Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an cúigiú lá déag de mhí an Mhárta. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Dúirt Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, Donald Trump, ag a chruinniú leis an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, sa Teach Bán tráthnóna Dé Máirt go bhfuil “grá mór” ag muintir na hÉireann dó. Dúirt sé freisin, áfach, go bhfuil “ár gcomhlachtaí pharma ag Éirinn”. Ba mhaith leis an Uachtarán iad a thabhairt ar ais chuig na Stáit Aontaithe, cé gur mhol sé na hÉireannaigh as ucht na comhlachtaí sin a mhealladh. Ní raibh aon cheilt ag an Trumpach ach an oiread ar a naimhdeas leis an Aontas Eorpach, agus mar sin de ba bheag an t-iontas gurbh iad na taraifí an téama ba lárnaí ag an bpreasócáid san Oifig Ubhchruthach. Nuair a fuair an Taoiseach deis cainte, luaigh sé an caidreamh stairiúil idir an dá thír, agus dúirt sé gurb í an fhadhb is mó a bhí le réiteach in Éirinn ná an ghéarchéim tithíochta. Maidir leis na cogaí in Gaza agus san Úcráin, thug sé freagraí taidhleoireachta gan cur isteach ar an Uachtarán ná ar an Leas-Uachtarán, J.D. Vance, a rinne argóint phoiblí le déanaí le hUachtarán na hÚcráine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Bhí an Ghaeilge á labhairt den chéad uair riamh le linn Cheisteanna an Phríomh-Aire in Westminster an tseachtain seo. Luaigh ceannaire an SDLP, Claire Hanna, go bhfuil Seachtain na Gaeilge ar siúl anois, agus go bhfuil ceiliúradh Lá Fhéile Pádraig ar na bacáin freisin. An méid sin ráite, lean sí uirthi ansin i mBéarla, agus mhol sí an Príomh-Aire, Keir Starmer, as caidreamh “cairdiúil agus dlúth” a chothú idir Éire agus an Bhreatain. Thug sí cuireadh dó freisin teacht go Béal Feirste an bhliain seo chugainn chun freastal ar Fhleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. Ghabh an Príomh-Aire buíochas léi agus ghuigh sé Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona dóibh siúd a bheadh ag ceiliúradh na féile. Dúirt an SDLP gur gníomh “siombalach” don Ghaeilge é ráiteas a gceannaire.Tá póilíní na Gearmáine sa tóir ar changarú a bhí caillte de réir dealraimh tar éis do thiománaí a chur in iúl go raibh sé ag léimneach síos an bóthar in aice le baile Sebnitz gar don teorainn leis an tSeicia. Tar éis an radharc neamhghnách a fheiceáil, ghlaoigh an tiománaí ar na póilíní agus chuir sé grianghraf chucu mar fhianaise. Ach faoin am a tháinig siad ar an láthair, bhí an cangarú imithe glan. Is beag eolas atá ar fáil faoin ainmhí, a dúirt na póilíní, ach an lá dár gcionn thuairiscigh bean go raibh cangarú áirithe ar iarraidh. In 2023, tharla oibríocht ollmhór póilíneachta i mBeirlín nuair a tuairiscíodh go raibh leon scaoilte ar shráideanna na cathrach. Chuir siad deireadh leis an gcuardach, áfach, tar éis dóibh anailís a dhéanamh ar an bhfíseán agus a thuiscint nach leon a bhí ann, ach torc.taraifí - tariffsfreagraí taidhleoireachta - diplomatic answersar na bacáin - coming soon, in the pipelinecuireadh - invitation

Newly released Dublin files reveal former taoiseach John Bruton was suspicious not only of Sinn Féin and the SDLP, but even his own Department of Foreign Affairs.

Michelle O'Neill faced the assembly and with the repeated use of the words “sorry” and “apologise” tried to extricate Sinn Féin from the mire of the Michael McMonagle controversy – is it enough?

When Keir Starmer visited Northern Ireland, it was a moment when it was possible to believe that things will start moving again. Casement Park will be built, maybe in time for the Euros in 2028 and the childish stunts of the recent past might not be tolerated with Hilary Benn as Secretary of State. Joe talks about why it's important to distinguish between a politician like Gregory Campbell and honourable unionists. Joe explains why the SDLP would run a candidate against Sinn Fein even if it meant the leader of the Ku Klux Klan won the seat. And Dion makes Joe an offer he can't refuse- will he play a game of cricket if it means meeting one of his heroes?This episode of Free State is sponsored by Manscaped.

Gerry Fitt was once political giant, but he ended up in obscurity, sitting in the House of Lords as a baron. Once described as ‘Fenian Fitt' he ended up with more unionist views, derided as ‘Fitt the Brit'. Who really was Gerry Fitt and what is the story behind his political journey?

It's been a horrendous campaign for the Conservatives so far, careening from disaster to catastrophe, but the Tories don't have the exclusive on political drama. This week Nish and Coco focus on the action in the devolved nations, with a particular focus on Wales and Northern Ireland. First, we check in with Welsh Journalist Will Hayward to learn about the recent vote of no confidence in First Minister Vaughan Gething and Labour's manifesto pledge to tune up the current devolution agreements. Then, Coco chats to Plaid Cymru Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth, to learn more about Plaid's ambitions for Wales and their plans to turn up the heat on Labour. Later, we check in to Northern Ireland, speaking to journalist Amanda Ferguson about the stakes of the next election and whether allegations about former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson will have any bearing on the election. Finally, the gang break out some of Coco's recently rebranded charming and quizzical moments.

"When I came to Northern Ireland, when I was walking on the streets of Derry, I could hardly see a black person. At that time, I think there were only three Kenyans, with me being the fourth person."Lilian Seenoi-Barr is about to make history by becoming Northern Ireland's first black mayor. Ms Seenoi-Barr was selected by the SDLP party to become the next first citizen of Derry City and Strabane District Council but despite the support she received, she has also faced some backlash and racist abuse. She was born in Kenya and left in 2010 to start a new life in Northern Ireland. She proudly comes from the Maasai tribe but since moving to Derry, she has been focused on building community and support for other immigrants.Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja spoke to her about her journey and why she decided to become a politician. Presenter: Alan Kasujja. Guest: Lilian Seenoi-Barr.
Derry City SDLP Councillor Lilian Seenoi-Barr is due to make history and become the first black Mayor ever in Northern Ireland.
The SDLP has said it will not be sending any party representatives to Washington for St Patrick's Day.

Wolfe Tone's Cordial Union Last week I attended an event in Parliament Buildings at Stormont, hosted by US Special Economic Envoy Joe Kennedy. There was a panel discussion on the impact of the Good Friday Agreement which involved myself, former DUP leader Peter Robinson; former Alliance Assembly Speaker Eileen Bell; Lady Daphne Trimble, President of the Ulster Unionist Party; and former SDLP leader Mark Durkan. First Minister designate Michelle O'Neill, DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson and UUP leader Doug Beattie were all present. Ceasefires NowNews from the Middle East continues to numb and outrage and anger most people. But we cannot give up. We have a duty to the people of Palestine to stay focussed on the demands to Stop the War - Support Humanitarian Initiatives - Start Peace Talks. The people of Israel and Palestine need the support of the international community. We are part of that community. Let us find ways to get our leaders to uphold international law. End the siege of Gaza. Free Palestine. PULSEMickey Coleman , his wife Erin and their sons Micheál and Riordan were in An Cultúrlann last week on Belfast's Falls Road to launch Mickey's new book PULSE. Peter Canavan was there also along with mé féin. I never thought I would be on a panel with Peter Canavan - one of my footballing heroes and all Ireland champion with Tyrone. Twice. But there we were telling yarns and sharing songs and funny stories. And a bunch of fine singers from Glassdrummond entertained us and moved everyone with their rendition of The Brantry Boy.

Coco and her special guest Femi Oluwole pore over the bin fire that was the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. Was Sunak strengthened or weakened by the whole HS2 fiasco - and what was the thinking behind wheeling out his wife for a surprise appearance?

Plus Femi on playing real-life Pokemon Go in Manchester…only with Tory Ministers.What's it like for the people of Northern Ireland to be without a functioning government for the last 18 months? The SDLP's Matthew O'Toole explains the real world effects of the collapse of power sharing - including on the country's drinking water. He also tells us why being in Stormont right now is like being on the set of The Shining.Plus Femi has some tips for budding activists, and reflects on the personal toll of putting himself in the firing line by calling out Brexit lies.
