There's a teenage girl in the bed across from me crying for her Mam, who was allowed visit earlier, but was told to leave because she's not dilated enough. She's a child? Covid doesn't only occur outside of allocated times. Pointlessly cruel.

I will scream if I see one more attractive, slim, white woman in her knickers slumped over in an Instagram picture with a caption about, 'real bodies'. I am at the scream threshold, the scream edge, it rumbles in my throat for sweet release.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but baby and I took a turn and had to have an emergency section, 8 weeks early
The staff in the Rotunda were amazing, but it's been frightening and lonely. I haven't met my little girl. I'm stable. I hope to have a happier update soon. ❤️

My daughter is the only Irish child in her class at creche. Every one of her amazing carers is an immigrant, and has shown her endless love.
This really broke my heart yesterday. I truly hope we can make them feel safe again.

We are outraged that

This means that from September a single room in the campus Goldcrest student accommodation will be €750 a month.

If vaccinated medical staff are comfortable with a named partner at specific times, what risk does the same partner pose at any other times? Don't get me started on the total ban on hospital visits, but it's just so awful to see vulnerable people in such distress.

Something very ironic about the drastic rise in anti-Muslim sentiment in Ireland when these incredible women are the near-sole providers for our most vulnerable citizens.
We had to run into penneys & get clothes for a lady who was in a terrible situation after having been assaulted. One of our service users collapsed with chest pain today. We gave him first-aid until the ambulance arrived. It took the ambulance over 25 mins to get to the GPO.

Powers to enforce rules in private homes? Good there's no recent examples of harassment by Gardai forces so
Gardaí are to be given powers to enforce rules around social gatherings such as those in place for restaurants and bars, as well as gatherings in private homes which should not now be more than six people
