    Heard Jimmy's story, his family and friends on radio today. He sacrificed his life trying to save the life of a distressed 21 year old lad. It's just heartbreaking. It shows how much we neglect the people in our society that really need our help, love and support. No point running a multi-billion euro surplus if the important tenets of our humanity are ignored. Very well done Paul for highlighting his story, I'm sure it will be a bit of comfort for his family. Next time you disdainfully ignore a person like Jimmy on the street, just remember this legend, this fantastic brave human being, this gentle soul, and think again. He's a huge loss to our society.

    I heard the sad news about Jimmy today, Monday 24/04/‘23 on the Joe Duffy Rte radio show. I think Jimmy may have shared some friendly conversation with my late mother every Saturday evening outside M&S, Grafton St. I met him with my mother once and he had a sleeping bag draped over his shoulders. I’d say that he was about 5’10” of slim build. My mother told me that he was very nice and she liked to meet him. The year was about 2015. If this sounds like Jimmy, I’d like to think they’ll meet again in better circumstances in an afterlife. My condolences to Jimmy’s family and friends and to those of the man whose life Jimmy so valiantly tried to save.

    Maybe move out of Dublin, houses in the west of Ireland are cheaper and maybe a better chance of getting a place outside of Dublin and away from the temptations of the drugs and away from others doing drugs, people don’t have to stay in Dublin to get their methadone they can get it of the GP’s. Very best of luck to you and thank you Pauly for highlighting life’s challenges and reality’s, life is not a bed of roses for everyone, life should be fair and we should all be able to enjoy life and not just sit on the sidelines and watch others live. Best of luck to you all 🙏🙏🙏

Just made some bad choices. Wondered why I hadn't seen him again in months. Just read the sad news today of him being awarded a posthumous award. RIP Jimmy. Your act of bravery will be rewarded in the hereafter.

    It's great to show people that homeless people, drug addicts, have the same hopes and dreams as us all, the stigma around drugs is shocking considering the countries live affair with a dangerous socially acceptable DRUG alcohol !! IV watched people drink themselves to death from addiction to alcohol. Long time heroin users should be supplied with heroin instead of methadone, how come we can find 800K for Ukraine pets, instead of using it to hell people like Jimmy... RIP I din't know you but you spoke so eloquently and honestly about your situation and you still had dreams to fulfill. Condolences to family and friends

Like how the homeless man I gave a ride started smoking crack inside the car or the one I was friends with who would help prepare dinner and sing Broadway show tunes. He paid me back with his artwork. This was 34 years ago. He lived 25 years this way. A cool, complex sidewalk Buddha with schizophrenia. I remember holding him when he had a major breakdown one night and brought him home. Barry 1989 San Francisco. Barry La blanc , They've created a web page in his honor. Indeed legend ❤️
