The only surprising aspect of the statement in which more than 100 Tyrone people criticised Michelle O’Neill last week was that it was not issued...
Don’t blame the American electorate – blame the Democratic Party. That, sadly, is the most useful way to understand the outcome of the US...
Is Stormont’s unaccountable system of government truly democratic? The Civil Liberties Union for Europe’s classification of governments would...
While Sinn Féin’s recent troubles have largely been explained in terms of poor communications and faulty decision-making, the party’s...
The Irish government’s plan to abandon neutrality is compromising the safety of its own troops. That’s the inevitable conclusion from Ireland’s...
The American bishop Fulton Sheen once made the humorous comment that hearing nuns’ confessions was a bit like being stoned to death with popcorn....
A united Ireland is as far away as ever – and, after this week, it may even be a bit further away than it used to be. That’s the inevitable...
It is sad, but increasingly obvious, that those responsible for the almost 4,000 deaths during the Troubles here are determined to ensure that the...
It is an interesting reflection on Stormont’s priorities that Casement Park is more important than education, poverty, infrastructure or the...
In fairness to the Stormont Executive parties, their long-awaited Programme for Government (PfG) has adopted a novel approach to policy making. Most...
A new leader will do little for the SDLP unless it adopts a new approach to politics. For 20 years it has failed to realise that if you keep doing the...
Today is the 30th anniversary of the Provisional IRA ceasefire. In 1994, after their “inevitable” 25-year war for ‘Brits Out’, the IRA decided...
We Irish have many wonderful virtues, but perhaps our greatest asset is our ability to be two-faced. Indeed, to show our national commitment to...
So that’s the problem solved then. After an outburst of racism, all we had to do was to lock up the rioters, throw away the key and everything can...
If this is August, it must be time for the annual political row over the Wolfe Tones’ concert at Feile an Phobail. DUP indignation at “Ooh, ah,...
Now that our politicians have gone on holiday (not that you would notice the difference) it might be a good time to write an end-of-term report on the...
In view of the weekend that’s in it, now might be a good time to ask how well the GAA is performing as an organisation. Behind the scramble for...
Let’s have a conversation. No, not about a united Ireland, which just involves nationalists talking to each other. Let’s have a conversation which...
It used to be the Americans who arrived here full of blarney. You know the sort of thing: what wonderful people we are, how much they think of us and...
The Conservatives have gone and unionism is in disarray – that’s the story of the 2024 general election. However, behind the headlines, an...
As the general election campaign enters its final week, we can only look with envy at the electorate across the water. They can change the government...
Oh good, we are going to get a united Ireland. Yes, we are heading for what Aontú's Peadar Tóibín last week called “that sunny day”. Mary Lou...
They say that if you stay in a job long enough you either get canonised or found out. In last week’s southern elections, Sinn Féin was found out....
It is time to kick the Tories out. That’s the message from Sinn Féin and the SDLP for the forthcoming general election and a fine message it is...
While other countries hold general elections on the basis of social and economic policies, we tend to do things differently here. For us, a general...
Despite all the talk, a united Ireland remains an idyllic concept which is largely territorial in intent, rather than centred on uniting people. The...
The British have often suggested that the Irish are obsessed with the past. So in a remarkable outburst of political benevolence, they have now...
This column would like to apologise for being too polite about the Stormont Executive during the Covid pandemic. Although highly critical of the...
Do you remember when unionists used to call for the border to be sealed? They said that what they called political subversives from the south were not...
It is good to see foreign policy agreement between Britain and Ireland, particularly over Russia. David Cameron has accused the Russian government of...
Is it worth fighting wars for the prospect of a united Ireland? No, not a war like the one the IRA lost. Is it worth fighting for the USA and the EU...
“Events, dear boy, events.” That, according to former prime minister Harold Macmillan, was the most likely influence on political careers and...
How relevant is the 1916 Proclamation today? Seen as the foundation stone of modern Irish nationalism, it will be read aloud at commemorative...
Dear First and Deputy First Ministers. Congratulations on your appointments. We wish you well in your new jobs. While we realise that you consider it...
The presence of Sinn Féin in the White House this weekend highlights a point which most commentary about the Kenova Report failed to recognise. The...
For the first time in modern Irish history, Fianna Fáil’s (FF) campaign for a 26-county general election was launched at Stormont (Well, in the...
Dear Conor Murphy, Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for the Economy. We wish you well in your new job. You have identified education as...
If timing is everything in politics, the SDLP has picked a bad time to become Stormont’s official opposition. The deluge of promises (again) from...
In view of the epidemic of symbolism currently sweeping Stormont, is it time to remove Edward Carson’s statue? Yes, you say, and perhaps you had in...
Eureka! Twenty-six years after the Good Friday Agreement, Stormont’s main parties have made an amazing discovery. They have realised that the...
So farewell then, unionism. You were once a colossus bestriding the north’s political landscape, electorally almighty and administratively all...
In his famous 1968 television address, Captain Terence O’Neill said “Ulster stands at the crossroads”. Although we no longer have a unionist...
Oh good, the secretary of state is going to make a decision. Yes, Chris Heaton-Harris (HH) has promised he will decide what to do if the DUP does not...
It is generally agreed that we should speak only good of the dead, but in the case of General Frank Kitson who died last week, some might be prepared...
