	Nigel Dodds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nigel Dodds was born in Londonderry, and was educated at Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh (whose other famous alumni include Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett) and St John's College, Cambridge.
		Dodds was Minister of Social Development in the Northern Ireland Executive from 21 November 1999 but resigned on 27 July 2000, then served again from 24 October 2001, when the devolved institutions were restored, until resigning on 11 October 2002, shortly before the executive and the Assembly were collapsed by the Ulster Unionist Party.
		Dodds was perceived as a quietly effective Minister, carrying out important reforms on the control of public sector housing, but was dogged by allegations that formulae allocating funding to deprived areas were favouring Protestant areas.

		Nigel Dodds is regarded, along with Peter Robinson and Gregory Campbell, as one of the three wise men of the Democratic Unionist Party, which is now the dominant Protestant party in the North.
		Dodds outlined the areas that the party wants to talk about when in January the Good Friday agreement comes under review.
		The fact that the equality and human-rights agendas, and the cross-border bodies are for nationalists core aspects of the agreement without which there would have been no agreement in the first place seems not to have occurred to this representative of DUP pragmatism, wise man or not.

		The DUP leader, the Rev Ian Paisley, last night confirmed the appointment of two DUP ministers - Mr Peter Robinson and Mr Nigel Dodds - following Mr Trimble's re-nomination of the three Ulster Unionist ministers on Wednesday in direct response to the IRA's decision to commence the disarmament process.
		DUP sources said Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds would continue to act as "ministers in opposition" and justified the appointments on the grounds that failure to take-up their allocation of posts would see them re-distributed between other parties.
		However Mr Robinson told The Irish Times there was no contradiction between this strategy and the party's determination to prevent Mr Trimble and the SDLP's incoming leader, Mr Mark Durkin, being elected as First and Deputy First Ministers when the Assembly meets for the purpose, almost certainly next Friday.
