So saddened to hear this news. But also saddened to hear the laziness of Ballymun being named as the area. Killeek Lane is as close to Swords as it is to Ballymun

They help create communal bonds, they create spaces to challenge perspectives and explore our humanity. As we emerge from COVID these spaces are needed now more than ever. Along with the need to facilitate thousands of highly skilled workers remaining in their industry 2/

I find this very sad. The flag that’s being prepared for burning clearly represents that community & the hope for a space where both ‘sides’ can feel safe. I believe we can get there but there is still a long way to go.

Dear fellow northerners. We need a conversation about this. We can’t celebrate any culture on hate. We can’t be free if we discriminate. All it does is deny us and our neighbours the opportunity to prosper. We Need To Be the future not the past! #love #Peace #Prosperity

It was such a privilege to meet Judy Dench yesterday. Simply one of the finest actors ever. One of our own. Many thanks to @IFTA Starstruck doesn’t come close.
