9/11: Could its disastrous legacy have been avoided? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty five years ago al-Qaeda militants hijacked four commercial planes in the US and flew two into the World Trade Center in New York and one into the Pentagon , while the fourth crash-landed in a Pennsylvania field. Almost 3,000 people were killed on that day and the world was changed forever. How the US responded to that attack on home soil reverberates still - through everything from airport security to geopolitics – and above all, America’s place in the world. The attack also prompted a ri
Two days of Trump – what to expect in Dublin and Doonbeg (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No one doubts that it is the Irish Open at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel at Doonbeg that is bringing US president Donald Trump back to Ireland.

The Government would need help - but from where? The meetings last week in Druid’s Glen i
How much rain will supersized El Niño bring to Ireland this winter? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As autumn arrives and the supersized El Niño develops, global temperatures will rise, rainfall patterns will radically change and the number of extreme weather events will increase. But what does that mean for Ireland? After the hottest summer on record, predictions of an unusually mild and wet autumn might sound benign, but persistent rain prompts fears of a repeat of last winter’s flooding in the east and southeast. Ireland wasn’t alone in feeling the heat from unusual summer heat patterns dri
