Raglan Road and Robbie Brady, they don't make promos like this anymore.

“Walker’s biography stands as both a reassessment and a quiet act of restoration, placing David Trimble where he belongs—among those whose willingness to risk everything helped draw Northern Ireland back from the edge, and whose true measure may one day fully come into view.” 📚

[Gerard Scullion @gscullion978]

Delighted to review @StepWalkTV incredible book on David Trimble. An utterly complex and polarising figure who was both revered and loathed in equal measure.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the current context, we are seeing an actual “short circuit” of #HumanRights. The right to freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, religious freedom, and even the right to life are being restricted in the name of other so-called new rights, with the result that the very framework of human rights is losing its vitality and creating space for force and oppression. This occurs when each right becomes self-referential, and especially when it becomes disconnected from reality, nature, and truth.

A great honour and privilege to accompany the Assistant Secretary General of the Commonwealth to my alma mater @QUBelfast

[QUB School of Law @qubschooloflaw]

The School was delighted to host Commonwealth Assistant Secretary-General Professor Luis Franceschi today. A global leader in governance and human rights, his presence is an honour.

Professor Franceschi shared both his invaluable experiences of founding a Law School in Nairobi, Kenya and also his insights into how AI is changing and will change how organisations like the Commonwealth operate.

Rest in peace, the wonderful and kind Judge Frank Caprio (1936–2025).

[David Smith MP 🌹 @dsnorthnorth]

Gordon Brown once again crystallises the critique of a vitally-important issue at a seminal moment for the country:
“MPs have personal beliefs, but also solemn duties: that’s why they must reject the assisted dying bill this week.” https://t.co/rvsvKLNM9I

Bridie Brown is 87 years old and yet her family have attended court a minimum of 57 times as they seek justice for the brutal murder of their husband/father/grandfather as he locked the gates of his beloved club, @BellaghyGAC Tones.

57 times....let that sink in!
We will 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 give up, we will continue to do all we can and more to support the family of Sean Brown as they battle for truth and justice.

In the words of Bridie Brown herself to the British Secretary of State @hilarybennmp '𝗗𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴!'

Mo náire thú!

[The John and Pat Hume Foundation @humefoundation]

Today we remember John Hume on what would have been his 88th birthday.
It is vital to remember, today of all days, that difference is of the essence of humanity, and therefore respect for difference is the first and deepest principle of real peace.

[Gerard Scullion @gscullion978]

A woman of the most utmost dignity and courage.

[Joe Dwyer @JoeEDwyer]

Hilary Benn and the British Labour Party need to listen to the voice of Bridie and do the right thing…
