Stephanie Chase: Why are the voices of the ceasefire generation not being heard in Irish unity debate? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have to commend Andy Burnham for his comment last week that a border poll was âoff the tableâ. The prime ministerâs poor choice of words have resulted in a wealth of conversation about the question of Irish unity, from both sides of the debate. Those who completely dismiss the idea have had to spill more ink over it, thanks to Burnham providing such a succinct soundbite. Secretary of State Chris Bryant later cleaned up after Andy, saying that the PM was âfully committed to every part o
Stephanie Chase: The Belfast Iâve come back to is not the one I left behind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If youâd asked me five years ago if I would ever be back living in Belfast again, I probably would have told you it was unlikely. Iâm someone who left as soon as I could. At 18, I joined the Irish diaspora in London, not planning to ever come back home permanently. When I tired of London, I ended up in Liverpool and then Toronto before deciding to return to Belfast for âa few months or soâ after more than 15 years away. This was only because I wanted some time to think about my next move
Kneecap Féile review: thereâs nothing quite like seeing Kneecap on home turf (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a week in which Irish culture and language has taken over Belfast, it was only fitting for rap trio Kneecap to come home to Falls Park to play a special charity concert. The success of the Fleadh might be a revelation to most of the city, but in west Belfast Féile an Phobail has been flying the flag for Irish language and culture for decades. Mo Chara, Móglaà Bap, and DJ Próvaà have done more than their fair share to make Irish not only cool but accessible, and here they were giving back
Stephanie Chase: Itâs time for Belfast to step up and show off its new face for the Fleadh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WALKING through the centre of Belfast on a normal afternoon, I try to imagine what it will be like next week when around 800,000 visitors descend upon the city for the Fleadh. The streets will be significantly more crowded, traffic will probably be slower, and our public transport system will most likely be stretched to its limit. The event is a huge undertaking for our small city. We are hosting the biggest celebration of Irish music and culture in the world and itâs a true sign of not only h
Stephanie Chase: From Kneecap to the Fleadh, Irish culture is doing what politics canât (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE DUP have had a difficult few weeks. The party who would like to position themselves as the voice of morality are now in turmoil over the shocking failings of one of their own. Former leader Jeffrey Donaldson has swapped his knighthood for a prisoner number and questions are understandably being asked of the party. The Donaldson scandal has turned a cloud which forever seems to follow the DUP into a massive lightning bolt, illuminating any hypocrisies, and it couldnât have come at a worse t
