Kristallnacht is a dark episode in Irish diplomacy

Seventy four years ago today the Nazis broke the glass. Kristallnacht gave the Nazis the confidence to go on and do what they did.

The Irish diplomatic mission in Berlin behaved dishonourably on the night the glass broke in Berlin and all across the German Reich.

Robert Fisk in today's 'Irish Independent' writes why he refuses to wear a poppy.

The current issue of 'Alive' yet again denigrates the European Union.

Surely the  European Union aspires to a world that makes far more sense than the Battle of Marne, Kristallnacht or indeed the ideology that is peddled in 'Alive'.
