BRANDON LEWIS’S BOMBSHELL

Date: March 26, 2020 - Northwind

WHEN THE highly regarded Julian Smith was unceremoniously sacked as secretary of state on February 12, one source at the Northern Ireland Office said the reaction there was “WTF?” Smith had just resurrected the Stormont executive and, furthermore, had managed to get all the parties to take seats in that executive. There is now a… Read more »

THAT’S JUST GAS

Date: March 26, 2020 - Fowl Emissions

IT WAS probably unremarkable that this year’s Green Awards judges gave out two gongs to a fossil fuel network provider, Gas Networks Ireland (GNI). Since these awards are largely about putting forward a greener image (Shell’s Corrib Gas project was a previous winner), GNI’s double win is quite apt, a tribute to the tenacity and… Read more »

MICHAEL CREED’S SECURE LINE

Date: March 26, 2020 - Fowl Emissions

WATCHING POLITICAL leaders respond to the coronavirus, it’s impossible not to contrast it to the foot-dragging that passes for climate, er, action. After Leo Varadkar’s Churchillian address on St Patrick’s Day, exhorting us “to come together as a nation… to save many lives”, it was hard not to imagine him speaking similar words in response… Read more »

WHERE NOW FOR EAMON RYAN?

Date: March 26, 2020 - Last Refuge

GREEN PARTY leader Eamon Ryan has always believed enthusiastically that being in politics means being in government. But this time, it seems, his enthusiasm to do the government thing for the country is not shared with his parliamentary party. The Greens turned pale even before the coronavirus crisis hit home properly. Briefings by Department of… Read more »

LUVVIES TO LOSE MINISTER?

Date: March 26, 2020 - Last Refuge

THE ARTS sector must be fearing what’s in store for it in the government formation talks. It looks like the creative types are facing a particularly bleak post-coronavirus landscape, with funding slashed and maybe no minister at Cabinet. Meanwhile, the bizarre plan to move the Arts Council HQ is looking a bit previous. Even before… Read more »

GIVEN THE mainstream media uproar over Cheltenham taking place, it is no surprise that the actual racing action took second place.

Date: March 26, 2020 - High Society

THE TIMING of beauty business entrepreneur Kate Verling’s recent announcement that her Mink salon is investing a whopping €½m “in an expansion programme” turned out to be pretty unfortunate.
