The shootings happened the day before the Kingsmill massacre of 10 Protestant civilians on January 5 1976, in the same general area. Three members of the O’Dowd family were also shot dead by the UVF the previous day. The Reavey and O’Dowd killings happened within 30 minutes of each other. read full story / add a comment

Darfur, a province in western Sudan, has in recent times been host to one of the most significant humanitarian debacles of the last few years. It has prompted widespread calls for an ethical investment policy which would prevent taxpayer’s money from contributing to what the US refers to as “a policy of genocide” in the region. In December, I spoke to Senator David Norris, one of the most vocal Irish political figures on this issue. read full story / add a comment

In a formal statement to an Irish Times journalist a spokesperson for the Governemnt said yesterday that there are ‘no plans at the moment’ to include members of the Pagan community to the first structured talks between the State and various faith groups.
