Donald Tusk / TwitterIf in London someone assumes that the #Brexit negotiations will deal with other issues first, before moving to the Irish issue, my response would be: Ireland first.
— António Costa (@eucopresident) March 8, 2018
European Council president Donald Tusk signaled the importance of Ireland in Brexit negotiations.
I believe that women should be ordained, I believe the theology on which that is based is pure codology. I’m not even going to be bothered arguing it. Sooner or later it’ll fall apart, fall asunder under its own dead weight.
Former president of Ireland Mary McAleese pulled no punches in her criticism of Catholic Church this week.
I was deeply and concerned about recent exclusions of her. I think she’s a very important person in speaking on matters of spiritual significance, not just spiritual significance but in terms of the right to believe.
The current president of Ireland Michael D Higgins went to bat for McAleese, in an interview with Ryan Tubridy on RTÉ Radio 1.
I await their inevitable hate. They will probably call me a snowflake – the word adopted by right-wingers when they want to belittle millennial entitlement. Or a bleeding-heart liberal who’s been got at by the politically correct brigade. I am neither. If only I was a millennial – I’d be at least 20 years younger. And I am certainly not a liberal. Dealing with politics for 30 years has made me cynical of any political stance.
Editor of The Bristol Post, Mike Norton, on expected criticisms of his paper’s decision to apologise for a 1996 front page.
Just do something! Just do something! We are dying.

When I was 18 years old, I started using a wheelchair and people immediately had a different attitude with me.
Niamh Ni Ruari wrote about the impact using a wheelchair has on her life.
Who and what am I now that I am no longer a wife or a carer? Being the ex-carer of a spouse who has died has left me with an awful void in my life.
Annie McGuinness wrote about the often forgotten side of being a carer.
We will escalate our protests until our demands are met.

€12 million for a cycle bridge and more homeless people than ever. Something is seriously wrong with the people in charge!
Funny that the Chief Constable decides to stand with SF now making such a statement. Maybe he can have a word with the fools we call politicians down here. Joan Burton thinks the PIRA have rearmed and have thousands of volunteers ready to restart the armed struggle going on her ridiculous statement yesterday. The dissidents in Derry, Belfast and Lurgan are going to love this, they can now say that their point has been proven-that even if SF and the PIRA have given up the armed struggle and renounced violence they would be shafted. I look forward to the bounce in dissident violence and our FF/FG/Labour fools can be partly blamed. They are willing to play dangerous games with the peace process for their own selfish reasons, hoping it will stunt the growth of SF and save a few of their fat backhinds to keep on milking our Dail gravy train!
