Terry Prone: Ranulph Fiennes' entrapment in nursing home is a tragedy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Terry Prone is an author, columnist and one of Ireland's most well known commentators on communications, politics and public life. A confession is appropriate, first of all, on the reverence question. I have none of it for Ranulph Fiennes. None, and here’s why. Exploring made sense in those centuries when it held the promise of new treasures, new cultures, new routes. Absent all of those, it’s just self-sought stress alleviated with awards and public coverage. This is exclusive subscriber conten
Terry Prone: Trump not as unique in presidential awfulness as we might assume (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Terry Prone is an author, columnist and one of Ireland's most well known commentators on communications, politics and public life. This weekend has to be the first time that the Irish Open divided the nation politically. Nobody could compute the numbers on either side. We just know that golf fans, people who see the Doonbeg hotel and resort as providing nothing but benefits for the local community, and fans of everything the Trumps stand for were on one side.

Until her death, Gloria Steinem was working, had a voice, personified the feminist wave that started in the 1970s. That makes 80 years of commitment. At 10, Steinem effectively became the full-time carer for her mother, who suffered such severe mental illness that the caring must have been frightening for the little girl. But choices were few. Her father abandoned them, divorcing her mother before his daugh
Terry Prone: Lucia Berlin’s words leapt from the page in the world’s oldest bookshop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Terry Prone is an author, columnist and one of Ireland's most well known commentators on communications, politics and public life. A few weeks ago weeks ago, a colleague asked if I knew the location of the oldest functioning bookshop in the world. I did not, and admitted it. He told me it’s in one of my favourite cities, Lisbon. Livraria Bertrand has served the book-buying public in the Portuguese capital since 1732 when it was founded by a man named Pedro Faure. A cunning plan on the part of th
