EDITORIAL: Back To No Future (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in the late 1990s, when Drumcree and the Garvaghy road were headlines in ink that never went dry, the Echo featured a front page cover photo for the top drawer archives. It was a photo of tiny Drumcree church with the headline "All Quiet In Drumcree." This was a reference to the fact that there had been no violence in the vicinity of the church, or nearby Garvaghy Road. But the photo also delivered a clear picture of the day that was in it, of those pre-peace process times. Hovering over th

Read excerpt
We will hear the line again and again in the coming days. I can't believe it has been 25 years. But it has been a quarter of a century since the peace of a peach of a late summer day was shattered by a barbarous attack on New York City, the Pentagon, and in the blue sky over Pennsylvania.

It has been one of those summers in Ireland, the kind of season that people will be referring back to years from now. Many in Ireland still talk of the summers of 1975 and 1976, especially the latter. The summer of 2026 will be similarly remembered - unless it has multiple follow-on companions which stand out in a similar vein. This summer in Ireland has been a grand one if you are heading for a park or a beach, or simply enjoy sunshine in a part of the world where it is never fully guaranteed.
Garden Saved (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a world on fire every bit of green counts. Elizabeth Street Garden in Lower Manhattan is a tiny sliver of green in the mostly asphalt and concrete expanse of New York City. It was targeted by the city for a housing project, albeit a much needed affordable one. But after a 13 year legal battle the word has come down that the garden will live. With little sense of irony, back in 2012 the city backed a proposed development called "Haven Green." had it gone ahead would have been plonked atop an a
