SIR – Labour has lost its raison d’être. This was to advance the interests of a social stratum called Labour, which was disadvantaged socially and economically with respect to the rest of society.
It was coupled with a dogma, derived from the 19th-century origins of socialism, that the economic interests of Labour were somehow different from the “capitalist class”. That has led the party to undervalue the importance of entrepreneurialism throughout its history. This dogma was expressed in the party’s former Clause Four, replaced in 1995.
ST. MICHAEL’S Church is a very prominent building in Enniskillen for many reasons. Architecturally speaking, its spire is a stunning sight as it stands tall in the townscape. However, accompanied by the spire of neighbouring St. Macartin’s Cathedral, its visual impact is even more striking. The two spires standing together is almost a metaphor for the close neighbourly relationship the two churches – one Roman Catholic, one Protestant – that have been nurtured through the years against the backdrop of what is often perceived as a divided nation. St. Michael’s Church was built in 1875 and although the spire and belfry were on the original building plans for the church, they were not erected until 1992, more than 100 years later.

Data collated for the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Project on the Island of Ireland (HTEPII), led by MIC, has shown that the number of adults and children trafficked onto the island of Ireland between 2014 and 2019 is at least 38% higher in the Republic of Ireland and 20% higher in Northern Ireland than has been officially recorded by authorities north and south.
