ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

I want to apologise to everyone for this week's rather interrupted service. It's not been because of any lack of material - today's withdrawal of the Victims Commission Bill from its consideration stage in the Assembly, for example, provides plenty of food for thought.

Instead I have found myself squeezed for time because a report on the alleged back channel between the DUP and Sinn Fein which I put together for tonight's ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Newsline took up all my attention. It included a clip of Bertie Ahern heaping praise on an unnamed journalist for assisting the process.

Now it's nearly eleven o'clock at night and I am due up ridiculously early to catch a transatlantic flight. I have a rendezvous with Ian Paisley planned for Washington D.C. So there will be another enforced interruption, but I shall try to locate a keyboard somewhere in the US capital, in order to recommence normal service as soon as possible.
