Cabinet have directed my #Disability (Personalised Budgets) Bill be delayed by 18 months until Christmas Day 2026 -This Bill would transform lives of #Disabled & Older Citizens needing care support giving Autonomy & Dignity -Govt ideologically opposed to #Disabled Rights #Scrooge

99% of unpaid #Carers in Ireland are women & girls -There is a conservative post-colonial (shame-based) ideology in our Cabinet -In Finance & Public Exp -that sees care for #Disabled & older citizens as primary responsibility of women & family -Support my oireachtas.ie/en/bills/bill/…

This day 3 years ago I stopped breathing in ICU and had to be resuscitated. My oxygen dropped to 50% 🫠🫠 this is what anorexia can do, and why we need proper services.

#Minions #DespicableMe4 #Cru #JackAndJillFamilyDay 💛 Oh what a fun day as always. Our 20th The Jack and Jill Children's Foundation Family fun day ever! Do the math!! Jack is 20 at the end of the month! His first family day, he was still a resident of CHI at Crumlin but he got to skip out for the day! 🩵

Jack is going into hospital tomorrow for some investigations next week. He has had 6 trips to ED since NYE. So let’s hope we get some results & a plan of action after this. It’s a very tricky time as Jack is mid transition from Paeds to Adult hospital. It’s v concerning! 😤💔
