A little-known firm of spooks for hire with close links to the CIA now has a base in Belfast part-funded by Stormont cash. It is targetting ex-MI5 officers from Palace Barracks. A man interviewed for a job there was deeply concerned by what he heard.

Why are we so slow to get results in Ireland for the GE? In the UK, the count is far more exciting as the results come in promptly.

This is so wrong. Murder victims families shouldn’t have to put up with this. There would be uproar if this man had murdered and didn’t belong to a terrorist organisation. Victims and survivors of the troubles are asked to turn a blind eye to too much.

I’m not sure how much I really trust opinion polls , however the only opinion poll that really matters is the ballot paper.
Housing is a huge concern of mine. I have adult children, on good salaries, yet struggling to buy anything more than a 1 bed!! How do lower incomes stand a chance!

Last @irishtimes.bsky.social Ipsos poll has FG on a 6pc drop although it’s basically now aligning with we’re all other polls have three big parties, ie, around the 20/20/20 mark. Technically they’re showing in last place but it’s all within the margin of error…

I so understand this. The McConville family just want to let their mum rest in peace and to grieve and live their lives privately. Their wishes should be adhered to.
One of Jean McConville’s sons has said he will not be watching #SayNothing and would “love for everybody to leave us alone.”
