Hugh's photographs are everywhere in Ráth Mór - barely a book or pamphlet has been produced here over the past 30 years that he wasn't involved in. He was a real community champion and Creggan champion. Suaimhneas síoraí air.

Good news indeed and shows the value of persistent lobbying. Stormont needs to move urgently towards full autonomy for the North West and release it from debt-laden, Belfast-centred control. Derry’s growth will be much quicker and more sustainable when it is free of UU.

Magee needs to have its own Derry/NW-based executive, to direct the academic and operational management of the campus, as it moves to full autonomy.

Enough. The urgent priority has to be a cross-border development commission for the North West - to rebuild our region around an independent university. Left unchecked, Belfast will paint its new £400m uni with liquid gold while Derry students scramble for places in bail hostels.

A new development agency is being proposed in Belfast to try to improve the city's economy and make it safer. bbc.in/4oKJGlw

Ceist thromchúiseach: cad chuige nach bhfuil gach comhartha sráide agus comhartha bóthair sa Tuaisceart dátheangach anois mar ghnáthnós? Serious question: why isn't every street and road sign in the North now bilingual as a matter of course?

But not these particular voters… Next election, Northerners must have equal involvement - votes, debates (one in Derry), and meaningful engagement from candidates not fly past photo-calls. Nominal Irish citizenship isn’t enough - we want the full deal. It’s our presidency too.

Paul will be on @NewstalkFM at 4pm today to talk about the article and the book.

What measures will a new Ireland adopt to retain and protect British identity? 'A New Ireland - A Five Year Review' author Paul Gosling writes in today's @IrishTimes.

Why in 2025 are we still erecting single-identity ‘Londonderry’ signs? Proposal for @dcsdcouncil: Pursuant to the Identity and Language (NI) Act 2022, and to protect against discrimination, we support the replacement of single-identity signage on roads and streets in our area.

Road signs with the words Northern Ireland or Londonderry have been reported missing or damaged dozens of times in recent years. bbc.in/4ouBw0C

Fee increases are very bad news for Derry as a border city. Our fees are ALREADY DOUBLE those of our nearest neighbours in the South, which has pledged to eradicate student fees entirely. We need a cross-border university to regenerate the entire North West region.
