My sister got my hair done for me as a gift going through radiation. The treatment really impacts my skin and hair quality and she wants me to feel galánta (beautiful) regardless. It's the little thing's in life that keep me going. I'm so very blessed 🙌 (blonde's have more fun)

We've a taxi crisis in Dublin. I've been waiting since 11:30 stranded in town, and no taxi will take me because Drimnagh is "too close" (not enough money) I've done 35k steps today, I'm disabled I can't walk home. This is actually outrageous and the city centre is unsafe.

The use of the word "Prime Minster" in relation to Irish politics this week really bugs me. It's Taoiseach. Teachta Dála. Seanadóirí. Can we not anglicise the Oireachtas? I'm no Gaeilgeoir, but we must preserve commonly used terms as gaeilge as much as we can to promote gaeilge!

Three men I know have died by suicide between the end of November and now. And I say men loosely as one was still a child. One was a friend. One an ex partner. We have a mental health crisis. A suicide epidemic. If suicide is this high in one area of Dublin, imagine nationally.

He didn't die. He was murdered. I've had the fascists spitting vitriol in my own face. Murderous thugs. For not speaking English? Do you "Patriots" remember when the English forbade us from speaking as Gaeilge? Yanno before 10 million of us Irish became migrants!
Where do you go with these murdering thugs.
'You speak English, you are in Ireland, you are not at home, you have no respect for our country. This is Ireland...'

Plain and simple. Right now, I'm 26 living in my ma and da's gaff, and I'm actually grateful I have them. Because as a disabled person who spends every cent to my name on healthcare, I'd be homeless without them. And I'd be dead waiting for HSE treatment.

This is a bizarre choice of words. It's ableist for one. It's steeped in classism, dehumanising, and makes light of the intellect and ability of young people. We're not supporting SF as if we're riddled with disease. We support them because you've run our nation into the ground.

A former Tusla CPO, a supposed disability advocate...yet voted to lift a ban on evictions, that effect both children and disabled people 😏 Remember this at the ballot box 🗳 You don't represent Dublin South Central nor the disability community. You're part of the problem.
As a former Tusla child protection officer, I have seen first hand the difficulties people have to go through to access to disability services.
There needs to be a rapid upscaling in staffing and resourcing to improve access to these vital services.

Someone said I look like a cheap hooker in my election photos 🙃 I haven't been a political candidate a wet day, and they're already at it. The level of abuse and misogyny women in politics receive, particularly successful and high-profile politicians, is staggering.
Incredibly disappointing outcome. Sets a negative precedent & creates a chilling effect for other women who would consider reporting defamation and abuse. Solidarity to Michelle O'Neill & the many women in politics forced to face such dehumanising & misogynistic behaviour.

I've heard more from Dana Erlich over the past month in the media than Dr. Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid. You'd swear it was the Israelis who are being ethnically cleansed. Why give the Israeli ambassador more of a platform than the Palestinian? I can answer that question myself.
The Israeli Ambassador in Dublin has said she does not believe Ireland is politically neutral in respect of the Israel-Hamas conflict

I've to carry a "please offer me a seat" card because I don't look sick, and nobody believes me when I need to sit downstairs. I cannot drive due to my disability. So while we push the use of public transport, we need to remember for many PWD it's our only mode of transport.

Delighted you called this out. Just been elected MEP. There's thousands of things interesting and special about Lynn and all women. Our physical appearance doesn't isn't one of them.
Nobodys is discussing male MEP's appearances. Misogyny, alive and well! Go celebrate a chara👏

Christy is so loved, by Dubs and the nation ❤️
I'm sending so much healing and peace his way and to his family. He is an icon. Anyone who's had the privilege of meeting him knows how special he is. A fighter 💪 ❤️
The family of Christy Dignam have issued a statement announcing that the singer is under palliative care at his home.
The statement reads: "Since December, Christy has been at home and is being cared for lovingly by family, with the support of a palliative care team."

The band member LUNGED across the street at him, & the bandmates were only happy to jump in, yet you're calling the fella with the dog the provocateur? I have nothing against organised parades and marches. But you don't start on someone for crossing the street then play victim.

I wasn't born disabled. Becoming disabled HUMBLED me. I do not know how any disabled people are coping during this COL crisis. My medical expenses for January alone were over €600 . I'm not only down a career due to illness but an income too.
Many disabled people already lived in a cost of living crisis, even before the current inflation spiral. We are asking that this be factored into the forthcoming
#CostOfLiving
package from government.

I wasn't born disabled. I got sick in my 20s. I can tell you now the financial burden of being disabled is sickening. Your money isn't your own. It all goes on your health, often having to cut corners to make it work. Disabled people are suffering in this crisis.
If you wondered why a disability rights based campaign had to get involved in a
#CostOfLivingCrises
campaign well here’s why.
The state is now targeting people on disability payments, €230pw, to address an issue that stems from the abject poverty that PWD and their families

Ableism is alive and well in Ireland. I wouldn't expect JK to be educated on people with complex illnesses/disabilities but remember when you post shit like that people see it. Friends and family fighting battles you'll never know see it. And know exactly what you think of them.
The coach is now giving free classes in punching down.

Two people I am proud to know. I am proud to get to work with and campaign with. Rooted, relevant, and Republican voices for the working class. Maith Sibh 👏👍Aengus and Daithí have done phenomenal work for our area. I will always attest to that.
Proud to call

my colleague & good friend. The abuse & threats Aengus faced yesterday was wrong, unacceptable & should be roundly condemned by all. Those who hide behind cameras & keyboards won't deter or distract

So you ask me why I'm political? I've a long list. I never knew politics was this ugly. Truthfully, I thought most politicians just don't care. It's worse than that. I lost 2 people I adored due to lack of healthcare in Ireland 4 months apart while battling illness myself.

And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell. " 🖤
Shane MacGowan, you joined the greats. Now, have a singsong with Sinéad O'connor and Christy Dignam up above. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Yesterday I attended a beautiful requiem mass for a 17 year old boy, a person I love dearly grandson who died by suicide. I spent last night panicking, making phone calls, texting, trying to locate another friend in crisis who sent me a goodbye message. She doesn't want to live.

My dad raised me to be a strong Republican woman. He always allowed me to be myself and encouraged me to be a trailblazer from the time I was old enough to talk. He let me figure my own way out in this world, even when I caused him sleepless nights. Dad believes in me always.

This photo perfectly encapsulates me departing Béal Feirste after long weekends burning the candle at both ends.
You can visibly see my tiredness, exhaustion, and contentment 😌
It is a pleasure to spend time with those I love in a place that holds a special place in my heart

Excuse me? BREED more? As if we are cattle. Never mind these candidates wanting to ban contraception and abortion, I won't need either in their "new Ireland" as men like this push me to a life of abstinence and celibacy!
