The dream is now a reality - Jerusalem Cafe & Bakery. #Jerusalem #Derry #DreamsComeTrue

Helmets, Helmets, Helmets…

The call from @GAA_Palestine for assistance.

Stephen Redmond’s vision to bring Gaelic games to the West Bank is a powerful testament to the unifying and uplifting power of sport.

Tánaiste says in Northern Ireland that Irish Unity is not a "priority" for him Tánaiste says his priority is harnessing the "full potential" of the Good Friday Agreement - while others argue that the Irish Unity debate can no longer be avoided.

“Colin Harvey, a Professor in the School of Law at Queen’s University Belfast, says that the time for running away from debate about constitutional change is over.”
