Huge congratulations to our former committee member Claire Tighe on receiving the Freedom of the City of London!
It is a richly deserved recognition of her tireless work for the Irish community and strengthening British–Irish relations.
We're so proud of you, Claire! 💚

So incredibly sad about Cllr Pat Karney’s passing. Pat was an icon, a legend, a special politician over decades in Manchester. He was the face and the voice of our city during our happy times and our sad times. Known for his famous Christmas and Manchester celebrations, he was also a great campaigner and never forgot his roots in working class Manchester. He was a true friend to me and to a generation of others. Pat was a total one-off who will be greatly missed and very fondly remembered for years to come. RIP.
I also introduced him to Twitter as it was then - a platform he really enjoyed.
BREAKING: Manchester legend Pat Karney dies aged 78

Pat Karney was born in Dublin before moving to Manchester aged 9. He was a Labour cllr for decades and dedicated member of @labourirish.
He never forgot his Irish roots as a leading figure in Manchester’s proud Irish community.
Our thoughts are with all his friends and family.

There is no justification for the acts of violence and arson that we saw in Belfast last night. It is completely unacceptable.
I urge for calm. We must let the police get on with their work.
🌞 A sunny evening in Ealing for the local elections!🌹
Paul, Ian and Sinéad are out in Northfields being fantastic advocates for their community -- full of energy and heart.
Huge thanks to Ealing Southall MP @deirdrecostigan and all our members for another energetic canvass.
