The two women who returned from Dubai should have quarantined, however it’s strange how there addresses were publicised? What’s the purpose in full postal address stated. Also why so specific about the procedure they went for? We know nothing of the Davy 16 or the beacon 20?
Today on behalf of my company
@LifelineIreland
I wrote to the CEO of the HSE to offer my Companies full resources at cost to help his team battle the coronavirus. These are extraordinary times & demand extraordinary responses. This is our effort to try and help.
Some online commentary re my salary/fees from inner city helping homeless.I can confirm for 2019(appointed to board)it was €0,for 2020 it was €0,for 2021 it was €0. Expenses claimed for 2019 €0,for 2020 €0, for 2021 €0. The charity bought be 3 Americanos & 2 chicken rolls
This morning I collected a 4 year old guy and brought him to Crumlin for cancer treatment. Will be bringing him home later. Delighted to be backing up

No where else in the world do tractors, diggers and local people team up so fast with emergency services and clergy to support and help the community affected by this devastating incident in Donegal. This is Ireland !
Leo was with friends in the Phoenix park. He was not in a pub on the piss . He is living within 5km of where he was. This is not really news . He deserves & is entitled to time off and privacy .
It’s a really unsettling situation where a man is arrested , his name and photo widely circulated on social media. He is released & is not of interest now to the Gardai.
If you got your kids teacher a vaccine and they just happened to be doing your predictive grades would that be a conflict ? Asking for a deacon sorry a beacon 😀😎😎
Was told today that one of the ladies I transferred recently with Covid 19 had died. This is a photo taken for a photo Diary in Sunday Independant of me holding her hand during the journey a few weeks ago. RIP. Please adhere to all the guidelines.
I have dealt with many organisations in my lifetime . I have never experienced what I’ve experienced with
@eir
. It’s the most remarkable level of incompetence ever. Pathetic customer service . Had heard the stories but not witnessing! I will try again tomorrow
Remember it was not in a cardiac theatre, or cardiac surgeon or nurse specialist skills that saved
#ChristianErikson
. Nor was it an air ambulance or a GTI ambulance. It was the basic skills of good CPR & early defibrillation. Every school going person should be taught these
Highly disrespectful to share photos of any accident especially a fatal crash . Please refrain and delete. This has a big harmful impact on families . The crash on the M50 was very tragic please respect all involved
Some have louder voices that others when representing their membership. Teachers & Gardai powerful. What about retail staff who have kept us all fed and watered for the last year. Seems they have a low voice .
Ireland declared a National Emergency when banks got into trouble and the rule book went out the window as we pumped billions into them. Homelessness needs the same declaration now. This is an emergency .
First of the 9 ambulances has arrived at its hospital in Ukraine . What an effort . Master of the hospital in photo taking delivery with a surgeon who is the brother of one of the

I think it’s very wrong & disrespectful for government to be leaking key changes or non changes ahead of April 5th. They majority of us have played out part. Everyone has suffered some more than others. Tell us the plan
@MichealMartinTD
don’t drip feed it through the press
Important to remember Dr Emer Holohan RIP in her own right contributed much to the health service , public health and health strategy in Ireland . Thank you . May she rest in peace.
Minister
@CharlieFlanagan
who are these masked men being assisted by Gardai evicting protestors fell Frederick street property. I understand if High Court order breached but men arriving in an unmarked van in balaclavas who are NOT GARDAI??? This is very worrying .
Enjoying a coffee in a mug given to me by a five year old boy as a thank you for bringing him for weekly cancer treatment in Crumlin Hospital during the pandemic. His family has no car and during the pandemic it was important he not go on public transport .
@LifelineIreland
Delighted to confirm we
@icarehousing
bought 19 homes today through mortgage to rent . We have now bought 66 houses. Former owners now become Tennant’s of ours with their residual mortgage debt written off. We are helping prevent homelessness. Many thanks to our great team.
Last Wednesday my Uncle Jimmy was not feeling well. He was worried about going to hospital because of Covid 19.He did not go to hospital. He died the following day unrelated to Covid 19. Today we said goodbye RIP.Please please go to hospital or contact your GP if feeling unwell
One of my
@LifelineIreland
crews at shop in Leixlip village earlier. Man driving had cardiac arrest. They resuscitated him delivering three shocks from the defibrillator and he is now sitting up . Very proud boss. Happy new year to the patient.
I have run my private ambulance company
@LifelineIreland
for 21 years . That’s 189 bank holidays . Today was the busiest by 800% of any other bank holiday ever. Tomorrow the same .Covid is a clear danger on the health system . It’s essential public health advice is adhered to .
I asked genuine question Re details of the two women who came back from Dubai. A few experienced crime journalists explained practices very well. I’m very uncomfortable with the pile on against these two women. Horrible unsubstantiated things being said & assumed .Not on, I’m out
Why this special deal
@AIBIreland
? I’ve negotiated with you for ten years and you tortured everyone equally. Yes you have been reasonable generally. You favoured no one . Why this one ? DJ Carey secured 99.4% write-down of €9.5m AIB debt
One of the best interviews of this pandemic just now by
@ronan_glynn
on the six one news . Clear good advice . So important. Great leadership. Thank you
If ever we needed to see how messed up the justice system is we have seen many examples recently. This is outrageous . This Garda was doing his damn job Garda charged after three burglary gang members died in N7 crash is sent for jury trial
I hope this gentleman and his family and given citizenship without any delay if he has not gotten it already . This is the least we can do for him . Well done and thanks Caio.
I assisted with others in a resuscitation of a 47 year old man who went into cardiac arrest two weeks ago . Strangest feeeling today when he phoned me to thank me. Out of hospital and home with family! Great team work !
Thoughts with the family of the 3 month old baby girl who died following an attack by the family dog. Also thoughts with Paramedics & Gardai who came upon such a tragic scene. Also CUH hospital staff. Sometimes it’s forgotten the terrible scenes our frontline staff witness
The 2tons of field hospital supplies flown out to Poland via Ryanair & now being placed on a truck to be taken to Lviv in the Ukraine. A proud moment for all involved . An Irish health system which came together to support their Ukrainian colleagues
@medical_ukraine
I left Leinster House around 5.30 pm having met
@DarraghOBrienTD
. Walked into the protestors who mistook me for a TD. Thanks to the Gardai for their assistance . Their vile , threatening behaviour is reprehensible. They don’t even know me .
Essential all those involved in the tragedy in Tallaght last night are given full support . We take for granted first responders including Gardai & Ambulance staff in such situations & forget they are human. No one can just deal with this scene & situation.
just watched the entire
@rtenews
bulletin & not one member of government on day the largest numbers of Covid are announced, where many are really worried. Comments from
@CMOIreland
&
@President_MU
and no political leader . Unbelievable
Had planned a 50th birthday celebration for last week with 30 friends. Checked the rules and unless I had a priest renew wedding vows there was no way to have 30 people outdoors let alone 200 under the published rules at that time. Seems rules change to suit some!
We
@medical_ukraine
are preparing 9 frontline ambulances donated by the
@HSELive
for departure this evening to the Ukraine. Each ambulance is equipped as an ambulance and additional medical supplies are on board . 18 drivers will rotate to ensure safe delivery
What a bizarre situation when hospital staff who are not from Ireland fear going home in Dublin City tonight because a gang of thugs could turn on them . These riots will harm Dublin & its people . Thuggery . Our health system is held together by non Irish saints . Cop on
7400 families sold to a vulture fund by a bank we own 75% of and rescued and out Taoiseach
@campaignforleo
find out from a journalist . 21,000 citizens fed to vultures. Maybe he needs to get up earlier !
Ryanair Plane has just landed in Poland and 2ton of medical supplies being placed on a truck to head direct to Lviv Ukraine. Commentary , anger = action. Well done team . The first medical aid flight out of Ireland has landed successfully
@medical_ukraine
@LifelineIreland
Proud to confirm that we
@icarehousing
today bought 22 houses under mortgage to rent scheme. This will prevent 55 people becoming homeless. Since last November we have bought 108 houses securing tenure for 278 people. Not many thought this was possible. Many more soon. Team work
One of our Lifeline Ambulance Service Colleagues is quite unwell in Beaumont Hospital. I’d ask you please to keep him & his family in your thoughts and prayers over the coming days . Your thoughts & prayers are greatly appreciated by his family .
This is what was passed last night in the Dail to help vulture funds. A shameful sneaky process to allow such legislation pretending it was emergency Covid related .
Hard to listen to those who say protests won’t build houses . Make no mistake about it effective protests will force an incompetent government to build houses if only to save their political skins , not for any humanitarian or equality reason but for self preservation
This is the croke park covid 19 testing centre. The number of testers will show you the seriousness of what’s ahead . Be safe and adhere to all the advice from the HSE

@LifelineIreland
ambulances assisting with the evacuation of patients from Wexford Hospital , working with the National Ambulance Service. Immense effort from all involved to mind patients especially hospital manager & staff. This will be a very long night .
So I can go for diner in a restaurant this evening,then for drinks in a pub, go watch Ireland tomorrow with 50,000 others, back to the pub but then can’t go to the office on Monday ?
A rumour in today’s Irish Times that Cerberus the biggest bastards of vulture funds is thinking of buying Ulster Banks loans is bad news for customers. Cerberus are despicable unreasonable bastards . I really hope this is untrue .
Not wanting to bath your own children because of vile untruths is truly despicable. Tuslas incompetences is outstanding and needed heads to roll. Is tusla safe? Hard to trust it after this carry on.
This is a very important article. I personally am very relieved it’s been written as I’ve struggled with the lack of reaction since it’s become public . Thanks
@Mickcliff
Amazing how some swallow the spin given by banks, yet no official bank rep has ever come out to debate. Banks are liars and bullies. Let’s not forget the tracker scandal. Don’t believe their spin. Why wont banks allow customers the same write off/down as they give to vultures
One example, In a picture all that is right about Ireland while helping where he should not have to but we have failed as a country that he is needed
#brkevin
Clearly shows how out of touch Leo is. This is beyond spin. Utter rubbish. Vultures are bad & this Government has facilitated them. Leo Varadkar defends ‘vulture funds’ and criticises practices of Irish banks

Was at a funeral in Crumlin just now. Went into St Agnes’s parish centre for a coffee afterward and was asked if I was here for the line dancing ! I could not help myself ! I love Dublin . Up yours covid !
Initial eviction notice: Start mortgages have given repossession order for family in Dublin to the sheriff despite us saying we would buy the house so family can stay as social housing Tennant’s.If sheriff comes I will ask for people to attend to protest as this is unnecessary
Given coronavirus came into Dublin airport from a known Italian virus hotspot surely we need to look at restricting flights from such areas? This was from a place known to have an outbreak!!
If anyone has garden benches or patio chairs left outside, its advisable to bring them in.
Apparently, Sinn Fein are taking seats all over the place this evening.🤣
In Ireland when tragedy strikes we are second to none for stepping up . Three of my
@LifelineIreland
crews have volunteered to assist transfer patients from LetterKenny Hospital to help with the current emergency
There have been more people out and about on foot and in cars in castleknock today than any Saturday pre Covid . Complacency has set in. Time for ramping up supervision
@gardainfo
A reminder : Minister Noonan met with vultures 65 times in 2013/2014 vs 5 times with debtor representatives ( not me). Housing vultures and mortgage arrears is a policy . Wake up ! Noonan is accused of 'rolling out the red carpet for vulture funds'
Sickening to see the clock used for New Year’s Eve count down on RTÉ on Ulster banks building . Sweet Jesus the harm that bank has caused families and businesses . Surely they could have found another building 😡
I’ll be on
@TheHardShoulder
shortly talking to
@kierancuddihy
about the difficult decisions the government took today and what we’re doing to help businesses
When banks needed help our Government reacted over night. Now mortgage holders need help and banks /vultures try to profit . Amazing how the rules changed when banks needed help but can’t happen for customers in trouble who need help. Banks fleece them . Same old same old
