A collection of interviews with diverse stakeholders, Laying it on the Line: Opinions on the Border gives voice to a wide range of views on the line across Ireland that everyone forgot. Established a century ago, it has re-emerged as central to relations, turning into not just the border between the Republic of Ireland and the UK, but between the EU and the UK.In this book we hear from those living in border communities, where social and economic life has flourished since the Good Friday Agreement. With Brexit, their lives and livelihoods risk serious damage. Interviewees include former Taoiseach John Bruton, historian Diarmuid Ferriter, MEP Martina Anderson, Derry footballer and barrister Joe Brolly, former RUC officers and British soldiers, and a wide range of other politicians, journalists, experts and people affected in Northern Ireland. Economically and politically, we are entering uncharted waters where dangerous winds blow.
Whose Past is it Anyway?
The Ulster Covenant, the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme

Tillfälligt slut
Ireland is on the cusp of what has become known as the ‘Decade of Centenaries’. In this unique book, we gain an insight into three of these centenaries – the signing of the Ulster Covenant, the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme – from across the spectrum of political allegiances and perspectives. Including interviews with An Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Fr Brian D’Arcy, Niall O’Dowd and Roddy Doyle amongst many others, this collection of discussions touches upon the ethereal nature of our history, and the constantly shifting sands upon which we build our shared past. But what emerges as a consistent theme throughout these conversations is the degree of understanding that can be offered for our future in reflecting on how these events continue to shape our reality.
Tales Out of School
St Colum’s College Derry in the 1950's

Tillfälligt slut
Tales out of School is a light-hearted and nostalgic look in to life in one of the country’s most important secondary schools. St Columb’s College has produced Nobel laureates, bishops, and award-winning artists, but what was life like for these men as boys? What did they really think about the teachers, pupils, punishments, sport, or sex? 2010 marks fifty years since Jude Collins completed his education at ‘The College’, and to commemorate, he decided to visit some of the boys from his class, and record their personal memories of their informative years. The result is Tales out of School, which features over twenty-five interviews with the pupils of Collins’s year, a number of teachers, and the matron who later became immortalised in Seamus Heaney’s ‘Mid-Term Break’. Illustrated with now-and-then photographs and miscellaneous images from the era, this book is sure to pique the interest of the thousands who have passed through the doors of St Columb’s College, Derry.
