British–Irish Council
The British–Irish Council (BIC) is an international organisation established under the Belfast Agreement in 1998, and formally established on 2 December 1999 on the entry into force of the consequent legislation. Its membership comprises representatives from the governments of Ireland; the United Kingdom; three of the four countries of the UK (Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales); and three British Crown dependencies: Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey. Because England does not have a devolved government, it is not represented on the Council as a separate entity. It has been agreed that the BIC standing secretariat was to be located in Scotland.

Where is Douglas?
Douglas is situated on the east of the island near the confluence point of two rivers, the Dhoo and the Glass. At Douglas, the rivers flow through the quay and into Douglas Bay. A gently sloping valley runs inland. Hills lie to the north-west and south-east.
The town is surrounded by several other smaller towns and villages, most notably Onchan to the north (which forms a conurbation with Douglas) and Union Mills to the west.
Douglas
Douglas (Manx: Doolish) is the capital and largest town of the Isle of Man. It is located at the mouth of the River Douglas, and a sweeping bay of two miles. The River Douglas forms part of the town's harbour and main commercial port.
Douglas is home to the High Courts and the Isle of Man Government.
The town serves as the Island's main hub for business, finance, shipping, transport, shopping, and entertainment.
