		Belfast blossomed as a commercial and industrial centre in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and thanks to its thriving linen, rope-making, tobacco and shipbuilding industries, became the most industrialised city in Ireland.
		To the north of Belfast are the Glens of Antrim in County Antrim, and to the south, the Castlereagh Hills in County Down.
		Belfast City Centre is divided by two postcodes, BT1 for the area lying north of the City Hall, and BT2 for the area south of the City Hall.

	Belfast West (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Belfast West is a Parliamentary Constituency in the House of Commons and also an Assembly constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
		Belfast West has historically been the most nationalist of Belfast's four constituencies, though it is only in the last few decades that the votes for unionist parties have plunged to tiny levels.
		The constituency is largely made of a long, slender, belt along the Falls Road and its suburban extensions, with three of the five wards from the staunchly unionist Shankill area now something of a bolt-on, with a several kilometre long Peace Line dividing them from the rest of the constituency.

		In any event had he opted to contest South Belfast his electoral endorsement would not be as derisively low as the 102 he pulled the last time he faced the Sinn Fein boss in 1997 in the west of the city.
		Other constituencies which over the years returned representatives who defended repression, thwarted investigation into state murder, unequivocally backed a police force that tortured those in its custody and murdered children with plastic bullets, seem to have escaped the invective directed at West Belfast.
		Yet it is all too easy in West Belfast for those who narrow their focus down to opposing punishment attacks to be cast in the garments of FAIT which double up as a loser's medal.

	PR for Westminster elections in Northern Ireland? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The whole of Northern Ireland elects three members to the European Parliament by STV; each parliamentary constituency elects six members to the Northern Ireland Assembly; and the 582 members of the 26 local councils are elected from 101 electoral areas, each of which returns five, six or seven representatives.
		The biggest problem with this arrangement is that five of the six largest constituencies by electorate end up in Unit C, and the three smallest in Unit B, thus reinforcing rather than ironing out the disparities in population.
		In addition, because of the concentration of disproportionately large constituencies in the south-east and of relatively small constituencies in the north-west, existing disparities in constituency size would probably be reinforced rather than ironed out.

	Adams Article Fuels Republican Debate by Ed Moloney
		The Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has intensified the dispute with Republican dissidents in his own west Belfast constituency by calling the two authors of a newspaper article blaming the Provisional IRA for the recent killing of Joe O’Connor, "fellow travellers" of the Real IRA.
		The pair deny this and say the only purpose of their article published in the Belfast Irish News shortly after O’Connor’s death was to establish collective Provisional IRA responsibility.
		In two other omissions which may be significant the SF leader did not condemn the killing nor did he say who he thought had been responsible for the death which took place in the heart of his constituency and in the strongest Republican area in Belfast.
