Former Taoiseach John Bruton reviews the new book by Michael Heney, and adds a few points of his own.

Hilarious take!

Good long piece. Ireland getting it right; US and UK getting it wrong.

Fascinating inyterview with Dr Herrema, who has just died three days after his 99th birthday.

More new Irish books.

New Irish books, part 1

Excellent piece on infrastructure needs in Northern Ireland, especially west of the Bann.

Glorious.

Cor. This list was published 8 years ago, but gives the book-of-my-PhD-thesis a rave review. So it must be a very good list.

Lovely piece.

@ConBrunstrom's take.

@AnnaCafolla writes for the @NewStatesman. I don't think her history has been forgotten in Ireland!

Irish Fascist architecture.

Interesting analysis of the relationship with Varadkar.

The truth about asylum seekers in Ireland.

The brutal linkage, back in 1962: “If the UK joins the EEC, Ireland will too. If the UK stays out, so will Ireland.”

Good summary from @JP_biz.

Indeed. Rebuttal of the ridiculous @BenHabib6.

Harsh but fair.

Lovely.

Ireland is wonderful.

About the Drummully Polyp.

Honest admission of error from@OliverNorgrove. At least I called this one at the time.

This is a great profile of @BorderIrish - well worth a look.

1100 years of serving drinks in Athlone!

If Heaney is fashionable, the times are good; if Yeats, watch out!

Great piece about a great biography of a great writer.

More excellent stuff from @TConnellyRTE.

Michael Gallagher argues that votes should be counted twice, covering both possible seat allocations. I agree.

@TonyConnellyRTE has the latest - a better summary than you will read in most British papers.
