Mark Lusby RIP.
Cherished & shared Derry heritage with integrity. Lifted facts & faces from dim history to modern light.
Real belief in people, not just true pride in place.
Positive purposeful aspirations for civic/economic future, always fact-based in critiques & ideas.

Truly a SPECIAL Correspondent. Reported with rare rapport. Intensity of enquiry, enthusiastic communication & cut-through to comprehension.
And then more remarkable service to understanding & sharing when facing own illness yet still embracing other causes.
Charlie Bird RIP

Today, we remember Pat Hume on what would have been her 86th Birthday.

'Pat liked that her birthday came when the days are stretching and spring is showing. It was also an excuse for sharing great hugs!' [1/3]

Truly a sad loss to civil public discourse.
The colour, quality & salience of Michael's insights & inquiries brought light - & lightheartedness with it!
Honest charm, empathy, straight curiosity & natural acuity made him a sound reader of politics & a sharp writer.

Don't envy the 'First Day Briefing' experience for Caoimhe Archibald MLA or for other ministers.
They will not be underestimating respective & collective challenges. But none should not be overwhelmed by complexity.
From experience, Assembly all-party scrutiny can help them all.

SDLP MLA Matthew O'Toole has been nominated as Leader of the Opposition at Stormont.

John Hume was dedicated to improving the living and working standards of workers and supporting the objectives of the trade union movement. Today, on his 87th Birthday, he would be proud to be standing with the public sector workers.
