It time to recognise the State of PalestineIn 2014 Sinn Féin brought forward a Dáil motion calling on the government to “officially recognise the State of Palestine, on the basis of the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital …”I was part of this initiative. It got support from other TDs from other parties and none. It was not opposed by the Government at that time. Following a two day debate the motion was passed. This meant that ten years ago both Houses of the Oireachtas supported the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination - to a Palestinian state. This was a positive development. The Government should have acted on this imperative. It refused to do so. I raised this refusal regularly with successive Taoisigh. Every Taoiseach since then refused to deliver on the will and direction of  the Oireachtas. They would not  act on this imperative. Instead they argued that recognition  of a Palestinian state remained contingent on a deal with Israel to a two state solution. In reality Enda Kenny, Micheál Martin, Leo Varadkar gave the state of Israel a veto over the right of the Palestinian people to a Palestinian state.Seán Mackel and the County Antrim Memorial. Following my tribute last week to Seán Mackel Dr Tom Hartley has written to me about Seán's role in designing the County Antrim Memorial in Milltown Cemetery. This memorial  is under the care of the National Graves Association, Belfast. There are thirty four IRA Volunteers buried in this plot. It was originally called the Tom Williams plot, because money raised by the Tom Williams Gaelic Athletic and Camogie club bought the plot. The club was founded by republican prisoners in A Wing, Crumlin Road Jail who wanted to reserve a grave in this plot for the remains of Tom Williams, a young republican hanged in Crumlin Road Jail in 1942. Rights in a New IrelandThe issue of rights is at the heart of the conversation on a new Ireland. Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland which has been holding successful Peoples Assemblies across the island over the last 18 months, will host ‘Rights in a New Ireland' on Friday 3rdMay, in St Comgall's – Ionad Eileen Howell, Divis Street, between 11.00am – 1.00pm

We are now just 4 weeks away from the start of the NFL Draft, and wheels certainly are already spinning in the war room of the New Orleans Saints. With so few offensive lineman on this roster, will this team do what most experts think is best – and draft a potential starting left tackle? That is topic A and B for Jim Derry and guest Fletcher Mackel of WDSU-TV sports on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 221), as they also talk about the resiliency of the New Orleans Pelicans and their bounce-back win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday and the Boston Celtics coming to town on Saturday. Is this the most important homestand in franchise history? Also, we dive into the chances for the LSU women's basketball team in the Sweet 16 against UCLA and possibly in the Elite 8 against potentially Caitlin Clark and Iowa. For the “Extra Point” Jim goes back 42 years to March 29, 1982 when he was 13-year-old boy in the terrace of the Louisiana Superdome watching the real GOAT become the GOAT … Michael Jordan's shot that lifted North Carolina to a national championship.

Imagine having a stunt double at work. Fletcher Mackel basically does in his role as a sports anchor at WDSU-TV. That's because the guy often sitting next to him on the anchoring desk doing the news is his identical twin brother Travers. The Brothers Mackel have share a lot of experiences together. They grew up playing baseball in New Orleans. Both attended college and played baseball at Loyola University. And they both signed on at WDSU more than 20 years ago where Fletcher jokes "we're now a package deal and you're stuck with both of us."  Soon, the guys will have something else in common as both will have worked on the Hearst Olympic Team. Fletcher is looking forward to adding Olympic experience to a resume that already includes Super Bowls and college championships.  Fletcher's family has been in New Orleans for generations and civic pride fuels both his work ethic and passion. His energy is off the charts and if you like an inspirational quote, grab a pen because he drops them like crazy!  On this Dying to Ask: What it's like to work with an identical twin (should probably ask the staff of WDSU about that) How his hometown fuels his work ethic and passion And the sports guy makes a prediction on who's going to own Beach Volleyball in Paris
