As I write this, 200 world leaders are gathered in Madrid for COP25, the UN’s annual meeting on climate change. If you haven’t heard of COP (Conference of the Parties) you might have heard of the Kyoto Protocol which came out of COP3 in 1997. Or The Paris Agreement, the result of the 21st meeting, COP21, held in Paris in 2015.

Today in Ireland there is an undercurrent growing which is tearing away at the moral fibre of Irish society. It is causing division. It is creating an atmosphere of hate, a separation of people into 'us and them', and creating intolerance for minority communities and their cultural traditions.

It is that time of year again. The Christmas season is fast approaching and with only 40 days left before the big day, the last few weeks are usually spent dashing around shops, making lists (and checking them twice), making a mess wrapping gifts, buying the most ridiculous Christmas jumpers and, most importantly, enjoying some well-deserved time off.

Going to the pictures; going to the flicks; going to the movies; whatever your preferred terminology, a trip to the cinema is arguably the world's most beloved leisure activity ever since the first commercial screening of a film took place in Paris in December 28 1895. In fact, according to UNIC, Ireland is the highest cinema going nation in Europe for the past four years. And despite technological advances which have enabled us to watch films on our laptops and our phones, there is no movie watching experience that can claim to be superior in engaging the brain, stirring our emotions, and feeding our souls, like sitting in a theatre in front of the big screen.

Many Irish people have been wowed by the stylish designs of Portuguese fashion brand Lanidor on holidays and have been stunned by the quality and colours — but are you aware that in Ireland, the brand is available exclusively in Galway.

After an initial welcome to New York, where Mellows was feted as a hero of the Rising, it all went sour. Despite warnings from the influential Clan na Gael to tone his rhetoric down, Mellows continued his war against Britain. He was kicked out of Clan na Gael by its leaders, the veteran Fenian John Devoy, and the ambitious Judge Cohalan, when he publicly campaigned against Irish Americans joining the army, to fight with Britain and her allies on the battlefields of France at the climax of World War I.
