New paper, new deadline…

At last the two governments have issued a set of proposals for the restarting of the political process. Both Sinn Fein and the DUP will want to play cards close to their chests for the next week or so, but Ahern’s choice of 26th November is probably the realistic deadline for an outcome (good or bad) for this phase of the game. Up until then, all is speculation!

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
