It's legalised internment - but welcome across Ireland

Article Abstract:

Measures to tackle terrorism are being introduced in ireland and Norther Ireland, and they are welcomed although they reverse the usual assumption of innocence unless guilt is proven. The laws appear to be similar to legalized internment. Different groups tend to see the laws as being used against other organizations rather than themselves. The bombing in Omagh, Northern Ireland, has led to closer cooperation between Ireland and Northern Ireland, and those groups purusing violence have become more isolated.

One woman shows southerners they have new friends in the north

Article Abstract:

The election of Mary McAleese as Irish President is extremely significant, especially as she is the first British citizen to hold this position. Her election will have a marked impact on relations between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic and between the Irish Republic and the UK. There is a strong belief in the Irish Republic that the conflict in Northern Ireland will soon come to an end, and this seems to have boosted sympathy for nationalists in Northern Ireland.

It's Spring-time in Ireland

Article Abstract:

People in the Republic of Ireland, the youngest population in Europe, are less influenced by the major political parties and the Roman Catholic church in 1992. Fianna Fail and Fine Gael had their worst election results for years in the Nov 1992 election. The Labour Party, which promised change and reforms, doubled its seats. The Progresssive Democrats also gained much support, showing the need for change. A modern, cosmopolitan spirit prevails in many parts of Ireland.
