    Irish Army’s next big mission: California, Orlando and New York (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Design the ideal Irish family holiday to the United States and you might come up with the following itinerary: Dublin – California – Orlando – New York – Dublin. With no fewer than two opportunities to meet Elsa from Frozen followed by Sex and the City and Sopranos tours, everyone should be happy. One delegation that was categorically not on holiday, however, was the crew of the Air Corps’s newish strategic reach aircraft, the Dassault Falcon 6X, which commenced what the Defence Forces

    London has a ‘terrible’ housing crisis coming soon, says Irish man who would know (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    From Guinness and Kerrygold to Joanne McNally and Fontaines DC, many aspects of Irish culture have made a serious mark in London in recent years. So perhaps it’s not surprising that in that nearby metropolis, a housing crisis is on the horizon. Londoners, chomping on their Tandragee Tayto, think they’re already in the teeth of a crunch. But, as is often the case, it took an Irish expat in their midst to explain that they’re not quite getting it right. “When people talk about London’s h

    Why aren’t the Irish more enthusiastic about eating fish? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The furthest point in Ireland from the sea is Moyvore, Co Westmeath, about 100km (or an hour and a half in the car) in either direction. The State has an Exclusive Economic Zone of 450,000km², 10 times its territorial extent, thanks to being on an island with much sea frontage. You would think, therefore, that a love of seafood and a developed cuisine would have emerged naturally over time. But this appears not to be the case. Why don’t we eat more fish? Why don’t we do it with passion, rev

    From soda bread to knowing who Leo Varadkar is, Sarah Jessica Parker gets more Irish by the day (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    More Irish than the Irish themselves: Jack Charlton, certain Anglo-Normans and, in recent years, Sarah Jessica Parker. A Donegal woman who winters in Manhattan, the Sex and the City star recently showed her palate narrowing to Irish specifications by posting to Instagram some soda bread and a hearty brothy soup she had whipped up for herself. Parker, not quite at native levels with Irish cuisine, ate the soup and bread for breakfast. “All I’m missing is the smell of turf,” she said. Her re

    Who is Daniel Kinahan? The BBC doesn’t seem too clear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The world’s attention alighted on Ireland this week for two reasons: firstly, it’s August and all other news has gone to its beach house to relax for the rest of the month. And secondly, because Daniel Kinahan, a figure of international importance, was extradited to Dublin and charged. There is no crime in this interest, other than possibly the alleged crime of directing a criminal organisation, subject to the decision of the Special Criminal Court and remembering always the presumption of i
