Do we really see the risen Christ screaming abuse at others? Do we see Him demanding his rights without regard to the rights of others? Do we see Him in the rejection of reasonable assurances asked by the primate [Dr. Robin Eames] from those attending public worship at Drumcree?
Dr. Walton Empey, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin in his Easter address, the Irish Times, Monday, 5 April.
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb.
In-depth analysis on the `Irish' Sun's front page last Thursday relating to the NATO bombing of Kosovo.
Stateless, landless and derelict: the forelorn lost tribe of Kosovo... Somewhere, somehow, somebody should have been here with hot food and shelter at the very least.

Gerry Adams, speaking after last Thursday's declaration by the two governments.
We have made it clear, both privately and publicly, that any resolution of these difficulties has to be within the context of the Good Friday Agreement.

Gerry Adams. Irish Times, Friday 2 April.
The baby, a boy, is six feet, nine inches. Sorry, six pounds, nine ounces.
Martin McGuinness announcing the news that he has become a grandfather for the first time at Hillsborough last week.
As far as we're concerned in Sinn Féin, at every stage of this peace process when we gave our word we kept it. We have behaved honourably to the end, it is now time for others to behave honourably and give their word. The time for delays is over, the time for clarity is here.
Martin McGuinness is his Easter address in Dundalk.
We cannot deliver the demand for IRA weapons, no matter how this is presented.
Sinn Féin's Bairbre De Brún, speaking at the Easter commemoration in County Tyrone.
