We spoke to the TheJournal.ie yesterday about today's Oireachtas hearing. A parent of a teenager living with #LongCovid was also interviewed.
Thank you to the Journal for covering this issue.

We desperately need folks like Jon Stewart John Oliver to cover the scandalous history & present of #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis & #LongCovid . Misinformation is the norm; it falls on us patients to educate doctors, family, friends. Good media coverage can change this.

The health system is letting down young people with #LongCovid all over the country. Read this young person's account of their experience of 4 years with #LongCovid on #LongCovid AwarenessDay #LongCOVIDAD24

The Tory attack on benefits is performative cruelty. It won’t boost employment or even make big savings. But it will hurt the right people.
