The Blanket is updated every Sunday and Thursday. Articles on this page are in order of appearance on website; Use the 'find' command to search for articles by author or title, or use the Google search engine to search the site for an article of interest   I am of course confident that I will fulfill my tasks as a writer in all circumstances --from my grave even more successfully and more irrefutably than in my lifetime. No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death. But may it be that repeated lessons will finally teach us not to stop the writer's pen during his lifetime? At no time has this ennobled our history.  - Alexander Solzhenitsyn 2002 ARTICLE ARCHIVE Anthony McIntyre Brendan Hughes Tommy Gorman Liam O Ruairc Billy Mitchell Aíne Fox Davy Carlin Ciarán Irvine 2001 ARTICLE INDEX • For previously archived articles, please see the archive section of the IRWG website • Voice of the Lark (Public Debates 2001)
