Thank you everyone on the lovely messages you all sent about Bobby. He had a great life .

Research is so important for cancer, well done and thanks to all the researchers involved

Shane Rothwell, from Blanchardstown, Co Dublin, contacted several hotels across Ireland in an attempt to book a one‑night break. Not one could provide a ceiling hoist, which he needs to transfer safely from his wheelchair to a bed. Mr Rothwell, who has cerebral palsy, told the Irish Independent: “I was surprised. I knew it was bad but I didn’t think it was this bad. A €200 stay becomes €1,000 when I have to hire a hoist and pay two support workers.” The disability activist said the process was “mentally challenging”, adding: “I felt there’s no place for people living with disabilities in this world. Why do we have to go an extra mile when trying to book a hotel? “I need to book a hoist and if I’m ­using a manual hoist, I need two support workers, which I have to pay for.” After compiling a list of hotels ­unable to provide hoists, he proceeded to contact several taxi companies and, across different dates, couldn’t secure a wheelchair‑accessible taxi. Ireland is “behind” in “terms of development”, Mr Rothwell said. “I want to start seeing changes and the Government to be more invested in accessibility,” he added. As things stand, we’re not treated equally If disability access and inclusion were prioritised, he said, disabled people would feel “needed and included in society”. Equality ‘on paper’ means little without real access #DisabilityRights #Equality independent.ie/irish-news/wh…

Just now… thanks

This is a devastating, disturbing read, the poor little boy, how anyone can be so cruel is incomprehensible, they should never be allowed out, pure evil

It’s so positive that this now the conversation, thank you to everyone involved in the development of TDXd

Happy 5th birthday Misneach! Lá breithe shona duit! 🐾

In shock and in tears, two children cry and bleed after an artillery strike that killed their mother. No location or side confirmed — a heartbreaking glimpse of Sudan’s war on civilians. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Today, we launch #CancerNeedsTrials. Cancer trials give patients access to tomorrow’s treatments today — but in Ireland, access is limited and funding is a barrier. We’re calling on the government to invest so more patients can benefit. Add your voice: bit.ly/4nos5iL #CancerNeedsTrials #CancerTrialsIreland

“I believe that the European Union will find it extraordinary difficult to ever be a union in any sense again when some of its strongest members are deciding to stay silent in watching emaciated children in what is a human, man-made, really atrocious infliction on people.”

“If you criticize Netanyahu's policies, you are then described as being anti-Semitic. That is a disgrace and a slander...” —🇮🇪 President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins

“It is a man made famine and it is an unfolding genocide….an extremist government led by a bad Prime Minister, Netanyahu who doesn’t want to make peace” “Others are complicit and aren’t doing enough” Former Irish President Mary Robinson speaking on Friday, on Late Late show

Today our campaign landed in Bray at the constituency office of Tánaiste Simon Harris. It is a great, great shame that we are here calling for basic dignity, respect and equality for our school secretaries & school caretakers ! PENSION PARITY NOW !!

So true, we will never find a love like it again 🥰🌹

At this point we would ask all political parties to back our campaign to get #JusticForHarvey. Including seeing the resignation of @SimonHarrisTD The board of @CHI_Ireland to be disbanded, and for there to be a full public inquiry in to Children’s health Ireland spina bifida and complex orthopaedic care. These kids have been failed long enough and we need to see true systemic change brought in. #ResignHarris Please feel free to share and tag any politicians and political parties not already tagged below and put the pressure on @SocialistParty @sinnfeinireland @pb4p @SocDems @fiannafailparty @finegael @AontuIE @labour @greenparty_ie @catherinegalway @PresidentIRL @paulmurphy_TD @RuthCoppingerSP @MaryLouMcDonald @davidcullinane @MarkWardSF @GaryGannonTD @EmerHigginsTD @MichealMartinTD @HollyCairnsTD @ivanabacik @DuncanSmithTD @CarrollJennifer @1Hildegarde

Tanaiste @SimonHarrisTD needs to meet with Stephen and Gillian Skerret and he really needs to review and reflect. A child died and his family deserve answer and repercussions should be felt for Government. This cannot be allowed happen again.
