Manuelle Ratte

Like many others I was very shocked and saddened today to hear of the sudden passing of our dear friend and comrade John Molyneux…I have only known John since 2016 when I joined PBP but he has made a big impact in my political & social life.  He and Mary took me under their wings when I moved to Drimnagh and he became like a father figure to me.  He had great knowledge and was a wonderful activist, socialist and passionate about climate change.  This pic was actually taken at one of our many marches for Climate and is my favourite of John…My last fond memory of him is at last Thursday’s United Against Racism Rally and at the pub afterwards when him & his good friend Patsy Moran were talking about their good old days to young members who were fascinated by their stories…Our Branch meetings & stalls in Dublin 12 will never be the same without you John and we’ll miss you terribly.  Even after reading all the beautiful tributes I still can’t believe you’re gone… May you Rest in Power John!
