I have been reading everything I can find by Claire Keegan. She is a superb writer. Her concision and precision is why she is continually compared, correctly, to Chekhov. This para from her Night of the Quicken Trees in Walk the Blue Fields for example, and his Oysters: ibiblio.org/eldritch/ac/...

Just back from talking about Ireland's future at IDA Ireland's annual conference. I took the opportunity of a keynote to say thank you. They really have delivered for Ireland. Read more about what I told them in Thursday's The Currency column but tl; dr, the future is bright if we work at it.

The fact that people in the Republic wouldn't be up for reunification if it cost them is not news. The fact that you could swing it in the North for 3,500 per person per year is definitely news. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2023...
