The First Rough Draft

The Washington Post publisher Philip Graham is credited with calling journalism "the first rough draft of history". But when is a draft, a draft? Earlier today a Stormont source told me that Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness had drafted a letter to the other Stormont parties inviting them to nominate their candidates for the future Justice department. But then another source insisted...

Our Next First Minister

During Monday's "Stormont Live" I asked Alasdair McDonnell if it really mattered who won the SDLP leadership contest as the party would inevitably face a squeeze at the next Assembly elections, given that Sinn Fein would tell nationalists it had a realistic chance of becoming the biggest Stormont party. Consequently Sinn Fein would have the right to nominate Martin McGuinness as First Minister,...

Major Row Between Westminster and Holyrood

British-Irish council representatives of Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey all voted for the permanent secretariat of the council to be based in Edinburgh. Guess who vetoed the move? You're right, the Welsh Secretary Peter Hain ( pictured above ), who was representing the UK, at a meeting of the BIC on Friday in Jersey. Listen to this for an excuse...

The Fall of the House of Paisley - by David Gordon

David Gordon played his own part in ‘The Fall of the House of Paisley’ by providing the print media’s most comprehensive coverage of the political dynasty’s links to property magnate Seymour Sweeney, and reporting other scandals which rocked the DUP during 2007 and 2008. Indeed the journalist brought to popular attention a number of the important scoops which underpin his new...

The fall of the house of Paisley

A new book charting the downfall of Ian Paisley and his son retells one of the most remarkable political events in Northern Ireland of recent years Unionist hardliner Jim Allister likes to compare himself to a latter-day David-the-giant-slayer. At the annual conference of his Traditional Unionist Voice party in Belfast last weekend Allister relished the prospect of taking on a political Goliath that...

McGuinness: if Policing and Justice slips past Christmas we are in deep trouble…

Martin McGuinness has thrown down the gauntlet for Peter Robinson on the return of policing and justice powers. The deputy first minister said: “What we have to do is lead. It is not easy leading. Leadership is a lonely post. We need to confront those people who would wish to hold us back.” The deputy First Minster went on to say: “What is absolutely an imperative is to have an agreement...

Parallel Realities

There was a sense of unreality during much of today's marathon debate on the Justice Bill. We had plenty of discussion of SDLP and Ulster Unionist objections to the Sinn Fein DUP deal on a future Justice department. We had the SDLP suggesting December 7th as the date for the transfer of powers. But there seemed little or no acknowledgment of the general belief that the devolution of justice is balanced...

Assessing Community Confidence?

There shouldn’t be a problem with this and it’s an example of where Democracy Live should be going.

“Sinn Féin is committed to ending dual-mandates within our party..”

Sinn Féin councillor Conor Maskey has criticised the DUP MEP Diane Dodds for double-jobbing - she’s still a councillor apparently - “Sinn Féin is committed to ending dual-mandates within our party..”. Meanwhile the party has selected Northern Ireland Executive Junior Minister, Gerry Kelly, MLA, as their candidate for north Belfast in the next general election. Do they...

Three from Arja Kajermo

After a recent morbid exchange on an issue of blame , I was reminded of the above strip, my favourite of many by Dublin’s leading Finnish cartoonist, Arja Kajermo . (Click image to enlarge.) Regarding God and his mam in the last panel, as Iraqi Mojo will explain, America is God now. In the hunt through back issues of In Dublin magazine for the first strip, I also found this one, on terrorists...
