Is now a good time to suggest that we get rid of prizes for children who come to school every day because they happen to have the best immune system in the class or because they were sent in even when they weren’t well? We can’t be encouraging that come Sept.

They count HAP as social housing. HAP means the state pays landlords for their privately rented properties instead of building social & affordable homes. In 2019, the state will pay €423m to landlords. How many homes could be built with that? That is ideology.

I am so tired of stereotypes. Autism doesn’t mean someone can’t feel. If anything my boy feels too much, all of the time which is why he can get overwhelmed by this world. My boy feels love & gives the BEST hugs but when he chooses & he’s really funny. I have no words over this

The level of abuse this mum has been shown is absolutely disgusting. It is easier to blame her than realise that the system won’t look after you in your darkest hour. I have news. It won’t look after you whether you have zero, one, two or ten kids. Blame those in charge, not her.

Main points are:
-Less than 1/3 of overpays were suspected fraud.
-40% were ‘customer error’.
-15% of all overpays were the fault of the Dept not the recipient.
-average overpayment was just €1,500.
Now imagine they went after white collar crime with the same vigour?

Just so we’re very clear, this was a
@SocDems
bill which your last gov tried to block at every turn. We want paid leave too but only Gov can introduce bills that incur a cost to the state. Perhaps implement paid leave & take the credit for that? I’d be the 1st to congratulate you
It’s been a trying year for parents of young children. We’ve increased the amount of unpaid parental leave by a month and it comes into effect today. This means parents can take up to 26 weeks this year. This will hopefully help give a bit more flexibility

A huge reason why people voted Yes was because of the worry about taking the abortion pills without medical supervision. A €300 charge will restrict access to many women & girls who will continue to buy pills, cheaper online. This needs to be free, safe & legal.
#RepealedThe8th
It's important that cost does not become a barrier to abortion access after repeal. We call for FREE safe and legal abortion becuase that means access for everyone who needs it

Politicians have a responsibility to get facts right. It is impossible to obtain a Down syndrome diagnosis before 12 wks. Harmony pre-natal testing is only available privately, is v. expensive & can only take place at 10 wks & takes about 2 wks to get results.

Attitudes like this allows the ‘cute hoor’ culture in politics to continue. Did Ahern do some great things around GFA? Absolutely. But the man was also responsible for crashing the country. Mahon found that he accepted bribes. Too many of us still suffering the consequences today

Like a lot of woman, I felt physically sick when news began circulating yesterday that another woman had been murdered in her own home & footage of what happened was circulating on socials. If this isn’t a watermark on so many levels I don’t know what will

We have lots of problems in this country but immigration ain’t one. Can we please talk about how public money is mismanaged & frequently wasted, why we have 100k houses lying empty, why kids with ASD can’t find a school, why 80 yr olds are waiting in hospital corridors for days?
Aontú’s manifesto around immigration really worries me, so I wrote this today.

My two are really enjoying
#RTEHomeSchool
on RTÉ2 today. They have learned about referendums and the Constitution, maps and how planes fly! Well done to everyone involved in getting this up and running. Must have been a huge effort. 👏👏👏

What we need is to provide decent, affordable & flexible childcare options and legal protection & cultural acceptance by employers & society more generally towards parents so that they don’t feel that they have no choice but to send them in.

This is deeply distressing. I have called for an investigation to find out what happened, who is responsible, whether they will be held accountable for their actions & what if anything we can do to make the current situation better. You have my full support & of my colleagues too
Heartbroken to find tallaghts wetlands completely destroyed today. This was a vibrant multilayered ecosystem, home to protected Newts, Frogs, Bats & critically endangered European eels.
@sdublincoco
assured us this area & inhabitants would be protected. Environmental vandalism.

This is deeply worrying. Zero covid does not mean a permanent lockdown & they damn well know it. They’re spinning it (misrepresenting) to drive public opinion to their side. This is deeply worrying but absolutely on form and for me, sums up exactly who FF/FG are. #

No one I’ve spoken to on the doors thinks this is ‘exciting’. One man described it as modern day tenements social engineering with the added kick that you’re now an avocado loving snowflake if you think it’s unacceptable.

Week 1 after surgery & Covid has made its way into our house. Everyone except me has a cough, high temp, stuffy nose, body aches & fatigue. My daughter has a horrible pain in her chest & my son is hoarse. Assume they’re all + but only 1 result back so far. It’s far from mild.

Want to pay a special tribute to this crew. We’ve had some dark days & been through so much yet we had each other’s backs throughout. For the first time in a very long time I have hope. Whatever happens, change is inevitable & our kids futures are brighter.

It’s been a week since we lost our best girl Poppy. It’s been really difficult, we are all heartbroken. I want to pay special tribute to the
@IrishBlueCross
who helped us mind her over the past few yrs during times when we had barely a penny spare. Please support them if you can.

€153 pw difference & all because women were forced to stop working once married & women were (and still are) expected to be the main caregiver. We give so much throughout our lifetimes but still get very little back, particularly in old age.
