Clodagh Finn is a journalist, writer and collector of stories. Her recent book, The Irish in the Resistance, co-authored with John Morgan, shines a light on the forgotten contributions of the Irish who resisted Hitler during WW2.

I HAVE a bit of breaking news. Well, that might be overstating it at a time when the world is facing so many real and urgent crises. Then again, it’s at times such as these that we need a little bit of sweet nostalgia.

So here’s the update. The Two and Two, the luxurious, almost decadent chocolate bar once made by Urney Chocolates, is on the way back. Not straight away, but Leo Cummins at Hazelbrook Confectionery in Kildare says the return of the bar is one of the company’s next major projects for the year ahead.
