All three of Fine Gael’s female politicians on Dublin City Council are stepping down at next summer’s local elections, the Herald has learned. Councillors Clare Byrne, Edie Wynne and Mary O’Shea say the workload has lumped too much pressure on their family lives and careers. The women, who are all mothers, have decided to leave the council in what is a significant blow to party headquarters.

In his new book Alternative Ulsters BBC NI broadcaster Mark Carruthers interviews a range of public figures and asks them to reflect on their identity.
GAA pundit and Derry footballing legend Joe Brolly is quoted as saying:
“I’m happy to think of myself as Northern Irish”
While journalist and campaigner Eamonn McCann says he takes a slightly perverse pleasure in signing a hotel register
‘Northern Irish’.
Hmm.
