To put #restrictions into context, restricted to bed, unable to walk but relearning to move, my Jimbo broke all boundaries and finding his feet. We can all complain, we all have our challenges, but more importantly, we have our health. #StaySafe #IrishMammy #bepositive

@dublinbusnews absolute disgrace of a bus driver at stop 4605, WH2. Drove passed bus stop. Stopped. Wouldn’t put ramp down. Hurled abuse about buggy, clearly wheelchair and drove off. Not on bus, son in tears and embarrassed. Horrific! Shame on Dublin Bus

When there is #Hope , look forward ❤️ Jimbo took his first independent steps last night, hard earned. He set himself a goal of May and smashed it. 3rd time in 15 years he had to relearn post surgeries. Hard work, hard will, determination & a lot of support from family & friends❤️

@CatholicArena Possibly the most insensitive, ill thought, nasty, shameful sight I have ever seen. The impact on Mums and families who may be experiencing loss inside those 4 walls. Not Christian, not compassionate, rather judgemental, not a reflection of our society as a whole. Shame on you.

As we take a short break for Christmas after a busy few months, I am humbled to confirm that I have been nominated by @FineGael to contest the Seanad Eireann election on the Administrative Panel. If elected I will be a strong voice prioritising Disability, Access and inclusion.

@PaulDonnellySF Really?Politicking a National Health Emergency??? @LeoVaradkar was calm,measured,reassuring and honest.Offering leadership and unity during an uncertain and frightening time for many.Not the time.This is an apolitical issue and a time for us all to work together #FlattenTheCurve.

Set out a target in my term as Mayor of @sdublincoco to get 25 @parkrunIE completed. Covid lockdowns hit so unfortunately didn’t finish as planned.However, right back to it when it started back and completed my 25 milestone @griffeenparkrun today with my pal #betterlatethannever

I understand why there is strike action but as a Mammy of a child who’s essential treatment was cancelled because bloods could not be processed, it’s extremely difficult to take. @DonnellyStephen should it have gone this far ? Sickest being used as pawns in a debate about pay?

Having a child in hospital brings so many challenges on top of the ever present worries of illness.I live this as does my colleague @CarrollJennifer .We are committed to continuing to advocate to make tough times easier in for parents&guardians.Let us know your experiences.

Having children in hospital is something no parent wants to face. It's a stressful, worrying time, and can be a financial burden on families. @CarrollJennifer and @VickiCasserly have experienced this first hand, and they want to help make families’ experiences better.

For the day that’s in it, best wishes in incoming Taoiseach @SimonHarrisTD . As an advocate you entered politics to lobby for change, you take on the challenges with force and I’ve no doubt you will give this next challenge your everything. Onwards 🤍
