Pat Poland reflects on the remarkable time when The Nazis arrived in Kinsale
It was Saturday morning, 19 January 1946, when local solicitor Dick Hegarty left his home in Kinsale, Co. Cork, to take his usual bracing walk along the pier. World War Two had finally come to an end just four months’ before with the surrender of Japan to General MacArthur in Tokyo Bay.

Nations need to be on guard against another Trump
Much is riding on the cracks appearing in the pillars of US democracy. Autocratic regimes, such as China and Russia, emboldened by the US failures, may attempt to exert greater power and influence to fill the spaces left by those cracks.

The predicament of the US, in turn, may become the blueprint on which other democracies begin an unstoppable decline. This will be the disastrous long-term legacy of Donald Trump.
