Special School and Armagh Breast Cancer Support Group.

"The Festival was deliberately timed to coincide with what used to be a very volatile time of year, particularly within the nationalist community. The Festival organisers used the Festival to redivert energies. By and large this has been a great success insofar that here in Armagh the anniversary of Internment now passes off without any unrest and anti-social behaviour as had been the norm.

"The events in the Festival are named after people who are significant to the community in Armagh, who died either as part of the conflict or had respected standing within the community. There are over 10 events named after local people, not all who died violently.

"We are currently involved in a very busy Festival with a full schedule of multi-cultural events and cross community activities geared to everyone in the community. We hope this statement will suffice. If there are any further queries we will gladly respond to them after the Festival is completed."
