The New Americans
Michael “Mick” McCann spent ten years of his life in a Belfast political prison for his active involvement with the Irish Republican Army. Although now free from captivity, McCann is not yet free from the IRA. He no longer wants anything to do with the organization, but they won’t let him loose until he fulfills one final mission. McCann is sent to Los Angeles, where he has been assigned to protect Ciara O’Malley, the daughter of a powerful IRA general. Ciara, a Red Cross Aid Worker, places children orphaned by the devastating Indonesian tsunami with American host families; compared to McCann, she’s a saint, and he figures his final assignment will pose no problems. Unfortunately, fate is a cruel mistress; McCann arrives in LA to find that Ciara has been kidnapped by the ruthless Russian mob. Desperate, he soon enlists every gang-banger and criminal he can find to rescue Ciara. The City of Angels may break out into explosive battle if McCann doesn’t move quickly. This is his last chance at freedom, a clean slate, and redemption.
Drive Through The Night
One of the great things about reading Frank's poems is that I was there for the genesis of some of them. He has an eye, an ear, and a heart that cuts right through to a New York long gone but still floating around the gargoyles of midtown. I'll read a poem of his and be instantly transported to the sweat-stained, passionate days of Paddy Reilly's and Rocky Sullivan's, and I'm so glad that Frank took the time to shepherd those crazy memories and turn them into fluid words on a page. Read these poems, and get a glimpse of lives that may have been abandoned but were well and truly lived. --Larry Kirwan Larry Kirwan is a musician, author, playwright, and host of Celtic Crush, a radio show on Sir...

Working effectively in fragile and conflict-affected states
The International Development Committee believes the Government is right to increase aid to fragile and conflict-affected states, such as Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) , but it must prepared suspend or even cancel a programme if a Government flouts agreements or refuses to engage in efforts to increase transparency and accountability. The MPs urge DFID to set out specific governance conditions under which it will provide direct budget support to fragile states, and any under which it will be withdrawn and apply these consistently. They also recommend that DFID invest more in community-led local initiatives which respond to community priorities and give communities more co...

Department for International Development annual report & resource accounts 2009 - 10
In the 2010 Comprehensive Spending Review the Coalition Government announced its decision to achieve the internationally agreed target of providing 0.7 percent of Gross National Income as ODA from 2013. This will involve spending an additional 2.5 billion pounds in 2013-14 to make the total DFID budget 11.3 billion pounds in that year. There will be a large increase in spending on fragile and conflict affected states and it will be difficult to ensure that every pound is well spent in such war-torn environments. When scrutinising DFID's accounts the MPs were also surprised to discover that the Pope's visit was paid for in part by money supposed to be for overseas development aid (ODA). The C...
The future of CDC
In this report the International Development Committee finds that the Government development fund - CDC - is not doing enough to alleviate poverty, does not focus on the sectors most in need and is paying its bosses too much. CDC, created in 1948 and formerly known as the Commonwealth Development Corporation, has operated since 2004 as a 'fund of funds' manager that invests in developing countries with the aim of promoting growth. It is owned by the UK's Department for International Development (DFID. But over half of CDC's portfolio is in four 'middle-income' countries - India, China, South Africa and Nigeria. It should be working in poorer countries and with poor people such as farmers and...
