The new partnership between Queens University Belfast and Dundalk Institute of Technology is not a "parent child relationship," and represents the first "all-Ireland university", the Minister for Further and Higher Education has said.

Fáilte roimh chách!
I just hope everyone who likes to mention that they'd love to learn Irish and asking Irish speakers to help them and not leave them out are also talking about investment in the Gaeltacht when politicians come canvassing. I hope they're asking for new local Gaelscoileanna and more GA career paths

#Áras25 The Irish Times Oct 29. 2025 Election commentary Sir. - Much of the commentary on the presidential election has focused on trving to interpret the meaning be- hind spoiled votes, and what they sug- gest about the gap between parts of the electorate and our political class. Catherine Connolly's victory, how- ever, points to an overlooked gap-the one between voters and much of the prevailing media consensus. More than 900,000 people - the largest number ever to support a presidential candidate - voted for her despite weeks of coverage often portraying her views on neutrality, Nato, Pales- tine, and prisoner rehabilitation as na- ive. riskv or dangerous Taken together. these results sug- gest a public that feels misread from the political and media spheres. Un- less those gaps are honestly examined as a whole, politicians and iournalists may risk continuing to speak to each other in circles. - Yours, etc. LORCAN MYLES, Drogheda, Co Louth.

“Mr Reynolds said both Irish and Ulster Scots, Ulster British are in "different places" in Northern Ireland.”
That would be because “Ulster British” as a minority rights concept does not exist

my controversial opinion is that i do actually think it's fine for us to at least talk about updating the process by which candidates get on the presidential ballot. my less controversial opinion is that i do not trust FF/FG to be anywhere near that conversation.

Over the last few days the Taoiseach and one of his Ministers have made speeches showing that theh think the President as a mere symbol : indeed the Minister said that the Constitution plainly prevented him from being anything more. The Constitution says no such thing; on thr contrary Article 12.8 obliges the President to swear , on taking up his office "that I will dedicate my abilities to the service and welfare of the people of Ireland." I think it would be intolerable if a President were, for example, to behave with open hostility towards a Government, but I do not accept that (apart from the special Presidential Message to the Nation: Article 13.7) his right of free speech should be thought more limited than that of any other citizen and, as I have already written to yoy, he should feel free to take constructive initiatives of his own jn the interest of the nation ans society. The President should be an office for an activebrave and imaginative man, npt a socket fpr a totem pole.

Looking like a resounding victory for Catherine Connolly.
A huge moment for the united left in Ireland, for the many young people whose energy and optimism fuelled Connolly’s campaign, and a pretty clear rejection of uninspiring government party candidates who couldn’t offer a vision.
