Don't PM (Private Message) me. Twitter (X) has screwed up my 'Chat' portal. I can't see nor reply to PM's.
High-level talks between British and Irish defence officials have begun as Ireland plans to join a major north-Atlantic naval alliance which is designed to counter Russia.

Feb 12 2025 Stephen Nolan did a softly softly (omg, how are you keeping) interview with the Lisneal College principal after the outcry over the £700k+ award from DUP for a football pitch.
So when is he going to have an Irish medium school principal on for the same support?
Garvaghy Road residents had originally notified the Parades Commission before withdrawing their application during a 2am court sitting.
Policing Board advisor Aonghus Kelly says the peaceful protest remained lawful under human rights law, despite PSNI prosecutions.
BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT:
(FROM STORMONT). 9.00pm.
** THE SINN FEIN BILL TO PROVIDE HOLIDAY HUNGER PAYMENTS FOR SCHOOLCHILDREN, HAS BEEN PASSED TONIGHT IN THE STORMONT ASSEMBLY, DESPITE THE OPPOSITION FROM ALL THREE UNIONIST PARTIES. **
A bill by West Belfast Sinn Fein MLA Danny Baker, to establish permanent summer food payments for 90,000 schoolchildren across the North of Ireland who are on Free School Meals, has been passed tonight in the Stormont Assembly, (at it's Final Stage).
All three Unionist Parties opposed the bill, but tonight the Bill was carried by 49 votes in favour to 24 votes against.
Alliance, SDLP & Gerry Carroll from PBP, all supported the Sinn Fein motion. Independent Unionist Claire Sugden also supported Danny Baker's motion.
Danny Baker has been personally working on preparing his Holiday Hunger Bill for the past 4 years. His personal commitment to the bill was praised by many MLA's from across different Parties within the Assembly tonight.
The Sinn Fein Bill will ensure that children in poverty here from all backgrounds, including Nationalist & Unionist, will receive financial payments for food during the summer months.
A succession of Unionist MLA's including the DUP Education Minister Paul Givan and the UUP Leader Jon Burrows, spoke against the legislation.

I'm old enough to remember that the girls terrorised by unionists at Holy Cross, and that generation, were voters a few years later.
Dodds paid the price, the @duponline Bunker Burrows @uuponline and Sunny Jim @TUVonline targeting young Gaeilgeoir will be no different...
40 years ago, Ulster Resistance was established with the involvement & public support of senior DUP figures.
Today, I spoke at the launch of a report examining Ulster Resistance’s establishment, the weapons it acquired & the devastating consequences that followed.
Those families whose loved ones were murdered with weapons imported by Ulster Resistance are still waiting for answers. They deserve enormous credit for refusing to give up.
Between 1988 & 1994, at least 98 people were murdered using Ulster Resistance weapons, including in sectarian loyalist attacks on Catholic & nationalist communities.
Will the DUP leader Gavin Robinson help these families get answers about the DUP’s involvement in Ulster Resistance & the imported weapons?
That means answering serious questions about the roles of senior DUP figures at the time, including Ian Paisley, Peter Robinson, Sammy Wilson & Jim Allister, among others.

@an_brasan Not one of you cowardly far-right cunts were on the #GarvaghyRoad to help defend the residents from the Orangemen, though. Oh, that’s right…they’re your friends!
@TheMandyGall Getting your voice back now that the whole #GarvaghyRoad thing has settled down a bit? Were you and your fellow “patriots” raging you couldn’t march with your Loyalist chums?😐
@MountieG@SirFrankyonsea@StephenNolan The PIRA, which everyone focuses on, was formed in 1969. Prior to that, the IRA was a mere blip on the Brits radar.
