This month we have additions to our Northern Ireland sections.

We are sad to announce that the website has lost one of our staff, David Carter a long-time contributor and well-known Cyprus authority died on 18th December 2009. David was hugely helpful to the website and a source of knowledge on the cyprus conflict that will be sorely missed. Our condolences and thoughts go out to his family.
We have opened a guestbook in Davids' memory and invite anyone to sign the book, The book can be found on the Cyprus Index.
