Ar chuairt ar na colcheathracha

Tá mé ag dul ar shaoire an tseachtain seo chuig an Bhriotáin; tá an bosca ar dhíon an ghluaisteáin, lán go béal le héadaí, bróga, crocs, buicéid agus rámhainn, uachtar réamhghreine, uachtar iarghréine, culaith snámha agus éadaí do na laethanta fliucha.

Remembering the Past

ONE of the largest military operations undertaken by the British Army since the end of the Second World War was mounted across the Six Counties on the last day of July 1972. The background to 'Operation Motorman' was the British breach of the truce with the IRA which had lasted from 26 June to 9 July 1972.

Our worried-looking Editor takes this opportunity to earnestly remind readers of a nervous disposition and Max Mosley's libel lawyers that sports columnists do not reflect the official views of Sinn Féin or An Phoblacht.
