Devastating news.

John had an immense influence on me and so many others in our movement. His deep knowledge and understanding of the world was matched only by the kindness and generosity he showed to those around him. He embodied the spirit of liberatory politics and devoted his life to building organisations and movements in that spirit, teaching many of us along the way.

As an activist, a mentor, a comrade and a friend to many on the Left in Ireland, Britain and around the world, he will be badly missed. In fact, it’s hard to imagine political life in Dublin without John. The politics he held and fought for all his life will live on through all of us.

Sincerest condolences to Mary, John’s family and to all his loved ones.

Rest in peace John Molyneux.
