So sad to hear about the untimely death of the wonderful Sean Rocks. He was the voice of the arts in Ireland and his passion was palpable in each and every programme but I have such fond memories of his great performance in Frank Pig Says Hello at Andrews Lane Theatre. RIP Sean.

A wonderful poet and a kind gentleman with a warm heart and a great sense of humour. RIP. It was an honour to know this great man.

Why do we have to keep asking - where are the women? And indeed other minorities. Beyond frustrating
I am honoured to have been appointed to serve as Minister for Children, Disability and Equality in the new government. I would like to thank Taoiseach Micheál Martin for the exciting opportunity he has given me.

Unbelievable memories of d’unbelievables at Andrews Lane. RIP Jon.
Such sad news to reach us on the passing of Jon Kenny. He graced our Main Stage many times, as part of the D'unbelievables with and also in John B. Keane's 'The Matchmaker'. Always a professional and most importantly a very friendly visitor. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

I thought I could stop asking this question, where are the women?
Great to get the Capital City Plan for launched. Dublin is a fantastic city but it can and it will do better. The Plan identifies ‘10 Big Moves’ to make Dublin a more thriving, attractive, and safe cityscape; and a more desirable location to live, work, do business and visit.
