1990s

IPA 1990s In 1999 Section UK prepared itself for the 21st century, by entering the internet age. Thanks to a role in the Force Control Room, Strathclyde Officer, Jim McNulty

became something of a computer geek. A fter he retired, Jim decided to give something back to the IPA, of which he had been a member since 1971. The Association had been quoted £5,000 per year (a phenomenal sum in 1999) to professionally host a website. But Jim spent a year and a half, bringing in something just as good, at a fraction of the cost. 1997 saw Northern Ireland host Section UK’s National Council meeting at the Limavady hotel (now Roe Park Hotel). Section UK Treasurer, Fred Boyd was among the guests, and provided a photograph of himself and Arthur Troop, with some very elegant looking delegates.
