Newton Emerson: Drumcree standoff puts a significant achievement of the peace process at risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âNo talking, no walkingâ was the position of the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition from the outset of the dispute in 1995. If Portadown District Orange Lodge would not talk to residents, they would not agree to a parade. The Orangemen would not talk because they believed they needed no consent from residents to walk âthe Queenâs highwayâ. They did engage in shuttle diplomacy in 1995, with mediators moving between both sides until a parade was agreed. But the lack of direct contact led
Newton Emerson: As controversy grows over Leaving Cert reform, Northern Ireland is going the other way (opens the original)

Traditional teaching works and progressive teaching fails. That is the inescapable conclusion of the 2025 international school rankings, published this month by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Developmentâs (OECDâs) Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa). England was the best-performing country outside East Asia, apart from Estonia, entering the top 10 in all subject categories.

Sinn Féinâs immigration policy will need to be tougher than everyone elseâs to stand out (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sinn Féin is signalling a change of policy on immigration. It has heard the electorate and needs to present a new plan and approach, Mary Lou McDonald said at her partyâs annual think-in last week.

Read excerpt
Will Israeli flags be coming down in unionist parts of Northern Ireland now that Israel is insulting and threatening the UK? This weekâs row over British sanctions against illegal settlements could be dismissed as an argument between two governments, rather than between two countries or groups of people. The Conservatives at Westminster are trying to portray it at as such and unionist parties are attempting the same. But that distinction will be difficult to sustain as Israeli government figur
Newton Emerson: Sinn Féin should forget its absurd timescale for a Border poll and focus on the now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andy Burnham has caused Sinn Féin difficulties. The British prime ministerâs remark last week that a Border poll is âoff the tableâ has been seized on by some dissident republicans as proof that the Belfast Agreement cannot deliver a united Ireland and that Sinn Féin has been naive or complicit in a peace process surrender. Sinn Féin has never enjoyed that accusation, naturally, but nor has it ever stinted at dismissing dissidents. The party will be far more concerned by rumblings from
