PSNI admits illegally obtaining data from Belfast journalist's phone In September MI5 conceded it had breached Vincent Kearney's source protection and privacy rights by accessing his communications data.

next time you watch Blue Lights, please remember this

Last year it was revealed that MI5 broke into a safe being used by investigators examining the activities of Stakeknife (an British agent in the IRA involved in multiple murders and abductions)

A part of Akinola Davies Jr's speech the BBC decided not to air

an historian claiming that nationalists from the six counties were only demonised since the 1960s is quite the take

I am once again asking Irish journalists to look at a map

Once more:

Omar El Akkad: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

Bono: Have you heard my new EP

Antrim haven't won a senior intercounty game in either code in 2026. You all need to stop what you're doing and give this pause

Glad that the Daily Mail finally addressed this global crisis on this slow news day

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The Swiss commentator is telling viewers about Israel’s war crimes that the team’s pilot has openly supported while the Israeli bobsleigh team is racing.

Tóibin said it was shocking the Minister did not know how many people arriving in Ireland had originally applied for asylum in another EU country. “What information they do have shows a big increase in the numbers of asylum seekers coming from other countries,” he said. “We have a lot of people who are coming into my constituency offices who originally applied for asylum in Italy. Last year there was a period where many people coming into my constituency office had applied originally in Sweden.”

“Of the 417 Dublin III transfer decisions issued last year only two happened. That’s a stunning failure to implement the law,” he said. “That’s an effectiveness of less than 0.5 per cent. The Government has failed miserably to implement agreed European law.”

Peadar Tóibín's constituents come to his office for help. He goes to the Minister and the press to complain about them not being deported.

delirious indexing

the gender balance of this upcoming conference on the Irish border in Maynooth is pretty baffling

the fact she came out as a unionist in 2022 still makes me laugh

Finding hard to swallow some Irish people saying politics should be kept out of sport when the British Army massacred players and spectators in the largest sporting ground in the country... It was political when IRFU refused to boycott apartheid SA, it is political when FAI refuses to do so for 🇮🇱

Next week, #BCIrishStudies will host a symposium highlighting the 15 interdisciplinary essays in the fully illustrated catalog (edited by Marjorie Howes) accompanying the 'Collaborating in Conflict: The Yeats Family & The Public Arts' exhibition currently at the McMullen Museum

We shouldn't play Israel.
Its not complicated, the FAI rightly called for Israel to be banned from FIFA, we have a chance to walk the walk. Refuse to play.

Also I'm sure plenty of other people with no connection to Celtic or the Easter Rising

Martin O'Neill, Eoin MacNeill, the drunken vainglorious lout of 'Easter, 1916', and the priest who wrote 'The Foggy Dew' (also called O'Neill)

Growing up in NI during the Troubles involved turning on the news most days with trepidation but i especially remember how the murders of ‘troublesome’ nationalist HR lawyers - inc also Rosemary Nelson - made us feel particularly vulnerable and not only unprotected but targeted by the state.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Wait til he hears about the part of the 'UK' that isn't Britain

Martin like many other twenty six county revisionists will balance any act of loyalist or British state terrorism with the actions of republicans, while of course never once doing the same in reverse

When you're an educator and this is your first reaction to a massacre at a school, there's something fundamentally wrong with your moral compass... I suppose when you are the scion of a political dynasty, everything is just a game to you.

really is quite the thing to use British collusion to try settle scores with Sinn Féin
