When Barack Obama moved into the White House, many felt a sense of optimism despite the vast challenges facing America. Such feelings, naturally, recalled January of 1961 when, on a bright, frozen Washington morning, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was inaugurated, declaring that “the torch has been passed to a new generation – born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage.”
It wasn’t just Kennedy’s speech, youth and good looks that gave people a reason to feel optimistic. It was also the undeniable history of the occasion. Kennedy was the descendant of an Irish Famine survivor and America’s first Catholic president.

SIR – What a shambles! I am a staunch Conservative but I have to agree with comments made by Sir Keir Starmer on the news channels.
The Prime Minister made two huge errors. He should have sacked Dominic Cummings after his spree at Barnard Castle and Matt Hancock immediately, instead of saying, after he had received an apology, that the matter was “closed”.
The Prime Minister needs to be more like Churchill, who had the strength of character to replace at least one close friend in his Cabinet during the Second World War as he deemed it necessary.
Swift action: Conservation project underway in Limerick to save birds on Red list
Reporter: );
AN ambitious conservation project to save Swifts - a small migratory bird is underway in Limerick.
Swifts, which weigh as little as a Cadbury’s Cream Egg, are fascinating birds which spend most of their lives in constant flight only ever landing to nest.
A project that aims to entice Swifts to stay briefly and breed in purpose-build nest-boxes at five locations in Limerick city is underway.
In one of the first multi-stakeholder projects of its kind in Ireland, Limerick City and County Council is collaborating with several other organisations and groups to support the Awift population in Limerick as part of Limerick’s European Green Leaf City legacy projects.
