RECOGNITION OF OVER 70 YEARS IN LOCAL JOURNALISM

Early day motion 890, tabled 23 March 2004 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 25 members.

That this House recognises the contribution made to their local communities by regional newpapers across the UK; acknowledges the longevity of a local journalist in Northern Ireland by the name of W. 'Speedy' Moore who has contributed a column in his local weekly newspaper for over 70 years; believes this to be of outstanding duration, comparing favourably with any other similar weekly journalistic contributions across the United Kingdom; and wishes every success to Mr Moore as he approaches his 92nd birthday.
