Allison Morris’ interview with the IRA woman is depicted in Disney+ series Say Nothing, a dramatised retelling of the abduction and murder of Jean McConville. Here, our crime correspondent recalls the memorable interview. On a cold morning in February 2010 Dolours Price stood at the door of her impressive Malahide home and waved me in. My drive to the Dublin suburb followed a number of calls to the newspaper office where I worked at the time, saying she wanted to tell her story.

The Ed and Tim Vaughan juggernaut continued to roll on Saturday’s meeting at Ystradowen. Hot on the heels of his first win on a course proper the sixteen-year-old wonder boy proceeded to claim five of the seven available races. It was an impressive twenty-four hours, and you definitely get the feeling that it’s not over yet.
Victory was denied of Ed in the opener however, the Llangeinor Pentyrch Hunt Members race. The laurels went to David Brace’s grand old campaigner Pink Eyed Pedro.

After months of heavy rain and re-arrangements the Curre and Llangibby Hunt finally held their meeting in blazing sunshine this past Sunday, at the picturesque Howick course just outside Chepstow. It was good to be back in the pointing field in South Wales and a healthy crowd enjoyed the day after what has been a long wet winter.
The first race on the card was the Curre and Llangibby Hunt Farmers and Subscribers race, run in memory of Patience Stratton.

Racing returns to Ystradowen this coming Sunday after several years absence. The undulating track holds a few tight corners, and its make-up has always served to bring horses together and offered exiting finishes in the past. Sadly, the initial meeting to have instigated the return to the course, that of the Glamorgan Hunt, was abandoned falling foul, as have so many this year, to the wet winter.
Five of the six entries in the opener the Hunt Members race have a rating of over one hundred.

The rearranged Curre and Llangibby meeting takes place this Sunday and the organisers will have been pleased to see some sunshine in the Welsh skies the last few days, hopefully the slight change in the weather will mean that the meeting can go ahead as planned.
The day kicks off with the Hunt Members race which at entry stage is dominated by the Luke Price yard which fields four of the seven runners. It is the little mare Joyzain who takes the eye.

A tremendous atmosphere, a large crowd, wellingtons needed underfoot but with the sun shining a good old fashioned Easter Monday meeting was underway. Admittedly, the fates had one more card to deal before the Welsh season could finally get started; a road traffic accident on the main A40 artery into Pembrokeshire meant a road closure caused such lengthy traffic queues that both horses and medical staff were delayed on the single track roads across the county.

It has been a long time coming but racing finally returns to Wales this Bank Holiday Monday. The wet weather that has besieged the country has been particularly unkind to Wales and all previous meetings on the schedule have been postponed or abandoned. The early season has always been touch and go in the Principality but this year has the deluge has hit new levels. But finally, the day has arrived where we can dust off the picnic baskets, pull out the boots and go racing.

ShelfTalker, PW’s blog written by booksellers, is ending its long and successful run at the end of the year. When Diane Roback invited me to come back and write a final ShelfTalker post I was immensely grateful. I was also stymied, because after 13 years of not blogging, there is so much I’d love to say!At Diane’s invitation I originated this blog back in March of 2007, during the decade in which I was the children’s book buyer for Wellesley Booksmith (now Wellesley Books).
