@MichealLehane Didn't see him getting grilled like mcEntee did this morning

Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan is said to be facing strong criticism at the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party meeting.

@Eintrachtrob @MichealMartinTD Sure if nobody voted for him he wouldn't be taoiseach. But they did

It's time @MichealMartinTD called it a day in politics.
The disaster of the presidential election campaign was bad enough, but failure to read the mood of the country properly and subsequent setting of the army on its own people . . . enough is enough.
He's in DÉ since 1989 ffs.

Opposition parties are quiet. Persume that means they are standing with the Government #fuelprotest

@MOKEarlyYears Agree. It's way out of hand. I'm afraid the people supposedly running the country haven't a clue what's going on on the ground

This makes me so angry, what hope do our young people have. Are these investment funds still also exempt from paying tax in Ireland? 🤬

The Dáil has heard that one of the largest landlords in the State, investment fund I-RES REIT, has told investors that changed rental laws mean it can increase new rents by 25% rte.ie/news/politics/…

I think the headline should read, hundreds of children could be left without school places. Every child is entitled to an education, so children alone is enough, then people will sit up and take note

@SaturdayRTE special education, additional education. Special or additional to what?. The very reason we use these words is absolutely the reason we are in such a mess now. Education for all, despite how the students learn, put in the resources for all children

Great Analysis From Mary Regan: SNA controversy exposes State’s ingrained attitude to people with disabilities -✊Quote ‘the historically ingrained belief that what the State offers to those with greatest need is a benefit, rather than an essential right’

@MCOR1963 Absolutely agree. But nobody is ever held to account. Always protected by an apology
English
Tge person who sent this letter should lose their job. Shocking lack of empathy and understanding which I would have thought to be mandatory for that job.

The HSE has finally apologized to a mother for a letter that caused significant distress. But let’s be honest, would this have happened without media outrage? A "sincere regret" doesn’t fix the broken culture that allowed this to happen in the first place. We need more than PR, we need positive solutions, transparency and accountability The massive power imbalance in our healthcare system often leaves families afraid to speak up. It’s time for a system that treats patients with the dignity they deserve, starting with the very first communication they receive. #HSE #Apology #powerinbalance #CareChampions irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

@ElaineStensonFM @TomClonan This mother had a voice, but she was obviously not listened to

Well done @TomClonan for fighting for those with no voice.

@ciananbrennan An apology now because the letter has gone public, cold comfort. Does not address what was said in the letter

HSE apologises to mother of intellectually disabled adult child over 'threatening' letter

@MaryLouMcDonald Parents being told they are responsible for their adult disabled children accommodation needs until the day they die, you missed that one
English
What on earth is going on? Why are Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael failing children so badly. Children in Kerry harmed in their mental healthcare. SNAs taken away from schools. Children waiting and waiting for assessments of needs. Not enough school places. Children with Scoliosis forced to fundraise to get operations abroad.
Where is the accountability? Why do they make it so hard for parents. We have to put this right.

@GarryMoogan But they won't. An apology now because it's in the public domain. An HSE disability manager who knows nothing about disability

This is sick…. Whoever sent this letter needs to be held accountable.
