Very sad day for us all in the @astiunion. I got many a bollocking (mostly deserved) from Miriam but always followed by a hug. She was always there for me with brilliant advice about union and indeed life. A true mentor and inspiration in every way, a powerhouse. RIP Miriam ✊🏼🥃
We are touched by the tributes coming in today following the passing of our President Miriam Duggan.
The clip below shows Miriam receiving a standing ovation at our Annual Convention last April.

Exit poll shows 82% of People Before Profit &Solidarity voters voted Yes. No surprise, Sol-PBP have always & publicly campaigned for choice & repeal and all of our members & party have been out canvassing day and night throughout this campaign #RepealEDthe8th@rtepolitics
This morning we will wake up in a different & better Ireland, leaving behind decades of repression & shame, looking forward to a society based on equality and respect.People power and activism forced this change on a reluctant establishment #repealthe8th#together4Yes
My heart is full to the brim and overflowing with pride and relief, for women, for men, for Ireland. We have done ourselves proud. Thank you, thank you. #Together4Yes
We’ve made history! This if confirmed is an absolutely fantastic result and is a credit to all the hard work that was done by the thousands of activists young and old, in every constituency. #repealthe8th is no longer a dream but a fact! @pb4p @TaraFlynn @roisiningle https://t.co/7i8AeXaVrc
YES! They’ve had their time - THIS IS OUR TIME! Youth and gender quake waves goodbye to Ireland of the past, Tuam, the mother and baby homes. Grassroots movement wins repeal. Now for an Ireland where we fight for REAL equality #repealthe8th#dubw#8thRef
