    Noel Doran: The truth about immigration in Northern Ireland (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    WE are well used to claims from a variety of sources - some fringe figures and others who are actually elected representatives - that a rising tide of immigration is changing our society beyond recognition. It is this kind of thinking, together with suggestions that newcomers are being unfairly handed houses and a range of benefits, which directly contributed to the serious race violence witnessed in loyalist parts of Belfast and other places, including Ballymena, for the last three summers in a

    Noel Doran: Andy Burnham should learn from Tony Blair about Ireland (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    WE did not have to wait for long for Andy Burnham to confirm that he is the latest in a long line of UK prime ministers who often struggle to speak coherently and confidently about Irish issues. Tony Blair had many other failings but, of all the holders of the post in the last 50 years, he was probably the only one who entered office with a clear understanding of Irish history and a related determination to encourage the search for progress. Burnham, despite his Liverpool/Irish family connection

    Noel Doran: How the horrors of 9/11 paved the way for decommissioning (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    THE world changed forever through the 9/11 catastrophes in the United States, 25 years ago this Friday, with the full scale of the consequences still unfolding internationally and impossible to finally calculate. While almost 3,000 people died almost immediately in the devastation after four airliners were hijacked by the extremist Muslim group al-Qaeda, detailed academic studies suggest that the number of fatalities recorded during the subsequent conflicts as part of what the US administration

    Noel Doran: Welcome to Belfast’s Ormeau Road, the coffee capital of Ireland (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    CONSIDERABLE attention is rightly being paid to the deterioration of high streets across Ireland and the UK, with notable recent interventions from Andy Burnham and RTÉ’s Prime Time programme. Burnham said earlier this month that main thoroughfares were the “beating heart” of local communities, but accepted they had become unrecognisable after decades of decline, and announced new powers for district councils in Britain which are intended to address the problem. It remains to be seen how

    Noel Doran: Let’s celebrate success – even if some unionists still don’t feel ready (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    KOBE McDonald has become arguably Ireland’s most celebrated citizen, even though he is still only 18 and it seems likely that he will be a resident of Australia for at least the next three years and possibly longer. His rise to sporting stardom has been verging on the astonishing, given that he left school just a matter of weeks ago and then found himself at the heart of Mayo’s epic GAA All-Ireland triumph for the first time in 75 years. McDonald, having made his championship debut in April,
