Four days after the BBC's "This World" programme and pressure from both sides of the border has been building for Cardinal Sean Brady to step down as head of the Catholic Church in Ireland.

Ireland's most senior priest, Cardinal Sean Brady, is facing fresh allegations over his involvement in the Father Brendan Smyth sexual abuse affair.
The 'This World' programme by investigative reporter Darragh McIntyre claimed that the Cardinal was sent to investigate allegations against the paedophile priest in 1975 - rather than just being a note taker in the investigation as had previously been claimed. The programmes said that information about Father Smith's abuse was passed on to the Cardinal - but when "This World" spoke to all of the children who one of the victims, Brendan Boland, had identified, they all told the programme that to the best of their knowledge none of their parents or families were warned in anyway about Brendan Smyth.
In 2010, when Cardinal Brady's involvement in the affair was first revealed, he said that if he thought his failure to act led to children being abused, then he would resign.

It's the row that just won't go away - the staircase at Titanic Belfast has made the front pages again this morning.
It's all down to access to the iconic staircase which the public won't get to see when on a tour of the visitor attraction.
