Sinn Féin Assembly member for Newry/Armagh Pat McNamee, on the proposed incinerator in County Louth.

This is in fact the unravelling of a cover up of US ties to repression during the Pinochet dictatorship. This is the first step toward a candid disclosure of the truth about that very dark era.

Robert Tait in last Friday's Irish Examiner on the new evidence to prove US involvement in the assassination of opponents of Pinochet during his tenure as dictator.

Nationalists and republicans will not join, support or endorse what is currently proposed.

Gerry Adams in a down-beat assessment of the policing issue last week.

ICTU Vice President Joe O'Toole on rising inflation and its consequences for the partnership agreement.

SIPTU's Des Geraghty at an ICTU sponsored conference on racism in the workplace.
