Maybe, just maybe, if you are the kind of woman who threatens to cut funding to @NWCI , a women’s rights org, because you weren’t invited to speak at an event, that is the VERY reason you weren’t considered the right person to speak on women’s rights in the first instance!! 🤷‍♀️

I am fine, his behaviour, while extreme, is nothing I can not manage. But I am struck by the impact even seeing this behaviour has had on other women I know. When you wonder why more women don’t get involved in politics, this is why.

Great to see such support for @sinnfeinireland Animal Welfare Bill as brought by @LNBDublin As providers face unprecedented pressure the practical steps in this Bill address both the longer & shorter term issues that drive this demand & will help support these vital services 🐕

As a former educator, @NUIG_OwenWard speaks of how Traveller children are in the classroom but are written out of the curriculum. An excellent discussion of the consequent impact this lack of visibility has on all, particularly Traveller children. #TravellerEthnicityDay2022

The disconnect between State recognition of Traveller ethnicity & leg which discriminates & criminalises a fundamental aspect of Traveller ethnicity ought to be staggering, yet it illustrates the States long history of merely symbolic engagement #TravellerEthnicityDay2022

Great day out in the doors in a Clara yesterday. People really tired of being gaslit by this Govt. Things aren’t getting better, in fact they are worse than ever! Emigration is higher than ever, house prices are soaring, and businesses are closing left right and centre.

What better way to mark the return of Leo Varadkar as Taoiseach than to watch Emmet Kirwan evaluate him.

I came to know the people who used an alley behind my old work place to inject. I soon realised the shame they felt in having no alternative but this dirty, grimy, public alley. But shame is ours for leaving people at their most vulnerable with no alternative. #SIFsSaveLives

People who inject publicly do so because they have no alternative. They have no shelter and nowhere to call home. We need to meet people where they're at and offer care and compassion. #SIFsSaveLives
