Today I represented the Green Party at the National Campaign for the Arts General Election Hustings in the Gate Theatre Dublin.
It was great to see support from all parties present to continue the Basic Income for the Arts which I fought so hard to introduce.
I am deeply saddened by the death of Gabriel Doherty. A renowned historian, he made an invaluable contribution to our commemoration of the period leading to the foundation of the State and the tragic events of the Civil War. My sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues.
The death has taken place in Cork of renowned historian and broadcaster Gabriel Doherty
