UPDATE:
First Minister Arlene Foster has released the following statement…
“I am disappointed that Martin McGuinness has chosen to take the position he has today. His actions have meant that, at precisely the time we need our Government to be active, we will have no government and no way to resolve the RHI problems.”
“It is clear that Sinn Féin’s actions are not principled, they are political.”
“Let me make it clear the DUP will always defend unionism and stand up for what is best for Northern Ireland and it appears from the Deputy First Minister’s resignation letter that is what annoys Sinn Féin the most.”

Extremely rare Glenroe action figure, 1988. Coveted by adults who enjoyed the show’s incident-free mix of craggy faces, wet farms and flammable jumpers, these were also popular with the nation’s children, for whom the show had become well-loved as a natural boundary against Sunday bedtime.
Tragically, due to a “regrettable production fault” at RTE Merchandising, the figures were partly made from dry fuels and, following many years’ worth of horrific fires/legal actions, few Mileys are to be found today. It is also thought that none of Miley’s Extra-Marital-Sex Hay Bale Playsets have survived.

Six weeks ago, inspired by a freezing night, Mick posted a video on Facebook appealing to people to support the homeless campaign. It was picked up across multiple news and media outlets, and since then the Home Sweet Home campaign came to prominence.
We’re delighted to present the song that was inspired by that original video. Filmed over the course of a day with the Home Sweet Home supporters, it’s our way of providing support to the objectives of the movement in the best way we can as artists.
