Every year.. ....why are we not striving to put more ESB cables under ground ...might be expensive but in longer term surely better #StormÉowyn

@beirni @ESOstroke An suimúil ...Tarlaíonn sé ó am go h-am....cinnte tá mórán nach tuigimid maidir le bisiú teanga i ndiaidh stróic...iontach a chloisint gur tháinig do Ghaelinn bhinn ar ais ar a laghaid.

ongoing audit shows half stroke patients in hospital not in stroke unit care...imagine half patients with heart attack not in Coronary care- programme for government has no mention of stroke or thr national strategy??! We need a voice for healthy ageing in oireachtas #seanad

Iontach tacaíocht a fháil ó Micheál Ó Domhnaill ar son mo iarracht suiochán a bhuachaint ar Paineál NUI don Seanad ...sár cluche i ndán dúinn inniu ó Páirc an Chrocaigh comh maith #seanad #gaaclubchampionship @officialgaa

In 2050 I in 4 of us will be over 65 ...I in 4 of us will get stroke or dementia ...1 in 10 will break a hip ....how v disappointing programme of government has no specific mention of implementation of national stroke or dementia strategy...Nothing specific on ageing healthily or adding life to years ....in my opinion no real evidence of understanding the priorities or challenges we face.

Was to discuss non political issue of illegal hunting & importance of biodiversity to patients @TUH_Tallaght on @rteliveline today but @rte informed me as a Seanad candidate they couldnt have me on ?Rule doesn't apply to @rtenews !! #seanad Impartiality @kevinbakhurst ?

An appalling act of environmental vandalism ...much effort from Norway and our own @NPWSIreland to reintroduce this beautiful bird and this is how We respond....we need more education but also appropriate deterrents to protect our biodiversity .
