Voting @FineGael
in the by-election is voting for Simon Harris, and that means accepting the treatment of children with scoliosis and the existence of "medical orphans" in our health service. It means what happened to Harvey and other vulnerable children is to be tolerated.
It’s a strange kind of hurt when you see people close to you sharing fundraisers for strangers, but staying silent when it’s their own niece who needs help.
Katie isn’t just a story on the internet.
She’s 19.
She’s in pain every single day.
She has already fought harder than most people ever will.
And right now, we are trying to raise the money for surgery that could change the rest of her life.
I don’t expect everyone to donate. I really don’t.
But sharing costs nothing.
One share could reach the one person who can help.
One share could bring Katie one step closer to surgery.
One share could make a difference.
It’s heartbreaking when strangers show more support than people who know her, love her, or should want to see her get the chance she deserves.
Katie deserves better than silence.
Please share Katie’s GoFundMe.
Please help us keep her story moving.
Please help Katie get the surgery she needs.

We don’t have enough staff to run the new children's hospital. Don’t worry though the robots are here, and it looks every bit as magical as Lucy Nugent said it would.
Struggling to keep your business afloat?
Choosing between home heating oil and food?
Living in homeless accommodation?
Well, at least you can console yourself with the fact that Fine Gael's @nealerichmond will give away €840 million of your money to other countries this year.
That's twice what we spent on fuel allowance last year.
It's roughly equivalent to its entire budget for SNAs country wide.
To my mind, that money belongs to the Irish people - to our kids, our sick, our elderly, our homeless. Giving it away to other countries should be considered economic treason.
@RTE_PrimeTime
We have amongst the LOWEST number of conditions tested for in Europe in the heelprick test.
Surely there is an argument to be made for a European collective bargaining position on pricing for cures. E.g. Libmeldy is a ONCE OFF cost
@RTE_PrimeTime How much is palliative care, balanced against the cost of treatment? Years of 24 hour nursing care, loss of potential income from earnings of victim and their families unable to work because of caring for dying children
@RTE_PrimeTime Professor Michael Barry speciously avoiding stating the cost they have assigned to human life, because they HAVE assigned a cost.
WHY are you sentencing children to death?

Please help us get Katie the surgery she needs.
The last time we had to take Katie out of Ireland was for SDR surgery. SDR stands for Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy. It is major spinal neurosurgery for children with cerebral palsy, where the nerves causing severe muscle tightness are carefully tested and cut to reduce spasticity.
We were told Katie was too weak for that surgery too.
But we fought for her. We took her abroad. Katie did the hard work. She proved people wrong.
That surgery helped give Katie the chance to walk.
Watch the video below to see for yourself.
Now, all these years later, we are here again. Katie has cerebral palsy, a dysplastic hip, twisted femur, retroverted pelvis and a labral tear. She is in pain, and she needs major surgery to give her the best chance of keeping the mobility she has fought so hard for.
We cannot do this alone.
We have been fundraising for nearly four years and we are exhausted, but giving up is not an option when it comes to Katie.
Please, if you can donate, even a small amount, it will help
. If you cannot donate, please share Katie’s story.
Share it to your page, your groups, your workplace, your family, your friends.
Someone, somewhere, may be able to help us get Katie there.
Katie has fought all her life to keep walking.
Now we need people to fight with her.

@Keith_Tkd@RealIrishNews@griptmedia is this candidate a fraud, and here on a fraudulent basis? Are there many liars like her moving up the rungs of grifting and exploitation with political support?
@RealIrishNews I wish I still had access to my Telegram account to find my old videos etc because I'm sick to death of how blatantly unaware people are of what Ogbu has gotten away with and no1 willing to look into it 😡
Helen Ogbu, who entered Ireland and claimed Asylum under false pretenses in 2004/2005, claiming her husband was killed in Nigeria when infact he died in 2010.
Ogbu had previously had a baby in Ireland on a short trip in 2001 to utilize for later citizenship purposes.
Here she is begging 'New Citizens' to register to vote in Galway West, one of the most remote and ethically Irish parts of the country.
My daughter, married 4 children, working full-time as is her husband. Doctors appointment €70 and €80 a month for any meds. If she was Ukrainian she'd have a medical card, no questions asked. Oh renting aswell, can't get a mortgage. So basically their fucked living here.
Hospital waiting lists are projected to reach a million people this year, almost a fifth of our population.
Over 3,000 people admitted without beds to sleep in while being treated.
Endometriosis care access for young women voted against.
Insourcing scheme scrapped.
40% of all current child death review reports have not been published.
Children dying while waiting for appointments.
Patients with progressive diseases are being ghosted when emailing.
Nursing students leaving abroad.
Migrants taking up a huge amount if not most of the sector jobs.
And yet this is our health ministers this week.
Shame.
Disgrace.
Resign.
@Stephen63224725 The most painful part is the ease with which the people with the ability to ease suffering choose to lie, to obfuscate and dodge responsibility. It didn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to be this way. You and Gillian are in my thoughts.
I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemy. I truly hope all our campaigning makes a real difference for children across Ireland. They deserve so much better. I still want to believe this country has a bright future, but right now with this Government, it feels lost and broken
I don’t think I’ll ever understand how the state failed Harvey so badly, and so many other children like him. Some days the grief, the anger, and the desperate need for answers become so overwhelming that I feel like giving up the fight for Justice.
@GarethNotGarth And the then minister for health who signed off on it is now the minister of finance paying the exorbitant bills for it Simon Harris a college dropout who never had a job outside of politics.
Only in Ireland
€2.2 billion
Most expensive hospital in the world
4 years late
Still no opening date
Not 1 person will lose their job over this
Official Ireland in a nutshell
