@mulvanypeopleb1 It's obvious that some disability service providers are not doing the jobs that they (mostly non-impaired people) are getting well paid for
Therefore, is it not time for a Disabled Persons' Representative Organisation (DPRO) for autistic people to be founded, asap?

So, I've got some good news, I’m going to be a Dad. Still feels unreal saying it out loud. I'm counting down the days and soaking in this moment before everything changes. I already know this will be the most important role of my life.

Patients requiring urgent cancer care are experiencing significant treatment delays due to recurring breakdowns of radiotherapy machines across several Irish hospitals. These ongoing technical failures have prompted calls for immediate investment to replace aging equipment and ensure patients receive life-saving treatment on schedule.

#ScoliosisScandal

👏👏 How brilliant is @GillSherratt23 here at the #SFAF26 this afternoon. Harvey Morrison,[RIP] who suffered from scoliosis, died on July 29 last year. He was only 9-years-old. He spent years on a waiting list, his spinal curve caused his rib cage to twist around his lungs and heart, severely restricting his breathing. #JusticeforHarvey #RIP #scoliosis #BackUs

What words could you use to describe a society that has allowed situations such as these to become acceptable.
They’re not acceptable!
They never will be

Ireland hates disabled children, then hates them more when they're adults.

@mariamariamca @TomClonan Those wheelchair user children will thank you for doing so for the rest of their lives. Take it from me.

Yes we need to get organised. Sadly, we have to take our sick children- in their wheelchairs- everywhere that the EU heads are going to be while we have the EU presidency.

@Wombat636363 @TomClonan But autism is a recognised disability in this country 🤔
Ireland 🇮🇪 English
@TomClonan Yes. A formal Disabled /Carers/Autistic Union to advocate & vote as a pact
Census 22--> 22% declared disability->over 1 million people
Alone: 5% ADHD + 5% ASD
Add family voters & that's ~40%+ of every constituency
Overwhelming if organised.
FFG know the numbers & fear them.

Life's too short.
Eat the cake
Drink the wine
Smile at a stranger
Laugh out loud
Dance in the rain
Go on holiday
Tell them you love them
Wear what you want
Listen to the waves
More importantly be fucking kind to everyone, you don't know what they are going through.

Always remember us priests in your prayers. In a special way pray for us in this mission and remote area. We have a lot to do from catechesis to constructions. The rapidly growing Catholic population also requires us to handle the people well so they could remain strong in faith.
