1858 - 2008 Irish Republican Brotherhood 150th Anniversary 
WILLIAM MACKAY LOMASNEY may be little known in general historical terms but the explosive exploits of the diminutive Irish-American, a master of disguise creating mayhem for crown forces in Cork and taking the war to England, made him the sort of guerrilla leader that Michael Collins was to gain fame as 50 years later. State Papers : 1977 Paisley prominent as usual 
As with most years of the conflict the name of Ian Paisley features prominently in recently released British state papers for 1977. The leader of the DUP attempted a re-run of the 1974 UWC strike when unionists opposed to the 1974 Sunningdale Agreement brought the Six Counties to a standstill. However the 1977 Paisley lead strike was largely unsuccessful.

The State papers released under the 30-year rule expose once again the duplicitous role of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael-Labour governments regarding the British government in Ireland and policy towards partition and the conflict in the Six Counties. Their own claimed republican heritage became an embarrassment to them while they turned a blind eye to Garda Heavy Gang brutality carried out in their name.

TV Review No Go: The Free Derry Story Tuesday 8 January BBC1 Reviewed by Peadar Whelan Shell to Sea: The struggle continues 
THE year 2007 started with the Shell to Sea campaign on a very uneven footing. The brutal attacks on protesters at the end of the previous year and Shell's complete intransigence and refusal to even examine alternatives to their scheme to pump raw gas from the bottom of the sea to a huge refinery miles inland had left many people uncertain of the future. Photo: The brutal state response to Shell-to Sea protests in Mayo continued throughout 2007 Go dti seo sa bhaile bhí a fhios ag achan nduine idir óg agus aosta, ó na bailte is mó go dtí na bailte fearainn is lú, cá h-áit a raibh na ceantaracha is láidre fa choinne cluichí airithe m.sh. Ciarraí fa choinne Peil, Corcaigh fa choinne Iomanaíocht agus peil, Luimnigh fa choinne rugbai, Oilean Acala fa choinne teoraiocht an dreoilín agus Loch Garman fa choinne pósadh na gcolcatharacha 
THERE ought to be a special crown for all of those hardy souls who venture out to watch their county play in the early-season competitions: if not eternal life, then certainly a guaranteed ticket for big games later in the year. For the political and media establishment in Ireland there is probably only one thing causing more sleepless nights than the possibility of losing the referendum on the Lisbon Treaty this year. That is the possibility of Sinn Féin, as the only significant party calling for a No vote, being seen as leading such a campaign. |
