Herald Opinion: Unity must be achieved by consent rather than imposed - Opinion - Roscommon Herald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham was in Belfast last week, where he firmly dismissed the prospect of a border poll any time soon. It appears clear that the British Government has little interest in holding one within the next number of years, and the Government in the Republic may be equally reluctant. Many British politicians are understandably wary of referendums following Brexit and the considerable damage it caused to the United Kingdom. Taoiseach Micheál Martin may well share Burnham’s c

Last week, I wrote about my surprise that motorists around Chipping Norton rarely acknowledged a wave. Several readers contacted me afterwards, including one man who had noticed exactly the same thing. He also mentioned something I had overlooked - the pothole-riddled local roads. Once considered far superior to our own, many of the local roads around Clarkson’s Farm now compare poorly with those in Ireland.

The August Bank Holiday weekend has always been an important time in my corner of Roscommon.

“The famine is over.” Four words that have echoed far and wide over the past week as Mayo people everywhere come to terms with a long-awaited reality: All-Ireland champions at last. Every county begins each season with the same ambition, but Mayo's journey has always felt different. Time and again they came agonisingly close, only for the final step to prove beyond them. For decades, that story was overshadowed by the famous curse of 1951. As the victorious team returned from Dublin, they were s
Herald Opinion: How can a country famous for rain end up rationing water? - Opinion - Roscommon Herald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you had predicted a nationwide hosepipe ban a month ago, you would have been laughed out of the room. This is, after all, Ireland. We joke that summer falls on a Tuesday. Tourists pack waterproofs, not sun cream. Yet, after just a few weeks of dry weather, one of Europe’s wettest nations is facing water rationing. How can a country famous for rain end up rationing water? The easy answer is that climate change is shifting our seasons. Rain no longer falls when or where we need it, and long dry
