Remembering the Past: Classic case of collusion

On 27 January 1977, Michael McHugh was murdered by two members of the UDA, one of them a British Army agent, at Aghyaran or Corgary near Castlederg, County Tyrone

Migrant workers -Leitrim can lead the way

Leitrim has long suffered from emigration that saw its population decline steadily in almost every decade of the 20th Century. It is only in very recent times that this haemorrhage has subsided. Now Leitrim, like every other County in the 26 Counties, is host to an entirely new phenomenon - immigration. Here Leitrim County Councillor Michael Colreavy argues that this can be of benefit to Leitrim, Ireland and those people who have come here seeking work, but only if managed properly and sensibly

Why are our young men killing themselves?

Poverty and gender have emerged as significant factors in the increasing rate of suicide in the North. A growing phenomenon of young working-class men taking their own lives has led to calls for a more pro-active approach to prevention.

Cúlchaint: An Union Jack i Croker! - le Seán ó Donaile

Agus mé I mo ghasúr ní raibh baint ar bith againn leis an diabhal sacair nó na cluiche Gallda i gCondae an Chláir. Bhí dúil ar fad againn san iomáint agus mar a dúirt an t-uasal Ger Loughnane is ionann an saol agus an iomáint.

Dublin's GAA story

Ré nua do shacar na hÉireann

Steve Staunton agus Bobby Robinson

Níl amhras ann ach go bhfuil ré nua i ndán do fhoireann shacar na hÉireann ó a tháinig Steve Staunton i gcomharbacht mar bhainisteoir nua ar an bhfoireann náisiúnta. Iar-imreoir d'fhoireann na hÉireann is ea Staunton a d'imir 102 uair, níos mó ná aon imreoir eile agus a chaith babhta de mar chaptaen ar an bhfoireann úd. Níl mórán taithí aige mar bhainisteoir ach mar leas-bhainisteoir le foireann Wallsall i Sasana. Tá Bobby Robson ceaptha mar chomhairleoir do Staunton, ag tabhairt san áireamh an taithí ollmhór aige mar bhainisteoir ar fhoireann náisiúnta Shasana, foirne shacar ar nós Ipswich, Barcelona, Lisbon, Newcastle agus eile.

MediaView: Media Neo-Liberals take over - BY FRANK FARRELL

Stephen Collins

Come back Conor Brady, all is (almost) forgiven. Former Irish Times editor Brady, a Fine Gael supporter once nicknamed 'The Commissioner' because of his strong Garda background, was hardly progressive. He presided over a newspaper that was heavily influenced by the Workers Party/Democratic Left moles (the real agents of influence inside Irish society over the last 30 years) and it was the bible of the liberal middle class and intelligentsia.
