In considering the recent revelations about Mark Haddock’s UVF career at tax payer’s expense, as a killer informant for the RUC, let us not forget Ian Paisley. Last week the Historical Enquiries Team of the PSNI was forced to apologise to Eugene Reavey for the RUC whispering campaign that tried to justify the sectarian shooting of Reavey’s three brothers in January 1976 in Whitecross, south Armagh. 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.

While the idea of comparing one gross act of terrorism to another gross act of terrorism seems as odious a comparison as any, there is nevertheless an appropriate comparison to be drawn where one gross act of terrorism is a direct precursor to the second. And when two acts of terrorism are the defining moments of the century in terms of Western foreign policy, comparison becomes an urgent necessity. read full story / add a comment
