Remember this video for the centenary of Easter Rising 2016 - ‘ahistorical sh*te’ (D Ferriter)- defended by the then Heritage Minister! No mention of Pearse, Skinnider etc-but included the Queen, U2. Is this a president we want,one who evades #aras25 #speirgorm

Heritage Minister happy with controversial 2016 video

The Arts and Heritage Minister said she is happy with the backlash against the official 1916 commemoration video, because it started a conversation.

IMHO, the posters for After the Hunt look like ads for Marks & Spencers' autumn range.

Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play.

‘I feel obliged to state once more that… I too support Palestine Action. … If the British state considers this "terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith
and the BBC.’

ted.
In this context I feel obliged to state once more that - like the hundreds of protesters arrested last weekend - I too support Palestine Action. If this makes me a "supporter of terror" un-
der UK law, so be it. My books, at least for now, are still published in Britain, and are widely available in bookshops and even supermarkets. In recent years the UK's state broadcaster has also televised two fine adaptations of my novels, and therefore regularly pays me residual fees. I want to be clear that I intend to use these pro-ceeds of my work, as well as my public platform generally, to go on support-ing Palestine Action and direct action against genocide in whatever way I can. If the British state considers this
"terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith
and the BBC.

What's the first thing you think of when Bertie Ahern is mentioned?

For me, it's this:

Ahern apologises for suicide remark

The Taoiseach has apologised for saying he did not know how people who engaged in moaning about the economy did not commit suicide.
