'It is an exquisite book for those who have no idea about this place, our heritage or our culture. Anywhere in the world, you could send them any number of books, but if you were to send them this one, they would certainly come away with a sense of who we are and where we came from. In that, I think it is unrivalled in the English language, and that alone is reason enough to buy the book and to give it.' - Lorcàn O Cinneide, Stiurthoir Ionad an Bhlascaoid/The Blasket Centre, Dún Chaoin, Contae Chiarrraí.
COVER REVEAL: 'The Western Island' turns eighty.

Anne Cadwallader covered the Drumcree events in the late 1990s. She remembers the tension of those days and the work Rosemary Nelson did at that time. On Free State today she talks to Joe and Dion about Rosemary Nelson's murder. She talks too about Lethal Allies her book about collusion and the Glennane Gang. She explains how she first arrived in Northern Ireland and how as a 'well brought up girl' from London, she had one view of what was happening which changed with time and experience. She also tells us how Tina Turner's intervention led to her receiving death threats from loyalists. open.spotify.com/episode/0Nb… Anne's novel Crossing Over is available here - mercierpress.ie/books/crossi…

Is a podcast the 21st Century equivalent of the confessional? It feels a bit that way being interrogated by Messrs Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning. Hope the penance isn't too painful. @MercierBooks open.spotify.com/episode/0Nb…

Sylvia, from Hungary but living on the South Terrace in Cork - managed to unblock at least six drains this morning - using an old brush handle and a bin bag. She told us she does it every few weeks and has been for five years or so.

There's so much nonsense written about the European Convention on Human Rights, which offers a measure of protection to each and every one of us, that it's good to see the record straightened, every now and again. Congrats to The Detail and to Molly Quell. thedetailni.substack.com/?ut…
