Great if you can afford it - what about the left behind, like the elderly who are too poor to buy and too rich for social housing? It seems to me that the reforms are aimed at the young & aspiring!

#OnThisDay 100 years ago, The Plough and the Stars by Sean O'Casey premiered at the Abbey Theatre.

At its original production in February 1926, the audience rioted. Now regarded as a masterpiece, this provocative play is an essential part of our understanding of Irish history and Irish theatre.

Ukraine denies involvement in attempted assassination of Russian general Alekseev
