Irish filmmaker George Morrison dies aged 102 as President Michael D Higgins lead tributes for ‘iconic figure'

'He will rightly be remembered in particular as a great innovator' IRISH filmmaker George Morrison passed away aged 102 yesterday. The director was best known for his documentary Mise Eire, which was produced by Gael Linn and composed by Sean O Riada. 2 George Morrison has passed away Credit: Aosdána 2 Michael D Higgins has paid tribute to Morrison The film was premiered in 1959 at the Cork Film Festival and it was the first full length feature film ever produced in the Irish language. It dealt with key figures and events in Irish nationalism between Ireland's most turbulent periods, culminating in the 1916 Rising and Sinn Féin's electoral victory in 1918. The title itself was taken from a 1912 poem by Republican revolutionary Patrick Pearse. Morrison was born in Tramore, Waterford, in 1922 and his mum was an actress at the Gate Theatre in Dublin while his father worked as an anaesthetist. He followed in his parents footsteps and enrolled in Trinity College to study medicine before leaving university to pursue his career in the creative arts. The Wexford native started working on documentaries with the Gate Theatre film ventures as an assistant director and editor. Morrison was a member of Aosdana and was awarded the Industry Lifetime Contribution Award at the Irish Film and Television Awards in 2009. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Janet Morrison, who died in 2019, and his first wife Theodora Fitzgibbon, who passed in 1991. Morrison was elected a Saoi of Aosdana in 2017 and was bestowed with the symbol of the office of Saoi, the gold torc, by President Michael D Higgins. Higgins paid tribute to Morrison today after hearing about his death and called him an "iconic and foundational figure in Irish filmography". Shock as beloved RTE star dies aged 63 after brief illness & tributes pour in He said: "A filmmaker of immense craft and skill, he will rightly be remembered in particular as a great innovator in the techniques of film, using new and pioneering camera work while realising how film and music could be brought together in a way that is distinctive. "I had the honour of bestowing the honour of Saoi of Aosdána on George Morrisson in 2017 and have also had the pleasure of meeting with him on many other occasions over the years, including when we marked his 100th birthday in Aras an Uachtarain in 2023. STAR TRIBUTES "On behalf of Sabina and myself, may I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends and all those who have been so inspired by his work over the decades." Last year, Sinn Fein TD in Waterford Conor D McGuinness organised an event to honour Morrison. McGuinness also paid tribute to Morrison saying: "It's for Mise Eire and Saoirse he will mostly be remembered, but he produced many great works during his lifetime. "I was happy to nominate him last year for a civil honour from Waterford County and City Council. "Go dtuga Dia solas da mhuintir agus go raibh leaba i measc na naomh aige." After Mise Eire, Morrison made a follow-up documentary called Saoirse which analysed the still-divisive Civil War. He released a documentary on James Joyce's Ulysses in 2007, which was titled Dublin Day. And Morrison was the subject of a documentary called Waiting for the Light in 2008.

Oasis Croke Park: Setlist, stage times, support, parking and venue map

The long wait is nearly over. Next weekend, on Saturday, August 16 and Sunday, August 17, Oasis will bring their reunion tour to Croke Park for two sold-out shows that are among the most anticipated in Ireland in many a year. After putting an end to one of the most infamous, bitter and long-lasting feuds in music, the Gallagher brothers are back in tandem and in the midst of a Live '25 reunion tour that will see them visit 13 countries before wrapping up in Sao Paolo at the end of November. While Liam and Noel have played Ireland plenty of times in recent years, Oasis as a band haven't performed to an Irish audience since 80,000 people saw them in Slane Castle way back in 2009. Oasis perform on stage during the opening night of their Live 25' Tour at Principality Stadium on July 4, 2025 in Cardiff, Wales Unsurprisingly, tickets sold out quickly when they went on release last year amid no shortage of controversy, with fans forking out huge sums due to Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model, which was the subject of national debate and significant criticism from government representatives. That controversy will likely be far from the minds of the 165,000 or so Oasis fans expected to pack into GAA headquarters next weekend for two shows that, if reports from the band's reunion shows so far are anything to go by, look set to live up to and even exceed expectations. Below is everything you need to know to make the most of the experience - from the expected setlist and stage times, to practical information on parking, the site layout and more. Stage times Gates 5pm. Show starts at 6pm. Based on the band's shows on the 'Live 25 tour to date, this is what fans should expect. 6pm: Cast 7pm: Richard Ashcroft 8.15pm: Oasis 10.15pm: Show ends Parking Car parking is limited around Croke Park as the roads around the stadium are residential roads and restrictions are in place on days that concerts take place. Coldplay fans queue outside Croke Park ahead of the band's gig last summer People attending the shows are asked to be considerate of residents and should not park in residential areas. Roads surrounding the stadium are monitored during matches and events and any car parked illegally will be clamped or removed, while the issuing of on-the-spot parking fines is in operation on local streets during stadium events.

Champagne Supernova Tickets Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went on sale last year. However, there are still options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot, although any tickets that are available tend to be snapped up very quickly. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats.

Meanwhile, Seat Unique has some VIP tickets available offering a host of additional perks alongside access to the gig.
