1. That’s the law and that’s a fact. RIP

2. ☝✌RIP

3. That’s awful, he’d looked and sounded very unwell in any recent videos he’d made.

4. Ah, this is incredibly sad. He certainly made a mark on bringing awareness of employment law to the masses, fair play to him.

5. Dreadful news, a real man of the people

6. That’s very sad. Thought he didn’t seem well lately.

7. Sad to hear it.

8. So sad. RIP

9. Terribly sad news. I knew he was ill but didn’t think it was serious. RIP.

10. Nooooooooo!!!

11. Ah fuck, that one hits hard, he was a sound lad. RIP

12. I greatly admired him for his work educating the public. There are known unknowns and unknown unknowns; if you don’t know the law you don’t realise you’re being exploited. And I believe that employment law has the widest relevance to everyday life – most of us work and I think most of us will have shitty bosses or experiences at work.

    RIP, he leaves an incredible legacy behind

13. Was he in poor health for a while? His voice sounded rough and he seemed in poor health in recent videos.

    Glad he got to pick up some awards this year at least. Top man

15. It’s a terrible shame – always in favour of workers knowing their rights, and being empowered. RIP

16. tragic, he will be missed

17. His no bullshit approach to reaching out to people was fantastic. RIP

18. Lovely man. Great info helping people, and good straightforward videos. He seemed to get sick quite suddenly. RIP.

19. RIP to a man that done more for Irish workers rights than anyone in years. I can only imagine countless peoples work life is better because of him.

    Anyone who hasn’t seen his videos could do a lot worse than spend an hour or two watching all of them. You’ll be surprised what you learn.

20. I liked him well, sad to hear he’s gone – fair play to him for helping people.

21. What a legend, and what a loss he is indeed. Thoughts are with the Grogan family. RIP.

22. RIP

23. Man that’s terrible. He was so great. He looked very unwell lately.

24. Now that’s sad news and that’s a fact.

25. A real peoples champion, he will be missed by all that know him and thousands that didn’t. That’s the law and that’s a fact. RIP

26. RIP Richard Grogan.

27. The one thing he said that stuck with me was that your holidays do NOT have to be taken between January and December. AFAIK it’s April to March, definitely not Jan-Dec, though.

28. That’s the law and that’s a fact. R.I.P 💔

29. He was doing amazing work and I’m deeply saddened to hear he’s gone. What a great loss for every working person out there.

    People are underinformed about their rights. It’s a topic that concerns everyone, yet it’s not accessible to most. He was not only popularising legal information in easily understandable terms, but also empowering people to stand up for themselves if their rights at work were being violated. It was such a powerful and necessary message. RIP

30. That’s a legend, and that’s a fact

31. Rip, lovely man

32. It’s sad when they go like that

33. Absolutely lovely man. His advice helped many young people navigate new workplaces, letting them now their rights and whether they were being taken advantage of. He’ll be missed

34. A great man, used the social media to its best, explaining the employment laws in simpler terms within a minute. Always kept it short and simple. RIP

35. Lovely man, had dodgy employers quaking in their boots. Very sad. That’s the law and that’s a fact

36. He was one of the guys that inspired me to take a law oriented course in college. Thats the law and thats a fact. R.I.P Richard

37. He was never intimidated by a potential drawn out litigation for a vulnerable client with no means of paying for it themselves, happy to bear the costs of the litigation to fight for what he believed in and for the rights of the workers.

    Rip
