Inter county travel is to be lifted from May 10. When Northern Ireland returns to normal along with rest of UK, does the fact we have no border not mean the government’s hands here are forced to match those measures? Monitoring compliance for people traversing the border would be impossible

Can anyone tell me why a house called Gortmore or Plantation in Monkstown near Belgrave Square was described by three school students in the 1930s "as one of the most haunted houses in Ireland"? What are the local stories/legends? 1/2 pic.twitter.com/DgvOqblbTW

When was the last time you shook someone’s hand, or kissed them on the cheek to say hello? The pandemic has put a stop to these simple gestures, but should this new way of interacting be permanent?

Stephen Coyne writes:
Railings as far as the eye can see.
The Liberties newest street is a ‘road’ – Margaret Kennedy Road, fronting onto what will be a regenerated St Teresa’s Gardens. 54 new social housing units.
But why not a ‘street’? Why not city centre character?
