Micheal Martin could play a role in Irish unity
A Micheal Martin speech at Bodenstown or in the Dail or at Arbour Hill would not be complete without an attack on Sinn Fein. I suppose we should take some comfort from this, writes Gerry Adams.

Sir Bob and the f***ing martyrs
Some time back there was a fashionable notion called the Tipping Point.
In the old days we’d have called it the straw that broke the camel’s

The Rising tide of revisionism
There's a lot of balderdash talked in the last couple of weeks about the Easter Rising being 'undemocratic'. So it was as people today view democracy. However that doesn't mean the existing government in Ireland was democratic. It wasn't.

It’s our party and we’ll cry if we want to
The two biggest right-wing parties have wasted weeks staging meaningless

Fein. The State has never witnessed such a biased agenda across all
media organisations against a political party.

Elements of the conservative media have been busy trying to spin the

Right to reject nonsense of a ‘shared history’
The two governments, but particularly the Irish government, hoped that
