We extend our sincere condolences to family and friends of Nell Mc Cafferty. She was one-of-kind; an award-winning journalist, playwright, civil rights campaigner and feminist whose powerful voice was an advocate for the marginalised and victims of justice. R.I.P Nell

David Marcus, writer and editor, was born OTD in 1924 and we’re very happy to announce the forthcoming publication of this book in his honour. It's been a pleasure working on it over the past 18 months with editors Paul Delaney and Deirdre Madden. stingingfly.org/product/david-…

Thanks to the Highland Radio #Donegal production team for hosting me today: we had a wide-ranging discussion stemming from my weekend The Irish Times feature on #Derry, its past, and its future as a university city. Interview begins at :13 mins. highlandradio.com/2024/08/21/pod…

Almost ten years since Hidden City was published. Ten days or so before publication, this review by Neil Hegarty appeared in the Telegraph. Thanks Neil! telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/…

Free the poet Ilhan Sami Çomak. He has served 30 years in prison. His parole was denied last week, after having been found to be a model prisoner, they went back to his first incarceration at 22 and claimed he'd 'shouted slogans 5 times' 'made a noise 4 times'. FREE HIM NOW!

Another example of proper ambition and plans for uni investment in a city about the same size as Derry, but with approximately 30,000 students compared to Magee's 5,000+ (if you believe UU's unverified figures). Yes, I'll keep saying it, because it's blatant discrimination.

allmyownthoughts A uni, one that cares, one that isn't beholden to Belfast-first policies could be a real force for social good here. It could feed into local sports teams, contribute to a massive facility that benefits both professional teams and the public. Why can we not think big?!
