@ococonuts A 75k conditional offer!!! A brazen rejection of humility, humanity & decency.

And no one will care in Govt. That's the tragedy. A State report which said it say no evidence of forced and illegal adoption even when it stared them in the face, which is contradicted by evidence. Which was more interested in going after the likes of me.

Pathetic. But entirely predictable. We've heard this record before. rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Not one single penny contributed to the appalling Redress Scheme from religious orders. Compel them to pay and make them accountable for decades of human rights abuses.#MotherAndBabyHomes
Social Democrats@SocDems
The Govt has spent 4 years begging religious orders to contribute to redress for survivors of mother and baby homes - without success. These orders made millions on the backs of enslaving women & children. When is the Govt going to go after them with more than a begging bowl?

We urgently need to ban bottom trawl-fishing in the UK's marine protected areas. This industry
❌ Indiscriminately harms marine wildlife
❌ Destroys vital habitat from corals to seagrass
❌ Deepens the climate crisis
➡️81% of the British public support a ban. @OceanaUK

Poorly advertised, an online system that is frustratingly hard to navigate and being forced to sign a waiver. A few of the reasons why.

Good idea Minister. Let’s accuse doctors of not working hard enough, & blame them for the problems in our health service. That will improve morale, retention of doctors & outcomes for patients.

@TomClonan @AndreaT2303 1 =the process appeared to be anti-clinical & anti-clinician: opaque meaningless transdisciplinary reductionism leading to intense frustration for all- foremost the families
2 = idk
3 = I should bloody coco. The process is looking to be repeated in adult disability, primary care

All #Disabled Citizens, #Carers Need To Know 1. Who In HSE (or, Bizarrely, Seconded to HSE) Designed CDNT Model -With No Risk Assessment/No Clinical Sign-Off? 2. Was That Person Paid 2 Public Service Salaries For The Duration of Their Tenure In HSE? 3. Will That Person Apologise?
Liam Quaide TD@LiamQuaide
Any assessment of the failings in Children's Disability Network Teams needs to acknowledge that there are huge issues of burnout and low morale among staff and, consequently, poor retention of staff. This crisis within a crisis requires urgent attention from HSE management.

And, of course, a Seanad campaign is as good as time as any to flog a memoir. Pretty awful stuff this

@JoeNaConnacht @connachtrugby Brilliant stuff. One of the very few family friendly KO times this season IMO...aware that's often TV demands but imo it's short sighted to have so few
English
Fair play to @connachtrugby for moving the Munster game to Castlebar – it looks like they could attract a crowd of 25,000. That’s around three times their previous record! Well done on setting the right ticket prices and scheduling a family-friendly kick-off time.
