Eire Nua Sean O Lubaigh The blame game continues on in the Belfast battlegrounds as to who is at fault in the recent flair up of Loyalists attacks. The ugly fact remains that nationalist people are being brutalized and terrorized as the loyalists lay siege and try to cut off isolated areas such as in the Short Strand community. We all hear the same old tired patronizing lines from the politicians of all ilk that "there needs to be an end to the violence"; "WE must restore calm"; "WE must build trust", what good are words under a petrol bomb barrage and blast bomb attack?! The reality is on the ground, not in Stormont, Leinster House, Westminster or Washington. Comments: Google It! 8:13:02 AM

Maskey attends Presbyterian General Assembly Sinn Féin's Alex Maskey carried out his first two official engagements this week. When he attended the opening of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church on Monday night, 10 June, he was the first Sinn Féin representative to attend the body. Then on Tuesday night, 11 June, he was present at a Palestinian Cultural night in An Cultúrlann MacAdaim Ó Fiaich on the Falls Road. Comments: Google It! 8:10:06 AM

McCrea benefits from Sinn FÈin commitment to equality In stark contrast to the refusal of unionist councillors in Belfast to elect a deputy mayor in protest at the election of Sinn Féin's Alex Maskey, unionist councillors elsewhere have agreed power-sharing deals. Comments: Google It! 8:08:55 AM
