Charlie Haughey was quite right to withdraw Ireland's support for EEC sanctions against Argentina, for several reasons. Among these are:

The Sunday Tribune has lost well over £lm. since it started publiication in November 1980 and it needs a further £lm. at least to continue in existence from next September onnwards. But its publisher, Hugh McLauughlin is confident not alone that he can raise sufficient cash for the Sunnday paper but that he can raise a few, million more for a daily paper to begin publication in the autumn.

IN OUR RECENT disclosures on the infiltration tactics of The Workers' Party we did not have space to menntion how members or close supporters of the party had managed to get themmselves into key positions in the Nationnal Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Ireeland.

MEDIA COVER of Dail Eireann is likely to be suspended if a row between the superintendent of the House and the Press Gallery isn't settled soon. Superintendent Eamon O'Donoghue doesn't believe in making life too easy for reporters and is refusing to sign the 1982 membership cards for the Gallery without a guarantee that only 50 journalists will in future be allowed in for big occasions like budget day.

Nicky Kelly, of Arklow, Co. Wicklow, is currently serving a 12-year jail sentence in Portlaoise prison for an offence he did not commit, the Sallins mail train robbbery in March 1976. He is likely to go on hunger strike in prison within the next few weeks in protest against his conviction and, given his current mental state, he is very likely to at least do himself very considerable damage, if not actually starve himself to death.

SWFP aspirations towards socialist respectability are undermined by the continued military operations of the Official IRA and the SWFP's own ideological contortions. By Vincent Browne
