A man on a galloping horse could see this coming if they allowed this march to go ahead. How the PSNI assessment could state that they didn’t anticipate disturbance is incomprehensible? They knew well enough at beginning of the week to call in reinforcements from England.

The crowd stretches back as far as the eye can see and weaves through the streets of Ballina today at our National Hunger Strike Commemoration. An enormous turnout to remember Ireland’s Hunger Strikers and honour their courage and sacrifice.

I've had this idea for a while. A noir style novel based in Dublin in the early 1920s. Based very loosely on researching my own family's involvement in the Easter Rising and the events afterwards. Would you read it? @adrianmckinty

Congratulations Lucy Powell on becoming education secretary. We look forward to a breath of fresh air in the department and finally someone serious about tackling educational inequality.
