New statue commemorates people of the ‘forgotten cemetery'
A new statue has been put in place to commemorate the people of the so called ‘forgotten cemetery’, which was rediscovered during an archaeological dig. The N61 Coolteige Road Project was initiated to straighten, and make safer, a stretch of road just north of Roscommon Town. “He also represents the males that were buried in this forgotten cemetery,” Ms Gillooly said. Thereafter, the proposal was forwarded to the Roscommon Town Team to proceed with the project. In 2023, Transport Infrastructure Ireland published the 'The Forgotten Cemetery' by Shane Delaney and Eileen Murphy, which describes the excavation and post-excavation work carried out at the site.

The British Medical Association’s Northern Ireland junior doctors committee (NIJDC) said it comes amid frustration at a “continued failure to address pay erosion, which now equates to a 30% reduction in 15 years”. NIJDC chair Dr Fiona Griffin described the ballot for a 24-hour strike from 8am on March 6 to 8am on March 7 as “unprecedented” among junior doctors in Northern Ireland. “Let me reiterate that strike action does not need to happen,” she said. We would welcome any approach from the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to talk to us. “We are meeting with the Permanent Secretary for Health and we would urge them to consider our asks and work with us to improve the working lives of doctors in Northern Ireland.

UK writes to Irish government to formally register regret at legacy legal case
The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 will also halt future civil cases and legacy inquests. The UK Government’s laws are opposed by many victims groups in Northern Ireland and all the main Stormont parties. He said the “strong” legal advice was that the UK Legacy Act breached the UN Convention on Human Rights. Tanaiste Mr Martin said they were taking the case reluctantly after having spent time trying to change the UK Government’s mind. The Northern Ireland Office (NIO) confirmed to the PA news agency that a letter had been issued formally registering “profound regret” at the interstate case.

Yousaf: Boosting living standards the 'prize of independence'
Opposition parties described it as the “same old speech about independence” from the SNP leader. While his party's poll numbers have fallen, support for independence has remained around the 50% mark. Tomorrow's speech is part of Mr Yousaf's bid to win back those Yes supporters scunnered with the SNP. “The SNP has presided over stagnant growth and utterly failed to engage with business or promote economic prosperity,” she added. Pamela Nash, chief executive of Scotland in Union, said: "What Humza Yousaf's speech won't address is the devastating impact separation would have on Scotland's economy.
