The Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald recently appeared on the popular TV show Good Morning Britain and was interviewed by Richard Madeley about a UI poll in 2030. How did she do? Play the video for an answer.
Donald Trump is in something of a pickle over the Epstein files. The suspicion is that his name is in there somewhere, and his MAGA bas are not too impressed by their leader’s attempt to cover up its contents.Wasn’t openness in government one of the major planks in his election?
Comber (it’s in Co Down) was holding a summer scheme based in Comber Cricket club. The invited a range of sporting codes, including the GAA.
