Spare a thought for the unfortunate "city fathers" of Cork, whose lives are being made a misery by unruly Shinners both inside and outside the council chamber. Cork City Council used to be a cosy set-up. Councillors' main business was to make long-winded speeches congratulating themselves and the City Manager on what a great job they were all doing.

The death has occurred in Belfast of 82-year-old Billy Herity, who lived in Dundalk for much of the past 28 years. Billy was a great supporter of the Republican Movement long before the conflict re-erupted in August 1969. In the early 1970s his family were intimidated out of their home in the Springfield area by loyalist paramilitaries and moved to Beechmount. |
