The Greater Belfast Branch of the Communist Party of Ireland (CPI) welcomes the growing and necessary debate on an all-Ireland health service as an intrinsic part of the process of Irish reunification, which we believe would contribute to building trust and overcoming fears and division. Thereby putting the question of a united Ireland in a concrete form rather than just an aspiration. In particular we welcome the article by Seanín Graham – ‘All-island health-care services in spotlight’ (July 8).
The Covid pandemic has clearly demonstrated the critical role of, and the necessity for, a fully-funded and protected public health service.

A Cambridge University college has threatened students with eviction if they do not remove LGBT flags and political posters from their windows.

THERE is a consensus among historians that the King and the Archbishop of Glasgow did not initially intend to execute John Ogilvie. But the Jesuit priest - Scotland’s only canonised Catholic martyr - could not help himself during questioning, and on March 10, 1615 he was convicted of high treason at the Tolbooth and hanged on the same day at Glasgow Cross. John Ogilvie (1579-1615) claimed to be from a noble family in the North East and to have been raised as a Protestant. He was educated on the continent, converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained as Jesuit priest at Paris in 1610.
