💔 Slán le mo chara Mickey Brady. We have lost one of the very best. A lifelong Republican activist, a champion of people and community, a dedicated public representative as an MLA and MP, utterly committed to his home place of Newry and Armagh. He was believer in a better future, a United Ireland and an equal society. Most of all, Mickey Brady was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Today our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Caroline, his family and all those who loved him. Mickey will be greatly missed but remembered every day. His legacy will endure in the lives he touched, in the communities he strengthened, and in the better, fairer Ireland he worked for every day of his life. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

💔 We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of our dear friend and comrade Mickey Brady. A lifelong republican activist who dedicated himself to the people of Newry and Armagh and to the freedom of our country. Mickey believed so fully in the promise of a United Ireland and a better future. He was devoted to his family, a champion of his community who fought the corner of ordinary people every day. Serving as both a Sinn Féin MLA and later MP, Mickey never gave up the fight for equality, justice and a better Ireland for all. His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of all those who knew him and of the thousands of people he so generously and courageously helped along his way. A working class hero from the streets of Newry, Mickey will be sorely missed but remembered every day. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

It is with deep sadness that we have learned of the death of our dear friend, Mickey Brady. Mickey was a lifelong champion for the people of Newry and Armagh, dedicating more than five decades of his life to community and political activism. He had a deep-rooted passion for his community and its people, whether through his work in welfare advice or during his time as a Sinn Féin MLA and MP for the area. His door was always open to people right across the community, and he gave his time generously to everyone who sought his help. He loved the people of Newry and Armagh, and they loved him in return. As an Irish Republican, involved from as far back as the civil rights movement, Mickey spoke with great pride when reflecting on the strides made to ensure fairness for his community and towards national unification. I will always remember Mickey for his sharp wit and endless stories. He had a rare ability to lift spirits and bring smiles wherever he went. He was a gentleman and a deeply insightful, knowledgeable, and committed political activist. My thoughts are with his wife Caroline, daughter Saoirse, and sons Michael, Sean and Niall, stepchildren, and wider family. A family has lost a deeply devoted father and grandfather. Newry, and Sinn Féin, has lost a giant of the community. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Was lucky to have Mickey Brady as a colleague & even luckier to have him as a friend. To walk round Newry with him was to be in the company of a true people’s champion. He wouldn’t pass people without a good word. As John Lennon said, “A working class hero is something to be.” 💚

@dlLambo The true foolishness of this, I’m sure you recognise, was in not noting that they’ve done it before, so of course they’ll do it again…

I foolishly believed as a masters student in int conflict in 2011, as I did a legal thesis on the illegal destruction of Libya based on manufactured consent, that good people would remember it & never allow it happen it again And here we are, EU leaders and a media bloodthirsty

There's lots of coverage on the impact of #Mercosur on farmers but very little on the environmental and human rights impact of the deal. Im resharing an article I wrote for @eolasmagazine outlining my concerns on the deal and why it needs to be stopped. eolasmagazine.ie/lynn-boylan-me…

Mercosur could and should have been stopped. The Irish government has failed in its duty and abandoned our communities. This deal is disastrous for Irish farming, food safety and our environment. The fight is not over. It must be stopped!

Huge crowd in Athlone today with one clear message: No to Mercosur! This disastrous trade deal could and should have been stopped. The Irish government has failed in its duty and abandoned Irish farmers and our communities. The fight back is on. We will not give up on what’s best for Ireland!
