Last evening, we launched my late Dad's fourth and final book. We started the process of self publication before he died, with the book nearly complete, and myself, my Mum and my sister Eileen Gibney brought it to completion and launched it last night with the help of our cousin, Des Bishop.

'So much more needs to be invested in prevention, protection, legislative reform, and policy co-ordination to truly transform Ireland into a country where there is zero tolerance of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence'

Holly Cairns: Ireland still isn't doing enough to tackle violence against women

Deeply saddening to hear of the passing of Margaretta D’Arcy today.

Margaretta always fearlessly and unapologetically stood up for peace and justice in this world. Her voice will be dearly missed.

Rest in power Margaretta.

Mamdani’s and Connolly’s campaigns were similar. They both presented a vision and stayed true to that vision throughout.

It’s shocking that following Friday’s serious attack, the first thing that the Government discuss is this payment from IPAS applicants.
