Irish Border Poll

@BrianKingston Nobody comes across the motorway to watch international games at Windsor. Persuading non-unionists that NI is their team and not ROI is a hell of a hard job. The good news is that the most effective move is a simple one: An inclusive flag and anthem. But even that’s too much.

A remarkable result which, taken with the Dublin result, tells us something. The Irish public do not (yet) have confidence that a credible alternative govt. option exists.

The significance of @DamoDempsey performing his iconic ‘Colony’ live in Béal Feirste under a sign that reads ‘Empire’ cannot be overstated. Incredible stuff 👏🏼🇮🇪

☘️ Ex-St Malachy’s pupil Martin O’Neill leads Celtic to victory again! What a job he has done 👏

A genius of a coach. Belter of a human ❤️

Last week, we said goodbye to our beautiful Nisha. She came to us as a rescue, after being found as a stray, and became a deeply loved part of our family, and part of the music too, appearing quietly in so many of the cottage videos. Thank you to everyone who noticed her, asked about her, and loved her from afar. The music in the video is called “Nisha”, it's a melody we used to sing it to her at home during Covid lockdown, and I later recorded it on my album Solace. She was deeply loved. We miss her so much

Delighted to speak at the launch of The Irish Language Attitudes Survey 2025. Irish has shaped our sense of place, with many place names deriving from the original Irish. Renewed interest in the language transcends divisions & reflects growing confidence in our shared culture.

A well deserved tribute.

Cormac references @ray_basssett who described Taoiseach Martin + FF as hostile to Irish Unity. Are they? Read both pieces decide for yourself + join the debate. See Ray’s piece at irishborderpoll.com @IrelandsFuture @Toibin1 @MarkHennessy @ChrisHazzardSF @PolDeBuitleir

Please share. A man passed away on Croagh Patrick, the holy mountain on Tuesday 28th April (R.I.P) 🙏🕊🕯 His brother in England would like to have contact with the people who came to his assistance and stayed with him until the rescue helicopter arrived 🙏

In this article @EmmaCDeSouza sets out what Northern Ireland would bring to the table economically in the event of unification. Also, I think the economy in the North would grow faster within a New Ireland and would catch up over time :- the euro (cheaper mortgages and business loans), with the IDA and low corporate tax (more investment and jobs), with higher public sector pay and pensions (more money in people's pockets and in the shops etc) thejournal.ie/readme/united-…

“Israel is the author of its own bad name” ~Justine McCarthy The Irish Times *the anti semitism label carries as much weight as the colony’s regard for intern’l humanitarian law or US adherence to Intern’l Criminal Court processes ☕️

@cormacmoore Cormac forgot this

"Huge congratulations to past pupil, Martin O Neill on winning his 4th Scottish League title with Celtic. Once a College Boy, Always a College Boy!” St Columb's College, Derry.

@cormacmoore in today’s Irish News disagrees with criticism of the Taoiseach by @ray_basssett below, who labels him a Partitionist + hostile to Irish Unity Read both articles + give us your view? @IrelandsFuture @molloy1916 @bjacollins @Reunify32 irishborderpoll.com/2026/04/02/the…

“You can’t sell a united Ireland by saying everything stays the same.” @columeastwood argues voters won’t back constitutional change if Stormont continues as it is. Do you agree? #Stormont #Ukpolitics #ColumEastwood @dmcbfs @timcairns

Bob Newland interviewed by Declan Kearney tonight in Áras Uí Chonghaile. Tomorrow, 1pm, Museum of Free Derry.

Such an honour to chair a meeting with Bob Newlands tonight in the London Irish Centre. At the age of 21 he was recruited into the anti-apartheid struggle as one of the ANC’s “London Recruits”. It’s a truly inspiring story. Don’t miss him in Belfast tomorrow & Derry on Friday…
