As some may know I am over in San Francisco for a few days. Those of us here, trying to do business for ourselves and land a great economic opportunity for NI, are feeling the pain of separation at this time.
I recall feeling this pain before, years ago, when a group of us was overseas when one of the atrocities of the ‘troubles’ occurred and the world’s press was focused back home.
Our pain is for our island. Our hurt is made more acute by physical separation…not that we could add anything by being home. In fact while here we will tell everyone we can that these men do not represent the will of the people of Ireland.
Meantime, our hearts go out to the families of the people killed in Antrim and now Lurgan. We continue to pray for those left behind and for the injured.

We welcome short comments on Belfast Media Group blog postings but you should be aware that, since we've put our names to our articles, we encourage you to do so also. Preference in publication will be given to those who provide an authenticated full name — as is already the case in our newspapers. Comments should be short and relate to the subject matter and, of course, shouldn't be libelous. And remember, if you find that there isn't enough space on our blogs for your views, you can always start your own. There are over two million blogs out there, another one can only benefit the blogosphere.
