The movement for a better world without wars has lost a tower of strength, energy, commitment, intellect, inspiration and dedication. Here we are together in August 2014 outside Buswell’s Hotel at the launch of our Irish Anti War Movement booklet on World War 1 which John edited, a project he took on board with little fuss. His last political meeting yesterday was his attendance at our AGM in the Teacher’s Club, Dublin at which he was his usual perceptive and tenacious self. We shared a drink after and I wished him safe home. Sadly he did not make it. he will be sorely missed. My sympathy goes out to his partner Mary Smith, his family, friends and comrades. Rest in Power John Molyneux.
