Please take a moment to listen to UNICEF Spox @1james_elder, speaking after Israel’s latest strikes on Lebanon. “The killing of children, attacks on hospitals, erasure of entire families is now met with justification or selective outrage or just silence…Children are not collateral…Challenge language and challenge people who normalized attacks on civilians.”

Everyone should take 2 mins to watch this. A father, helped by neighbours, digging for the body of his daughter. Their home destroyed by Israel. This is proper reporting and the reason Israel allows nobody into Gaza and targets journalists every day.

@mohammedIhysse @TalentCoop ❤️

My son Imad said to me today: “Dad, you always say that many people outside Gaza love us, want the war to end for us, and stand with us, right?” I told him, “Yes, my son, many people love us and chant for us 🍉.” He said, “Then post my photo for them… and tell them Imad loves you very much.” This is my son Imad’s message to everyone who chants “Free Palestine”: I am Imad… I love you very much. Please keep speaking up for us always 💔

@CareChampions2 April 30th what year ?

“It’s a struggle to thrive let alone survive as a disabled person in Ireland” - says disabled activist Sophia Mulvaney @AccessForAll7 Disabled people are fed up with the endless promises being made by government & then broken time & time again #EmergencyCostofDisabilityPayment

Everyone in Ireland should see this and really hope that @HMcEntee actually took some learning from the most qualified voice within our Oireachtas! Please learn the lesson and honestly is there a way this man can become Taoiseach! Buladh Bos 👏 💚 Tom your voice is so valid! 💪

Please Watch This & Please Share It -The Casual & Cynical Cruelty -‘not a good idea to drop your child off at a hospital’ -Of A System That Humiliates & Threatens Older #Carers & #Disabled Citizens At Their Lowest Point -Horrifying In What It Reveals About Ableist Ireland #UNCRPD

@TomClonan @HSELive Completely outrageous

Older Parents & #Carers Informed By @HSELive⁩ They 100% Legally Responsible For ‘Accommodation & Care’ Of Adult #Disabled Citizens ‘Until They DIE’ -This Ableist Concept -That Family Bear 100% Responsibility For #Disabled Citizens With ZERO Support REJECTED In Care Referendum

@CareChampions2 You would think that scrapping the means test for carers and increasing the carers allowance would be a no-brainer !!!

The HSE is raising "serious concerns" over a crisis they helped create. The HSE is raising "serious concerns" over the skyrocketing costs of placing people with disabilities in private, for-profit care, with spending on top commercial providers jumping 129% in just four years. An Oireachtas committee will hear tomorrow that some emergency placements now cost roughly €420,000 per person annually due to a lack of state-run housing and increasing complexity of care. To tackle these "governance challenges," the health service is now launching specialist teams to review these high-cost contracts and ensure better value for money and consistent quality of care. #disabilityrights #HSE #CareChampions irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4179…

@PBresnihan @unadunphy What councils have not passed motion ?

Yesterday Galway & Clare joined 9 other councils across Ireland in passing a motion calling on the Govnt to retain the Triple Lock. That FG & FF councillors are voting with their conscience to support these motions tells you a lot about the Govnt's cynicism and lack of mandate.

@MahmoudMassri15 @TalentCoop Beautiful words

To Trump, to Netanyahu — you were wrong from the very beginning. We are not rubble; we are roots. You tried to bury us, but we are the engineers of survival. Open the crossings — and we will show you that from the ashes of Gaza, minds sharper than your missiles will rise. What you destroyed taught us nothing except how to rebuild in defiance.

@PBresnihan @TiocfaidhArLa66 Not fit for their purpose!!!!

When the Government says that the 'Triple Lock is no longer fit for purpose', what they mean is that they see an opportunity to remove one of the last vestiges of Ireland's neutrality, committing Irish defence forces to EU/NATO military operations.

@williamhboney1 @GarNob @unadunphy @caulmick @Independent_ie @welfare_ie @RevenueIE And then why are some carers not being paid a wage at all ?? They are being discriminated against - no other Irish workers are means tested for the wages for the work they do.

@unadunphy @caulmick @Independent_ie @welfare_ie @RevenueIE If carers’ payments are wages for Revenue, then carers are workers in law. The State cannot have it both ways.

Tens of thousands of carers left facing Revenue tax bills going back years - Charlie Weston 34,000 to get letters stating Carer’s Allowance and Carer’s Benefit payments are taxable Man (81) expecting bill of €6,000 for last three years Carers’ payments are means-tested, causing many to believe they do not owe tax #Carers #FFG #Revenue independent.ie/business/perso…
