We’re all devastated by the death of our much loved photographer, colleague and friend Mick O’Neill. He died in an RTA yesterday in Dublin. Mick was the snapper’s snapper. There was nobody who came close to him. He travelled all over Ireland and the world doing a job he loved and excelled at, one which came naturally to him. I have never seen any media professional as gifted as Mick at talking to people, at making them feel at ease in the most stressful of situations, at connecting with them, essentially. He made the job of the reporter working with him easy. He had it all. And he was great, superb, company. God, he was amazing. Rest easy, friend.

My video shots over a 10 minute period at the junction of Fairview and Fairview Avenue Lower in Dublin show it’s becoming very dangerous for cyclists.It’s a blind spot for drivers,needs some modifications before someone is seriously injured or worse..
