Losing Grace O’Sullivan is a massive loss to Ireland.
She saw politics as a way to bring real positive change, not just photo ops.
I am so proud to have been a small part of her work on the most pressing issues of our time: climate, nature, rights for refugees and Palestinians.

Gutted that we have lost Ciarán Cuffe in the European Parliament. One of those rare MEPs who put hard legislation first in what can often be a bit of a media circus of a parliament.
The entire continent will have better insulated homes because of the work he did on the EPBD law
It's been a pleasure and a privilege to serve as Dublin's Green MEP for the past five years. Thanks to all who helped me on the way.
The future of our common home is bigger than one person, one party, or one election. I wish all who serve the best for their time in office.

Historic move that shows how isolated the West is on Gaza.
The rest of the world is calling for a ceasefire while EU leaders can barely find the courage to criticise the killing of 20,000 civilians.
I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.
Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.
