Twenty-five years after the Good Friday Agreement brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, this episode sees Ivan Vejvoda engage in an enlightening conversation with Queen's University Belfast's Katy Hayward as they examine the fragile stability and uncertain future status of the region in the wake of Brexit's destabilizing impact. Hayward provides insight into Northern Ireland's changing demographics, the sporadic functioning of the power-sharing government, declining trust between communities, the rise of hardline parties over moderates, the passionate commitment yet precarious position of civil society groups devoted to reconciliation and offering support to the vulnerable - as well as the critical need to restore robust democratic institutions and processes. While cautious about predicting violence, Hayward makes a compelling case that the current political vacuum threatens hard-won progress as the region's unresolved tensions continue to simmer.2023/24 Europe's Futures Fellow Katy Hayward is a distinguished Professor of Political Sociology at Queen's University Belfast, where she also directs the Centre for International Borders Research.

Surreal, silly vibrations from the flatlining, radio desert somewhere near the Irish Border. First picked up by lorry drivers trying to find a signal in the flatlining radio desert of the Irish border, Parish Is Burning is a wild, silly and surreal sketch show. A genuine metaphysical anomaly, a mysterious broadcast from an alternative universe (near Omagh) with that uniquely warped, unpredictable, big-hearted, Northern Irish whiff and featuring new comedy talent from all over Ireland. In this pilot episode, visit Mo Farragh's Ostrich Farm, eavesdrop on the parish helpline, find out if Sargent Gerry Rafferty can crack the case of the man beaten to death with his own kettle, experience Rural Fury at the Parish youth club and catch up on Belfast soap opera Van Dad. Parish Is Burning is created by Michael McCullagh and Phil Taggart, and stars Michael Fry, Ciara Knight, Michael Stranney, Hannah Mamalis, Mary Flanigan and Peter McGann. Producer: Keith Martin Executive Producer: Victoria Lloyd A Fabel production for BBC Radio 4

In his conversation with Caroline Lusin, Michael Hughes reads from his novel Country (2018) and discusses his journey from actor to writer; the ludic element in his writing; his relationship to Northern Ireland and its authors; the link between the intangible Irish border and mime in his short story "Marcel Marceau"; as well as the Illiadic structure, lingo, distinct narrative voice, and the representation of power structures and violence in his novel Country.

In our final episode of Season One of /Queer, we chat with activist Jim Doherty about a transforming political and queer climate in the city of Derry in Northern Ireland. Exploring Derry's history and position in the spotlight of Irish politics, we discuss the establishing of Pride parades in Ireland, the avoidance of commercialism of these sacred events and what Derry represents for the LGBTQ+ communities of both Ireland and Europe.Thank you to all of you who continue to listen and support us.

THE IRISH BORDER QUESTION: CAN THE UNION SURVIVE? A new #BattleFest recording from the Battle of Ideas festival 2021: https://www.battleofideas.org.uk/session/the-irish-border-question-can-the-union-survive/  Is it time for Unionists to accept a border poll as a democratic resolution and prepare their best arguments to save the Union? How should British citizens view the threat to the Union? If Lord Frost eventually tears up the Protocol, will that save the Union and resolve the border tensions? Or has the unravelling of the border become a fait accompli, based on the instability inherent in partition?

The tag ‘Bandit Country' was long used for what was once described as lawless ‘South Armagh'. But times have changed and now the towns situated along the border region of Ireland want to put the dark days of the past behind them and be recognised as thriving modern communities. So how do we move forward while recognising the potentially incendiary political and constitutional proposals to police regions that straddle Garda Siochana and PSNI territories. Belfast Telegraph crime correspondent Allison Morris chats with Nicola Tallant about the possible pitfalls and discusses policing in South Armagh, the crime gangs who are gaining from politics and the controversy of cross border ‘hot pursuit'.

Contributor: Dr Margaret O'Callaghan Talk Title: Acts of partition: from the Government of Ireland Act 1920 to the Boundary Commission, 1925. Talk Synopsis: This talk describes Partition as ‘an instrument of policy that marked the [UK] government's failure in the wider problem of governing Ireland'. It suggests that the Government of Ireland Act was ‘a landmark in the genealogy of partitions' and sets out its immediate background and effects. And it argues that the partition of Ireland ‘was not an act, but a process' that ‘happened in stages'. It details the sectarian tensions and violence of this period, the Treaty negotiations of 1921 and James Craig's role as Prime Minister, including his interactions with politicians in London and Dublin. It also identifies key questions about what happened and suggests that whilst the ‘Boundary Commission would end the partition process' in 1925, James Craig spent much of his time until then ‘consumed' with ‘security and the campaign to resist' the effect which the Commission might have in placing ‘his whole entity in jeopardy'.

The Irish border—running along five hundred kilometres of rural land—is a paradox. Both visible and invisible, it’s vital to peace in Ireland.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thatsall Twitter: https://twitter.com/Semmackey After the United Kingdom Brexited and left the European Union the Irish and Northern Irish border have come under fresh scrutiny. Over the last weekend, we saw the worst riots in Northern Ireland in years, spurring fears of a renewed conflict. Here’s what’s happening.

The British government said Saturday local time that it does not expect any disruptions to its orders for coronavirus vaccines after the European Union emphasized it would not trigger an emergency provision of the Brexit deal as part of its strategy to monitor export of doses produced in the EU.Cabinet Minister Michael Gove said the government expects the vaccines to be supplied as planned after the EU addressed the "mistake" in its proposal to tighten export rules for COVID-19 vaccines produced in the 27 member nations.The U.K. government complained late Friday that the bloc had invoked an emergency clause in its divorce deal with Britain to introduce controls on exports from EU member Ireland into Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K.After a call between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU's executive commission, the EU said it was not invoking the article of the Brexit agreement allowing either side to override parts of the deal.Gove said Johnson was "very clear" in the call to stress that the U.K. has contractual arrangements with pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca and Pfizer."President von der Leyen was clear that she understood exactly the U.K. government's position, so we expect that those contracts will be honored, we expect that vaccines will continue to be supplied," he added.While the U.K. has made progress in its campaign to vaccinate the population against the coronavirus, the EU has faced complaints and criticism for its slow start.Concerns over the pace of the rollout across the EU's 27 member nations grew over the last week after British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca said it could not supply EU members with as many doses as originally anticipated because of production capacity limits.AstraZeneca Chief Executive Pascal Soriot has said that vaccine delivery figures in the contract with the EU were targets, not firm commitments, and the company was unable to meet them because plants in Europe had lower than expected yields from the biological process used to produce the vaccine.However, the European Commission suspected that doses meant for Europe might have been diverted from an AstraZeneca plant on the continent to the U.K., where two other company sites are located. The EU also wants doses at two sites in Britain to be made available to European citizens.That was the backdrop to the EU's decision to trigger the Northern Ireland provision on Friday, when EU regulators authorized the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine for use in the EU. As part of the Brexit agreement, goods are supposed to flow freely between the EU and Northern Ireland under special arrangements for the U.K. region designed to protect the peace process on the island of Ireland.Though it reversed course on that, the EU is pushing ahead with a plan to oversee vaccines manufactured in its member states, a move that could hinder the U.K.'s access to supplies, particularly to the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine made in Belgium.Germany's health minister called Saturday for the European Union to get its "fair share" of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.In an interview with German weekly newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, Health Minister Jens Spahn said he wanted transparency from the drugmaker. ,"It's not about Europe first, but about Europe's fair share," Spahn was quoted as saying.According to the newspaper, Spahn said he wanted to be sure that all of AstraZeneca's customers were "affected in the same way" by the production problems the company blamed for the reduction in shipments over the coming months.The European Union expressed anger this week at AstraZeneca's announcement that it would initially only supply 31 million doses of vaccine to the 27-nation bloc, instead of the 80 million doses it had hoped to deliver. The EU said it provided 336 million ($408 million) to help finance the production of AstraZeneca's vaccine at four factories months before it was appr...

Brian O'Donovan, Washington Correspondent, on comments from the President-elect of the United States Joe Biden that he wants to see an open border on the island of Ireland, post-Brexit.

In this episode, Garrison is joined by Dr. Patrick Holden of the University of Plymouth to discuss Ireland's perspectives on the world today. Surveying Irish history and applying its experiences with its border with Northern Ireland, the two delve into the topics of Brexit and potential Irish reunification, while considering the impact of COVID on the devolved U.K. governments. They also touch on the topic of U.S-Irish relations, and the potential differences between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden towards the Irish Border and Brexit.

Labour have released a leaked government document claiming it is proof there will be checks on the Irish border after Brexit, but Boris Johnson insists there won't be. So who is right? LBC's Matthew Thompson explains.

On today's Brexit Day special podcast we explore how it'll affect our day-to-day lives. We also discuss the key issues to be negotiated between the UK and the EU through the transition period before the end of the year.

Since the recording of this podcast, the election returned a majority Conservative government in Westminster which has since passed the Withdrawal Agreement for leaving the EU. A transition period, lasting at least until the end of 2020, should mean British citizens in EU countries will retain their current rights until at least that period. If you are worried about your situation, you can get advice from independent organisations such as the Immigrant Council of Ireland (https://www.immigrantcouncil.ie/contact). We’re back to Ireland in today’s episode. Joined by Luke Butterly, a journalist who has focussed on bordering between the UK and Ireland, Michaela explores two prominent dimensions of the Brexit at their intersections: the border and migration. As they discuss, the prevailing imaginings of a frictionless border hide from view the racialised politics of the border made visible in who is questioned for their right to cross this border freely. Repositioning questions of Brexit and the border within this politics shifts focus from the history of the British-Irish relationship to how it is caught up in bordering regimes in both countries. They also highlight how  falling back on the Common Travel Area overlooks the rights of UK citizens living in Ireland that rest on EU directives about Freedom of Movement, with the consequence that these have not been addressed.    Find out more about Luke and his work on this contently site https://lukejbutterly.contently.com.

One of the almost unsolvable problems with the U.K.’s exit from the E.U. is that it would necessitate a “hard border” between Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., and the Republic of Ireland, which would remain a member nation in Europe. The border was the epicenter of bloody conflict during the decades-long Troubles, and was essentially dismantled during the peace established by the Good Friday Agreement, in 1998. The prospect of fortifying it, with customs-and-immigration checks, has already brought threats of violence from paramilitaries such as the New I.R.A. At the same time, moving the customs border to ports along the coast of Northern Ireland—as the U.K.’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has proposed—strikes Northern Irish loyalists as a step toward unification with the Republic, which they would view as an abandonment by Britain. Patrick Radden Keefe, who wrote about the Troubles in his book “Say Nothing,” discusses the intensely fraught issues of the border with Simon Carswell, the public-affairs editor of the Irish Times. Plus, the writer Carmen Maria Machado takes us back to a farmers’ market of her childhood.

One of the almost unsolvable problems with the U.K.’s exit from the E.U. is that it would necessitate a “hard border” between Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., and the Republic of Ireland, which would remain a member nation in Europe. The border was the epicenter of bloody conflict during the decades-long Troubles, and was essentially dismantled during the peace established by the Good Friday Agreement, in 1998.

The second installment in two episodes bringing you the voices of those with the most at stake as a disastrous No Deal Brexit threatens the island of Ireland. Naomi O'Leary and Tim Mc Inerney speak to Orla Smyth, a businesswoman who has invested everything she had in building Belfast's thriving Kaffe O coffee chain, only to see the prospect of tariffs, the plummeting pound and delays at the border threatening all she has worked for. A man whose house is a mile from the border tells us what it was like growing up in militarized South Armagh and how the prospect of a return to the past drove him into activism. And border integration expert Caitríona Mullan talks us through life in a cross-border household, the work that has gone into building networks across the dividing line, and how she sees people reverting to old coping mechanisms from the time of conflict to deal with the atmosphere of uncertainty.

With the threat of a cliff edge Brexit posing extremely serious consequences for the island of Ireland and the border, we bring you the voices of people with the most at stake. Featuring a doctor in Derry who is worried about his patients getting their essential medicines, young people in Belfast facing changes to their rights, and people who rely on a peaceful open border in their daily lives. We hear from Irish News security correspondent Allison Morris on why the Brexit uncertainty and talk of a hardened border has emboldened dissident republicans, with an increasing pace of shootings and bombings over recent months. Tim Mc Inerney sums up the chaos and shenanigans in Westminster so far, and the government's predictions of riots and shortages in the case of a No Deal. Naomi O'Leary describes the view from Belfast's loyalist Shankill Road, where she went to interview former paramilitaries about their dissatisfaction with the peace, why they hate the so-called "Backstop", and the real risks of a return to violence they see now. This is the first in a two-part episode focused on the voices of those for whom the Brexit stakes are highest.

A government minister has rejected the suggestion that Ireland is “in denial” over the reality of what a crash-out Brexit will mean for the Irish Border. Influential news organisation the Financial Times has reported a nervousness in Europe over a perceived reluctance to detail of how the Irish government plans to protect the single market in the event of a hard Brexit. A senior diplomat is quoted as saying: “Our friends in Ireland are still in a state of denial. We are not talking about building a wall, but we need to preserve the integrity of the single market”. The diplomat went on to say some in Dublin are beginning to understand, but others are less clear. However, Minister for European Affairs, Helen McEntee rejected the suggestion. Speaking to the Floating Voter - Independent.ie's political podcast - she said she always receives a message of support from her colleagues across Europe who say “we're behind you..we know you can't put up any border”. “I don't think so and this is the whole point of it. We know how bad it would actually be if that is the case and that's not a denial. We know how hard and how difficult it would be to protect the invisible border but what that possibly means for the rest of the island, what that possibly means for certain industry and sectors,” she said. Today German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with a group of people from the Border region in Dublin before a meeting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. The Meath East TD said this was not an effort to convince Ms Merkel to stand over her support for the Irish position. “It's just about making sure that she has an opportunity to meet these people and for them to know that she supports them,” she said. Pressed on why there were not yet solid proposals on how to avoid a hard border in a no deal scenario Ms McEntee that things had not moved into that space yet. “We're in conversations. The discussions with the Commission have started to increase more in terms of what that might look like. But there are no concrete proposals because we are not in that space yet,” she said. Ireland needs to stay focused on the fact that Britain wants a deal she added.

Richard Porritt and Steve Anglesey return to deep dive into another week of Brexit mayhem.  This week the pair plot out alternative Brexit futures, ponder whether the the border problem could have been solved a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away and crown a Brexiteer of the Week.

Hardly mentioned during the referendum campaign, the question of a hard border in Ireland has become crucial in the Brexit process. Chris Morris discovers how economics, politics and history all play a role in making this border so sensitive as the UK leaves the EU. Producer: Chris Bowlby Editor: Hugh Levinson

A sneak preview of a bonus episode published to thank our Patreon supporters. Hear the full episode at patreon.com/theirishpassport. How has Brexit transformed the debate on Irish unification? Naomi O'Leary and Tim Mc Inerney hear from locals in Northern Ireland on why a referendum on unity some thought they'd never see in their lifetime suddenly seems closer than ever. Naomi describes the mood on the ground and lays out polling that shows why the border is such a decisive issue. David McCann of Slugger O'Toole explains how politics in Northern Ireland has transformed since the referendum, and we hear from self-described unionist Raymond McCord on why he's battling for clarification of the circumstances under which a vote on unification could be held.

Our 10th episode is a whopper – they say a week is a long time in politics and it has never been truer than the last week or so in Brexit.

In this weeks episode Brian interviews Victoria Hewson from the Institute of Economic Affairs, a right wing think tank based in Brussels. They discuss the resignation of Boris Johnson and David Davis, how the Irish border issue could be solved and the broad strokes of the contents of the White Paper.  You can follow Victoria on twitter at @MissVHewson and the IEA over at @iealondon.

Theresa May has her cabinet working on two possible outcomes for the Irish border post-Brexit - either a customers partnership or a solution that relies on technology. Katy Hayward, from Queens University Belfast, has twenty years research experience on the impact of the EU on the Irish border and the peace process. She doesn't seem impressed by either of the two approaches the government is pursuing.

"I've covered a lot of financial scandals in French politics.... they usually get off". Lara Marlowe talks to Chris about the latest financial scandal to cross her desk: the arrest of former president Nicolas Sarkozy on suspicion of taking illegal cash donations from the late Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi. And it's been yet another significant week on the road to Brexit. The 'backstop' - a UK government promise to maintain the status quo at the Irish Border if no better solution is found - is back, after doubt was cast on the pledge by Prime Minister Theresa May last month. Europe Editor Patrick Smyth explains why the concession is a minor win for Ireland.

Marian Harkin, European Union Parliament Member representing Ireland, discusses Brexit and the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic. Jennifer Bartashus, Senior U.S. Food Retail Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, and Alan Bjerga, Bloomberg agriculture reporter, on Walmart: farming drones and e-commerce whistle blower.Chuck Lieberman, Bloomberg Prophet and Chief Investment Officer & Managing Partner Advisors Capital Management LLC, on more bad news for the MLP sector. Dr. Eric Cole, CEO of Secure Anchor Consulting, and former Technical Director for the C.I.A. who served on the Cybersecurity Commission for President Obama, discusses the Russian hack on US critical infrastructure.

The role of the Strategic Communications Unit has come under the spotlight thanks to this week's controversy over a series of 'advertorials' placed in regional and national newspapers, including The Irish Times, concerning the new national development plan, Project 2040. To discuss this story, Hugh and Pat are joined by Gerard Howlin, a public affairs consultant, Irish Examiner columnist and former senior political adviser to the Ahern government who says the origins and characteristics of the SCU suggest an unwelcome blurring of lines between politics and the Civil Service. Also on the podcast: cans last seen flying down the road towards Brexit are reappearing this week. The Irish Border question is back and is posing a major threat to UK-EU negotiations.

Northern Ireland is proving to be the single biggest risk to Brexit talks as negotiators struggle to reconcile competing demands for the UK to leave the customs union while keeping an open border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland. Siona Jenkins discusses possible solutions to the Irish border question with the FT's James Blitz and Arthur Beesley, and with Michael Dougan, professor of European law at the University of Liverpool See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How do individuals on national or societal peripheries make use of tradition and to what ends? How can narratives discursively construct a complex worldview? These are some of the questions Ray Cashman seeks to answer in his new book Packy Jim: Folklore and Worldview on the Irish Border (University of Wisconsin Press, 2016). Focusing on the singular character of Packy Jim McGrath and the narratives that feature in his repertoire—from personal experience narratives to stories about the supernatural—we are taken into a lifeworld in which Packy Jim struggles with and develops his own answer to questions of authority, power, sacrifice, place, belief, and more, in a world of limited good. As many people told Cashman during his fieldwork (though they mean something slightly different), “If you want real folklore, Packy Jim is your man.” Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's budget went without a hitch for the May government, but what does the future hold for the economy? And why was Labour's response so poor? Plus, can cooler heads prevail over brokering a new relationship between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic after Brexit?

Ever considered that the reason nobody has come up with an answer to how the EU border with Northern Ireland will work, is because there isn't one. And that's really bad news for the Republic of Ireland. In this podcast Phil Dobbie suggests that's the case. The choices of a frictionless border or North Ireland remaining within the EU are both unworkable. So what will happen if there's a hard border? Phil discusses the issue with Prof Steve Keen, an ardent Brexiteer, who believes Britain's exit will help towards the collapse of the EU and, in particular, the Euro. In the meantime, though, Ireland can expect to feel a lot of pain. Listen to find out why. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the third edition of the Law and Justice Podcast, Dr. Vittorio Bufacchi from UCC's Department of Philosophy speaks to Jane about the phenomenon of violence and Garrett Carr of Queens University Belfast talks about Brexit and it's implications for the Irish border.

Tony Connelly is Europe Editor for RTE, Ireland’s public broadcaster. He explained the contentious, at times mystifying, issue of the Irish border, what’s going to happen to Bailey’s and why the Brexit divorce may not reach a harmonious settlement.

The people of Ireland are united in opposition to any return of a visible border, involving security or customs checks. But how can this be achieved once Britain leaves the EU?
