Category Archives: all Ireland agenda

I know I have covered this issue before but I see once again that the LEAD story on the BBC Northern Ireland news portal features a picture of the Republic of Ireland Prime Minister (with attendant Irish tricolour, natch) and concerns the failure of the southern Irish Government to cut a deal with the Unions. Now, I fully accept this is an important story but it has damn all to do with Northern Ireland. I believe this is all part of certain people in the BBC’s local office wilfully reporting on an all-Ireland basis when it comes to affairs Northern Irish. The term I have for this is hibernianisation and I suggest it belies a political agenda.
