Kathy Sheridan: You donât boycott an Ed Sheeran tour just to look cool with a Peace sign. Boycotts hurt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following weeks of feverish chat about boycotts, we may have learned something. Boycotts are about more than hitting the âlikeâ button on a social media post. Principles cost. Boycotts hurt. They hurt not just the intended target but the executor. In other words, you donât withdraw from a mammoth Ed Sheeran tour just to look cool with your peace sign. It wonât just break your musical heart, it will probably destroy your solvency plan. When Ed Sheeranâs Irish backing band, Beoga, left t

Protest is all we have left. Thatâs why people in their 60s and 70s who havenât marched in decades will be out this weekend. Though slogans, songs and chants were always the rhythm of protests, maybe not this time. Nor will the usual bellowed speeches be necessary. The converted need no preachers. Just a record crowd in one place. And silence. A requiem for humanity. None of it should be necessary. It should have ended in Myrtle Beach in South Carolina on November 24th, 2015, when then-presi

He felt like he was âliving in crazy townâ, he told the writer Ruby Cram

A glance at The Irish Timesâs most read metric confirms something weâve always suspected. As a nation we are very eager to score our performance against others. Whether itâs the opinions of Irish people living abroad or of foreigners living in Ireland, a strong soundbite in the headline will land it in the top 10. âAustralia isnât a magic golden ticketâ is riding high. As is: âMy only regret, I didnât move [abroad] soonerâ. There is nothing like a crazily circuitous bus journey
Kathy Sheridan: They felt like masters of the universe. They werenât even masters of themselves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a lonely Inishowen road in July 2010, only the driver survived of eight young men packed into a single car. The oldest was 23. The eighth fatality was Hugh Friel, a kindly 66-year-old farmer driving home from bingo. At Frielâs funeral in Clonmany, Fr Fintan Diggin reflected on the huge cultural change since he first arrived in the traditional fishing community. Where many of the houses then had displayed mementoes of loved ones lost at sea, that had changed to the loss of life on land, âa
