Saddened to hear of the senseless shooting of 29 year old journalist Lyra McKee.

The troubles in Ireland do not seem to have gone away?

Thank you Anniebach. I do, as do many of ny friends. I woke up at 4am and couldn't stop thinking about it all.
I pray that Alliance party will fare better in our forthcoming elections.

If you read the papers this week-end- you will have seen that the New IRA clearly state that Brexit and the discussions re border ad GFA have helped them recruit and resulted in the events which led to her accidental death. Their words.
