History: Most newspapers were slow to recognise that this would be only a short–term situation.

What does the above sentence refer to?

History: the fortunes of the paper began to change dramatically

In what way did the paper fortunes change? profitable or loss?

Still "broadly nationalist" in outlook?
Wondering about what it says in this article about the newspaper's political alignment. I was visiting Dublin and bought a copy of this newspaper yesterday, the day after Gerry Adams' arrest, and the front page as well as pages 3-8 were entirely devoted to discussing the story -- and every piece that had a slant of some sort was very critical of Sinn Fein, Adams, and their IRA ties. Not that you have to be pro-SF to be nationalist in outlook of course! Maybe it's pro-SDLP? Still thought it was notable enough to ask here if the paper's alignment really is still as is described in the article, anyway. No-itsme (talk) 16:49, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
