St. Comgall’s and Eileen Howell St. Comgall’s/Ionad Eileen Howell in Divis St. will be formally opened next week on Thursday the 22 June. In honour and memory of Eileen the refurbished building is being named after her. The multi-million pound project has been 21 years in the making. The transformation of what was for many years a derelict building has been amazing. All of those who have contributed in any way to its successful renovation should be very proud of their efforts.A New look at the Cinema and UnionismRichard Gallagher’s ‘Screening Ulster: Cinema and the Unionists’ is more than its title suggests. The book specifically focuses on the period from the 1980s. From the first page Gallagher sets his examination of how unionism has been portrayed in the cinema over the last 40 years.
