At 3.20am on October 12th Richard left this world. He left this life quietly and with dignity with the comfort of my arms around him. In many ways a beautiful death, a precious gift. Everyone deserves to die with dignity #RIPRichard #alwaysmissed

- I think people think they’re not brave if they’re frightened and that’s not true at all’ Sinéad O’Connor A fierce and fragile soul, celebrated for being an artist and vilified for being an activist. But they were one and the same woman Not many had her courage. #sineadoconnorrip

- “We should all be feminists. A feminist is a person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes. A feminist is a man or woman who says ‘Yes, there’s a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it and we must do better President Higgins #iwd
- Such determination and courage from @PhelanVicky talking about such enormous issues shes facing, moving to the US for six months, discussing end of life issues with her daughter and still such capacity to help others - she’s heroic #cblive
