tHE ruling by High Court president Judge nicholas Kearns on the Donegal by-election is an important step towards defining the issue of separation of powers in our democratic system. there should be a three-way division of powers between the legislators (elected representatives), executive (Government) and the judiciary. the Irish judiciary has tended to yield too deferentially towards the executive, so much so that in areas such as international relations the Government has arguably enjoyed the equivalent of the royal prerogative, never intended in Bunreacht na h-Eireann.
YOU wonder how Belgium can be bothered having a national question. Does a country this small really need a velvet divorce? You can drive across it in a couple of hours and hardly notice you've been there. And, despite two years of constitutional upheaval, Belgium certainly doesn't look like a failed state. Travelling between picturesque cities such as Bruges and Ghent, with their chocolates and dentilles, you pass through endless neat suburbs and orderly villages of restored cottages. Bosnia, it isn't. Belgium is twee in a way rural England is supposed to be, but is not. I'm even told that garden gnomes came originally from Belgium, brought back home by British soldiers fighting in Flanders in the First World War. Now the gnomes of Flanders want their own country. Belgium has had one of...

THE powers devolved to Wales since 1999 are legally complicated. The main complication is that no field is fully devolved, which means that in every devolved area either central Government or the Welsh Assembly Government exercise powers for Wales. The division of power is negotiated on an individual basis between the Assembly Government and each Whitehall department. In 1999, Cardiff Law School created the Wales Legislation Online Service in order to assist members of the Welsh Assembly Government and the National Assembly for Wales, the legal profession, academia, the private sector and the wider public to identify the functions transferred to and performed by the National Assembly for Wales and by the Welsh Assembly Government. It is the only comprehensive statement of the powers whi...
IT'S not often you see a library with a bar in it. Maybe it's what's needed to get borrowing numbers up. An unorthodox setting to celebrate an unorthodox man, Congleton Library last night became a shrine to Joy Division singer and global icon Ian Curtis.
LOW-scoring games were the order of the day in the First Division, but they still made for some enthralling cricket. Orrell Red Triangle thought they had done the hard work to dismiss St Helens for 99 (Robbie Supria 43) thanks to good spells Andrew Mercer (4-29 off 20) and Adnan Malik (3-39). But there were five home ducks as they were ripped apart by Gary Sheppard (5-30) and Rakesh Patel (4-28) for 63.
EVEN the man voted Scotland's greatest-ever player harbours a regret or two. For Denis Law, the World Cup Finals came late in his career. Too late, he admits, to truly do himself justice. In 1974, the legendary and prolific striker travelled to West Germany at the age of 34. His club career had already rumbled to an end at Manchester City with the infamous backheel which sent his beloved United down to the then Second Division. Yet, for the predator of old, the powers were waning.

BP's head of exploration and production has paid for the Deepwater horizon disaster with his job, as incoming boss Bob Dudley created a new safety division as part of a structural overhaul. andy inglis will step down at the end of the year as mississippi- born Dudley - who officially takes the reins from tony hayward tomorrow - hits the ground running. and in a parallel manoeuvre, aimed at drawing a line under BP's Gulf of mexico woes, Dudley launched a safety division with 'sweeping powers' to direct operations.
SUNDERLAND defender Michael Turner has warned his team-mates the next month is going to be just as tough as the last. The Black Cats faced Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in successive Barclays Premier League games as September turned to October, and emerged unbeaten and having conceded just three goals. But despite seeing the club safely negotiate a path around three of the division's traditional powers, Turner is urging caution as they prepare for clashes with less vaunted, but still dangerous opposition.
Roberto Martinez hailed a job well done as Swansea battled to a goalless draw at promotion rivals Nottingham Forest last night. Swansea dropped points for only the second time in 12 League One matches in an even contest between two of the division's major powers.
