Obituary: Peace activist and journalist Ciaran McKeown As a civil rights activist, he fought for justice. As a journalist, he documented our worst days. As a peace campaigner, he worked for better ones. As my father-in-law, I saw his endless love. RIP

Peace activist and journalist Ciaran McKeown passes away after illness

The long-time peace activist dedicated his life to the cause

The latest polls show that only 18% of people in NI oppose #MarriageEquality The debate, such as it is, is over. We really shouldn’t have to waste time discussing this any more. #TopTable

Animals keep escaping from Belfast Zoo. It’s almost as if they don’t like being in captivity.

Today, as people in the Republic get a chance to #VoteYes to #repealthe8th , I’m thinking of the near-1,000 women from Northern Ireland forced to travel to Britain every year & the many more taking pills without medical supervision. Their turn next. #ItsTime It’s past time.

Almost three-quarters of people in Northern Ireland believe integrated schools should be the main model for our education system. I hope our Ministers and MLAs are paying attention.

Sorry to see that two Northern Ireland MEPs, Diane Dodds and Jim Nicholson, also voted to protect Victor Orbán’s nasty government. Fortunately, enough of European Parliament voted differently.

Investigations by Police Ombudsman & Policing Board of PSNI policing of #BlackLivesMatter protests found it was “unlawful” and “discriminatory”. Not a single officer who directed operations faced consequences. Not a single fine or prosecution has been rescinded. Accountability?

Mary McAleese is a hero to the LGBTI community in Ireland - for simply loving her son, and supporting his right to be equal under the law. It seems the Vatican can’t stomach that. Truly, awfully sad.
