Eight hundred years of oppression, the Famine, the Black and Tans, Bobby Sands, yadda-yadda-yadda. I know that some handful of headbangers are apoplectic about the fact that the Republic of Ireland is welcoming the Queen of England to our country, and I also know that there are people who are fairly a-quiver with excitement at the prospect. Most people, as far as I can make out, are pretty blasé about it all - history is a fine thing, certainly, but it don’t boil no potatoes.   It’ll be interesting to hear what the Queen has to say when she visits Croke Park, for sure, and there’s no doubting the historic...

His title was “Watching Prime Ministers”, which he interpreted as an analysis of how the functions of the Prime Minister have evolved since the war. It was largely distilled from his book on the subject — The Prime Minister: The Office And Its Holders Since 1945: The Job and Its Holders Since 1945 and was a classic Hennessy performance. That is to say it was conversational, informal, gossipy, thought-provoking, irreverent and informative. It was also leavened with the odd bit of ham acting: one was left thinking that somewhere on his CV there must be a spot of amateur dramatics. He’s an excellent...

The matter was also highlighted many times on the Diary. Through all that time the answers have been 'no, we have no money'. And the wall just fell into continuous further dereliction. Today, the Diary understands, a member of KCA was asked if anything needed to be done in Kilcullen prior to the Queen's visit to Kildare next Thursday. He replied that it would be good to have the wall repaired. Before he went home this afternoon, there was a Council crew working on the project. Thank you,......

It also looks at the nature of loyalism and ‘constitutional’ nationalism in the North. Given the significance of the Hillsborough Agreement [Anglo-Irish Agreement] it is unsurprising that many formations in Ireland would seek to analyse it from their differing perspectives.
