@rodericogorman @Costellop You and your 77 colleagues in the Dáil should be ashamed of yourselves. You're not fit to mention the title minister for children let alone hold it, not even consideration given to possible amendments to the bill.... what happened to democracy? Just a continuation of the abuse.

A statement on this evening's #MotherAndBabyHome Bill.

@eir can someone contact me about cancelling my account, 3 times now I've been on hold for more than 1hr and then disconnected... its ridiculous at this stage. A/C 38993519

@HMcEntee @MichealMartinTD @MaryLouMcDonald @EamonRyan @LeoVaradkar @BrendanHowlin @RoisinShortall disgusted at the response of the new minister for justice at last nights debate re extension of maternity leave, absolutely no respect for the thousands of mothers struggling.

No family help, no services.... a 12 week extention in maternity leave and benefit would give mothers the chance to regain some of what was lost. The proposed extension to parental leave is a completely separate issue and will be of no benefit to mothers struggling right now.

How much extra do you think it will cost the government when thousands of women have to leave work and sign on because they can't access childcare or apply for illness benefit because their mental health has been so badly affected by having a baby in isolation, having no supports

@ag_agii @matleave2020 @LeoVaradkar @RTEOne @NWCI @VirginMediaNews @ReginaDo @CharlieFlanagan @merrionstreet @LeoVaradkar make a decision one way or another and let us mothers know, its completely unfair for you to continue to drag this out any longer

@LeoVaradkar When will you give us an answer on the 3 months temporary maternity extension?? There's 28 thousand of us waiting on an answer!Another week filled with your ignorance! @RTEOne @NWCI @VirginMediaNews @ReginaDo @CharlieFlanagan @merrionstreet #AnswerTheBabiesLeo #ExtendMatLeave2020

My mum brought my attention to this great twitter account. Lots of brilliant drawings. Maith Sibh!

We need an answer @LeoVaradkar! You said you would give "meaningful consideration" to temporarily extending maternity leave and benefit in light of the COVID crisis! Over 27,000 people have now signed our Petition. We need a decision #AnswerTheBabiesLeo #ExtendMatLeave2020

Last Thursday in Dáil Éireann @LeoVaradkar telling @bridsmithTD he will consider the extension, where is our answer? #AnswerTheBabiesLeo #ExtendMatLeave2020

Women who've had babies recently haven't had access to the usual supports for new mothers. We're supporting the call to #extendmaternityleave @bridsmithTD

@bridsmithTD @CharlieFlanagan @rtenews @KittyHollandIT @IrishTimes @NWCI Has this announcement been forgotten about?

Let’s hope it will be good news @CharlieFlanagan just told me in Dáil he will make a announcement in next 48 hours on the extension of maternity leave and benefits for #COVIDー19 period @rtenews @KittyHollandIT @IrishTimes @NWCI
