Wonderful representation on BBC Countryfile tonight. This is inclusion at work. Showing people that your disability doesn’t have to hold you back is so very important. Given the chance and with the ability to adapt our chairs even we can be farmers, sheep farmers at that!!!!

From parklets to sandpits... all this "outside the box" style of thinking with former 🅿️spaces yet pedestrian accessibility for ♿users never seems to be considered. #Ableism

On 18th September Simon Harris TD promised to meet with myself and Stephen to discuss Harvey’s lack of care. 10 months on and that meeting never happened, and now Harvey is gone. On the day we were celebrating Harvey’s short life and saying our final goodbyes, he was posting

Just thought it would also interest (and anger) people to know that bar Harvey’s orthopaedic surgeon, nobody in Children's Health Ireland temple street has even bothered to pick up the phone to offer condolences. The same people that have been in charge of Harvey’s care for the last 9.5 years

The courage of Harvey compared to the spineless cowardice of them all. Afraid to mention Harvey’s name. They can run but they can’t hide. Gill and Stephen will ensure that there will be #JusticeForHarvey #ResignHarris

‘Lashing out’ is far from what we are doing. What we are doing is advocating, being activists and fighting for what is right. We will never see true #JusticeForHarvey as Harvey never should have died and that will *always* be unjust. However there are hundreds, maybe thousands of

There have to be consequences. “by the end of this year (2017) no child will wait longer for a scoliosis procedure than 4 months”. - Simon Harris Listen to Harvey's Dad Stephen Morrison on our health system that failed his son. May he rest in peace. #JusticeForHarvey

I'm having a bit of difficulty getting in touch with Nigerian disability organisations for a story I'm working on. Posting this here is a bit of a long shot, given that my network here is mostly Irish, but I'm hoping somebody will know somebody etc etc. #journorequest

In the context of Dire & Tragic situation endured by #Disabled Irish children #Carers & families -This is a tone deaf & offensive propaganda reel from an openly #Ableist Government The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs OrthoKidsIreland Infuriatingly offensive & wildly out of step with lived experience
