Poor parking meant our Finglas fire engine was obstructed on the way to a call

🤔 Think.... Can the emergency services get by....

Well done to all involved 🙌

People power✊

if there was a plus to the pandemic it was that our disability community connected online and became stronger as a voice. The recent referendum showed public support.

We are fed up of being ignored, now let’s start the abolishing of the means test for carers💪🍀

Irish Independent Stephen Donnelly was briefed by advocates & is fully aware of the consequences of failure to deliver the brief which included a Co -Located Maternity.

What to do if you get into difficulty?

Last weeks rescue was a major relief that a young life was saved but also a reminder to all of how dangerous the sea can be.

If you get into difficulty, float to live as advised by our colleagues from RNLI RNLI Dun Laoghaire Lifeboat Station:

Inclusion Ireland is looking for parents to complete a 1-minute survey to inform us if school rules need to change so that we can shape our advocacy efforts. Thank you for your precious time to help us raise important issues for children. surveymonkey.com/r/SchoolRules

Despite promises made by Simon Harris TD in 2017 that no child would wait >4 months for #scoliosis treatment today in Ireland children are left to wait years to access #spinal care.

🚩 4000+ waiting on a 1st assessment

This is not safe care.

ronnie Thank you.

270 children waiting on a scoliosis surgery.

4,000+ waiting on a 1st assessment by an orthopaedic consultant.

Simon Harris TD made a promise to our children. He needs to make good on that promise now as leader of our country.

Children waiting years for care …

With this Government, it seems if you fail, you can fail to the very top.

Powerful contribution from Mary Lou McDonald as she sets out the record of Simon Harris -the man who brought down the last government, when Fianna Fáil had no confidence in him. The man who failed in this…

Too many people are collateral damage

The Leas Ceann Comhairle & one of our finest parliamentarians, Catherine Connolly won't be supporting Simon Harris today.

#TemporaryTaoiseach #Dáil

CM Haughey Solicitors Mary Lou McDonald There are over 4,000 children waiting on a 1st orthopaedic appointment in CHI Temple St & Crumlin.

This is a crisis for all children.

#Scoliosis spinal is usually 20% of all ortho.

Past days parents contacted to say child straight to surgery list as too long waiting.

👏💯
Perhaps those who remember Deputy Harris' term as Health Minister best are families of children with scoliosis, who were promised that they would not wait longer than 4 months for 'life-changing' surgery. A promise disgracefully broken. Again, and again -Mary Lou McDonald

Simon Harris TD time to make good on your promises to our children.

270 children waiting on a #scoliosis surgery in CHI & Cappagh.

Simon Harris TD please sign off on funded independent 2nd opinions for our children. Leo Varadkar said it would not be a problem but was never actioned.

This one simple ask would benefit children greatly.

It would empower parents to seek best care for their children.
