Northern Ireland's new government
If there is ever a Nobel Prize awarded for political miracle-working, George Mitchell has a strong case for being its first recipient. Last week the former US Senator, in his role as chairman of the "review" phase of the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, concluded another agreement between Sinn Fein and the Ulster Unionists that has apparently saved the peace process, yet again, from imminent collapse. Northern Ireland now has its first government since direct rule from London was imposed more than 25 years ago. For the moment, anyway.

Republican Alphabet Soup
So, you know what the IRA is. How about the CIRA? ORM? INLA? IPLO? Over the last 30 years there have been quite a number of republican paramilitary groups active in Northern Ireland, not to mention the various other "flags of convenience" that these groups have sometimes used. The common ancestor of all these groups is the IRA of the late 1960s; numerous splits and feuds since then have given birth to these different groups, some of which are still around and some of which are not.

Dublin South-Central By-Election Results
The Labour Party has held onto its seat in the Dublin South-Central by-election, but the result was not exactly a ringing endorsement of its candidate. Activists from all parties had feared that turnout for the by-election, necessitated by the death of TD Pat Upton, might only be around 35%. In the actual event it turned out to be even worse, with only 28.1% of eligible voters casting a ballot, the lowest voter turnout in the history of the state. Various explanations were put forward by analysts: people are disgusted with politics in general because of recent well-publicized probes of high-level political corruption, there is often a lack of interest in by-elections to begin with, and there were two European-level soccer matches being televised on voting night that would have kept people at home.

Cemetery of Birth: Glasnevin's Republican Heroes
Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin holds some of the most wellknown remains in Irish history, as well as its unsung paupers. Reading the biographies of just a few of the luminaries buried there, however, sheds light on the birth of the Republic of Ireland, and on the Irish national character, a study in incongruities and contrasts.
