Trump puts his name to Irish unity - opinion - Western People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The gold letters always go up last. That’s the order of things with Donald Trump. Buy the building, fix the roof, then bolt the name across the front in a typeface you can read from a moving car. Doonbeg has had its set for years, out on the dunes where the Atlantic comes in sideways and the marram grass lies flat eight months of the year. On Saturday he acquired one more property. He put his name on a united Ireland. “I’d love to see it happen,” he said in Dublin. Inevitable, he called it. A gr
The giant fish that kept coming back - opinion - Western People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The car park at Keem fills by about 11am most days in August. Later than that and you're walking, or you're taking the shuttle out from Keel at five euro the return, which is a sentence that would have meant nothing at all on this island seventy years ago. Lonely Planet has the beach among the hundred best in the world. A share of the crowd are here because they saw it in Banshees of Inisherin and fancy standing where Colin Farrell stood being wretched at Brendan Gleeson. It's a lovely spot. Not
Penance by stripes - opinion - Western People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No child I’ve ever known has ever said it, not in the whole squalling history of the back seat, that sticky annex of grievance and melted Fruit Pastilles where somebody needs the toilet nine minutes after the last stop. Eamon Ryan closes his Irish Times column (August 25th) on a question he imagines a child putting to a parent at the wheel: “Why are we driving a vehicle that is killing our planet?” And then the child, warming to the theme, adds that the better alternative is already so obviously
The life of the robin is not what you think - opinion - Western People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've written about the robin before, at Christmas, and I made a hames of it. Not in the small ways, though there were those as well. Wrong in the way that counts. I had the bird down as a sort of mystic emissary, a scarlet ember of pagan vitality smouldering away in the winter murk, and I piled on the Druids and the Crown of Thorns and a fair quantity of purple about regenerative energies. Reading it back is a specific kind of cold. I wasn't writing about a bird at all. I was writing about mysel
Arrivals and departures in our 'ghost' hotels - opinion - Western People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a hotel on the road into every western town that hasn't hosted a wedding in four years. The car park's full. The lights are on in the evening. And not one person sleeping there picked the curtains or the carpet or the grim little kettle bolted to the tray. Since the spring of 2022 it's been home to people who arrived with a wheelie case and a phone full of a country being shelled. This autumn, the coaches come back for them. The Government calls it a transition. Of course it does. Minist
