This is disgusting right now. Bring in the army. This is sickening to watch. A long night ahead .
Praying for those poor little children tonight.

Min. Humphries engaged with @EpilepsyIreland over a long period on free travel for those of us who have to stop driving. This will improve the lives of so many and allow for more inclusive lives. Very grateful lots of people will benefit. #EpilepsyIreland #Freetravel

We are delighted to see @HHumphreysFG introducing measures to improve access to the Free Travel scheme as part of #Budget24 for those medically unfit to drive; something which has affected people with epilepsy for many years. Read more on our website.

As in Northern Ireland & Wales Ireland’s health budget has been shocked by inflation & rising demand. But waiting lists remain much lower south of the border. Via @IrishTimes

This ISL Awareness Week, we celebrate our Deaf community in Trinity and highlight the need for improved communication between the Irish Deaf and Hearing communities.
A special thank you to Lianne Quigley, Chair of the Irish Deaf Society, for teaching me some ISL!

Epilepsy should not hold you back from doing what you love. Talk to the safety officer and those around you and create a safe space - everywhere, anywhere @epilepsyireland

“Farming is collapsing in Britain right now because of Brexit”. Another industry on the brink. Still waiting on the upside of leaving a regional bloc where countries and citizens benefit from active collaboration and collective regulations, laws and trade.
A wonderful group of talented young women at the #roseoftralee Not sure about 2 presenters, don’t think it’s needed. Awkward changeovers, pace change - do we need 2 when 1 has managed for so many years!!!! #RTE
