The Road to Partition: You might as well call it The Idiot s Guide to Irish History

  BBC Northern Ireland’s chronicling of the years leading to Partition has the feeling of a familiar anecdote relayed by a stranger. The details are largely the same, yet the emphasis is different and you learn a few things you hadn’t known before. The Road t o Partition (BBC One, 9pm) is expertly made but very much the Idiot’s Guide to Irish History, presumably aimed at a British audience who wouldn’t know de Valera from da Vinci. Sombrely narrated by Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark from Game of Thrones), the first of two episodes recaps the Easter Rising of 1916, the massacre of Ulster regiments at the Somme, the 1918 general election and the brutal years of the War of Independence.

Arlene Foster is N I s First Female First Minister

First Female First Minister By R. Bryan Willits, Editorial Assistant Arlene Foster, the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, the largest political party in the Northern Ireland Assembly, officially began her tenure as First Minister of Northern Ireland in January, making her the youngest person, at 45, and the first woman to fill that position. Foster has represented Fermanagh and South Tyrone in the Northern Ireland Assembly since 2003, and took over from Peter Robinson as the head of her party after he stepped down in November. Fosters ascension to first minister also comes just before the centenary of the Easter Rising, a point that was not lost on Foster, who in a BBC interview stated that she would not travel to Dublin for the official centenary celebrations and said that it would not be right for her to take part in the commemorations since she believed firmly in democracy and the Union.
