@N_Vargesson A well deserved recognition for your years of work in helping the world and survivors understand this drug. 👏 congratulations

Honoured to have been awarded the 2026 British Society for Developmental Biology Lewis Wolpert Medal - means so much; particularly,recognition of my public engagement & impact of our research on Thalidomide & Primodos survivors. bsdb.org/2026/03/24/202…

Remembering Mum Margaret Kilty on her anniversary today. (d2004) Mum of Spokesperson Finola Cassidy. Margaret cofounded the ‘Parents for Justice for Thalidomide Children” in the 70’s. Surely enough time has passed by now for justice for the Mothers too 💔

Happy 💚 St Patrick’s Day to our worldwide Thalidomide community and family, friends and supporters. Go mbeadh dea-shláinte agus suaimhneas intinne agat (may you be granted good health and peace of mind) #Thalidomide 🇮🇪

And the magic one. Mum Mary Clarken too 💖 @RTELateLateShow

@CarlowWeather Hi can you tell us what it will be like for Daffodil Day this Friday 20th 🙏🙏

The amount of rain forecast for La Palma in the Canaries over the next week is crazy. Some other islands will see heavy rain too but not much for Lanzarote or Fuerteventura.

Well do you remember the night our Martin Murphy and Finola Cassidy met Oscar winner Richard Baneham @RTELateLateShow Just saying 🤩

@GeraldineKildu1 @fiannafailparty @FineGael Sadly so many now gone and will never hear it 💔

@ThalidomideIre @fiannafailparty @FineGael Another Mothers Day and still waiting for an apology! Bless these great women. ❤️

Daffodil Day FRIDAY 20th MARCH As we get organised for DAFF DAY we remember those we have lost to cancer and those of our members and our families who have come through it. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Help us, help our child, Minister. Eric [@ericbrennan_] and Sam [ @SammyRB81] the parents of Sophie Redmond make a plea to their TD and the Minister for Health @CarrollJennifer to publish the section of the Nayagam Report pertaining to their daughter. Sophie's health and wellbeing and that of all the children caught up in this investigation, must come first. #Scoliosis #CHI #Nayagam #JusticeForSophie #BackUs #JusticeforHarvey

Symbolising the tough climb that disability and advocacy are for so many, survivor Finola Cassidy stopped @charliebird49 to honour the man at Croagh Patrick. “I’d need a few new body parts to make it to the top” FC

Remembering Thalidomide Mothers today. A lifetime waiting for justice to be done. pictured Mary Clarken (95) who still waits for her state apology and Peggy Murphy 🙏 who died last year (95) never hearing one. How long more? Seriously! How long? #IWD2026

@ClarCahill Beautiful xx

Thread 🧵 International Women’s Day The most inspiring woman I know is my mother, Máirín Fewer Falconer. She was infected with Hepatitis C through the Irish health system, which robbed her of her health for much of my childhood. #InternationalWomensDay

Please listen and share. Mum Peggy Murphy (🙏2025) talking in 2022 to @KatieGHannon It’s clear why she must be honoured at the ‘Vanquished Writing History’ tonight and remembered always ❤️ @LinenhallMayo @PaulMacCormaic rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

All roads lead to Castlebar @LinenhallMayo “Vanquished Writing History” stunning portrait exhibition by @PaulMacCormaic opens tomorrow night at 5pm. Thalidomide Mum Peggy Murphy, who died last year without an apology, is portrayed with son Martin. This matters. Truly.

‘The Vanquished writing History’ @PaulMacCormaic opens @LinenhallMayo in Castlebar this Friday 5pm. Well worth a read of RTE’s review last year when this exhibition opened @rha rte.ie/gaeilge/2025/0…

Ger Kilduff, a lifetime seeking recognition as a Thalidomide survivor. She has a medical diagnosis of Thalidomide damage but the State has dragged its heels in recognising and accepting her truth. She’s just got her first medical card after 60 years. We take the little wins 😡🙄
