Biaised Broadcasting Corporation slips out Irish news between other items hoping they wouldn't be noticed
Two news items slipped out by the English state controlled Biaised Broadcasting Corporation:
Maze escaper kidnap case collapse
The trial of former IRA leader Brendan McFarlane has collapsed at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin.
The Belfast man had faced charges in connection with the kidnapping of English supermarket executive Don Tidey almost 25 years ago.
The prosecution said it would offer no further evidence after a court ruling that garda evidence was inadmissible.
The court ruled that incriminating statements he allegedly made could not be used in evidence.
Mr McFarlane had denied charges of possession of firearms, intent to endanger life and unlawful imprisonment.
Order again banned from Garvaghy
Orangemen will not be permitted to march down the Garvaghy Road in Portadown next month, the Parades Commission has ruled.
The ruling follows the revelation that Orange Order members held a meeting with Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams.
Orangemen have been banned from parading down the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road since 1998.
The commission said the lodge's willingness to "engage in direct discussions was a significant advance".
The Orange Order's talks with Mr Adams took place last week at an undisclosed location.
Portadown district master Daryl Hewitt said there "had been a full and frank discussion".
The Grand Lodge of Ireland said they heard about the meeting through the media and while they understood the frustration of members in Portadown, they "did not believe clandestine meetings were in the best interests of the institution".
