Who is Jamie Bryson, the unelected loyalist standing âfront, back and centreâ at Drumcree? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week Jamie Bryson was happily repeating a line he first delivered to Orange Order supporters in Portadown early on Monday morning. âEither the Portadown District goes down [the Garvaghy Road] or the Executive goes down,â he said. Avowedly opposed in his politics to the Belfast Agreement, the 1998 deal underpinning Northern Irelandâs peace process, Bryson would consider either outcome a terrific result. That declaration seemed a trite pompous but, for a period on Monday, it seemed he m
Breandán Mac Cionnaith profile: The ex-IRA man who Tony Blair said âtook unreasonableness to an art formâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To have been a fly on the wall when Breandán Mac Cionnaith met Britainâs Northern Secretary Chris Bryant on Monday afternoon would have been interesting. Former Labour prime minister Tony Blair could have briefed Bryant on what to expect. In his memoir, Blair remembered the Drumcree ânightmareâ that began in the mid-1990s. He didnât specify whether he was referring to the Orange Order or the Garvaghy residents, or both,, but his view was that âthe Drumcree people were the unreasonable
Peadar TóibÃn thinks big with hopes of more seats â and possibly holding balance of power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aontú leader Peadar TóibÃn, buoyed by a recent political poll, was envisaging great gains by his party on both sides of the Border at his partyâs think-in in Derry on Saturday. But he will know that, like the stock exchange, polls and political popularity can go down as well as up. Still, sufficient for the day is the pleasure thereof and TóibÃn wasnât going to miss an opportunity to major on how an Ireland Thinks poll for the Sunday Independent had Aontú at 8 per cent, the same as the
Aontú has hopes for twelve seats in next general election, Peadar TóibÃn tells party faithful (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aontú could win up to twelve seats in the next Irish general election and alongside significant gains in next yearâs Stormont and local elections in Northern Ireland, leader Peadar TóibÃn told members at the partyâs annual think-in in Derry on Saturday. Aontú was experiencing âenormous growthâ because it was pursuing policies that mattered to grassroots people while Sinn Féin was âlocked in a downward spiral in relation to the delivery of public servicesâ, he told party faithful
Andy Burnham in Belfast: Mixing up Donegal and Drogheda, but crystal clear on Border poll (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andy Burnham in Belfast on Thursday was rather confused about the origin of his Irish antecedents â weâll come to that â but he was in no doubt about his position on a Border poll on a united Ireland. He is against it. And there was no prevarication. âI am here to listen and to collaborate but some issues will be off the table, and that is one of them,â he told The Irish Times. And in case there was any doubt on the matter, in separate interviews with BBC Northern Ireland and UTV he re
