Lovely film celebrating community and its relationship with its river (the much loved Dodder). Well done to John Gormley for the film. And to Local Authority Waters Programme for supporting.

Congratulations John Gormley and Dodder Action on tonight's screening. 'This is Your River' is a beautiful tribute to the Dodder and all who love her. I hope it will draw attention to the vital contribution rivers make to our urban environments.

Dublin has lost its best MEP. I’m gutted for Ciarán Cuffe , a brilliant campaigner on Climate Change.

This is devastating, Grace. You have been an extraordinary environmental pioneer and an amazing activist and politician. What a loss for our country.

A young Eamon Ryan , 24, was my campaign manager in the 1989. I co-opted him to my council seat in 1998. He succeeded me as leader and TD in dublin bay south. He has been an outstanding minister. Go raibh maith agat, a Eamóin, as do chuid oibre ar son na tíre.

I’m down in Cork to watch Iar Ard Mhéara Chorcaí, Cllr. Dan Boyle elected as Lord Mayor. We were both first elected in 1991. After 33 years this is richly deserved. Well done, Dan. Go n-éiri go geal leat.

I never thought I'd see the day. Every time the light went green at Bachelor's Walk, a few hundred people got through the junction on buses in one phase and there were no buses left queuing.

Excellent video from Conor McNally - the climate is on the ballot in #GE24

Which party is head and shoulders above any other on addressing climate chaos? If #Climate action or protecting #Nature is important to you or our future. Please #VoteGreen No1 this Friday.

Five years ago, Ireland demanded action on climate change. Together, we have made huge progress, but we have only just begun. Vote Green #1 on Friday for real climate action and a progressive force in the next government. #GreensDeliver #GE24

In a decade’s time, long after the gaffes, promises & tantrums are long forgotten, this may come to be seen as the defining image of #ge24.

Very sad to hear this. John was the first openly gay man to stand for general election in Ireland. I spent many hours on various committees with John in the party: he was always the smartest, most polite person in the room, with an unmatched depth of political experience.
