DUP ABSENCE changed the tone of the debate at the annual West Belfast Talks Back community hustings. Listen back to the evening which discussed world peace, Brexit, amnesties, free speech and Kevin Myers, a Sign Language Act and victims.
TALK, TRUTH & TRUST … the three Ts of peace processes says Rev Harold Good who was in conversation with journalist Brian Rowan this afternoon. As well as adding Time as a fourth, he agrees with Rowan that Tea or Tetley might also be required. Listen back to the 105 minute conversation.
RHI & THE MEDIA – Listen back to a refresher of the issues and key moments in the reporting ahead of the public hearings beginning in the autumn. Sam McBride and Allison Morris reflected on the media’s handling of RHI, and listed some of the weaknesses and lessons learnt along the way.
UNITY & UNIONISM are just two of the many, many topics being tackled at Féile an Phobail this week. David McCann will chair a discussion about RHI and media, Rev Harold Good will reflect on peace processes around the world, party leaders will discuss a ‘New Ireland’, and another panel will dissect the shrinking unionist vote. And then there’s the annual West Belfast Talks Back ding dong … #feile17
