Absolutely heartbroken to hear of Kevin's passing - a giant of a man in every way, we battled many times on the Gaelic football pitches of the Nordic region, but always finished up with a hug and a smile, one of my favourite people in all my time here. May he rest in peace. 💔

It is heartbreaking to see young children taking part in these anti-refugee protests around our city and country. Despite what the far right grifters say, our “Irish culture” is to teach our children to be compassionate, empathetic and respectful to other cultures.
