@GarNob espec re supporting their mental health. Re disabilities; kids with disabilities grow up to be adults with disabilities - surprise!! Start forward planning now. For them, for their families etc. Don’t write them off. Change the forms, change everything! Total societal change!
@GarNob And as for disabilities & mental health… it is a complete joke. And the new department needs to look across a person’s whole lifecycle & hopefully if we can start to get things right into the future when they are kids we are providing adults with the skills for the future
@GarNob He’s been amazing but today his best day ever. Such an empathic interviewer, got balance perfect each time & made sure they knew how proud they should feel of themselves & pride we feel too. They will remember that as the initial hurt eases. @DavidGillick
@gavontwitt Ridiculously excited in this house for the Games to start! Best of luck yourself & hope you can get to enjoy it a wee bit amongst all the amazing work you’ll be doing! Behind each athlete there are amazing people & teams like yourself plus their families!
@GarNob It is so bizarre to put it mildly. Most of these people probably refused to wear a mask I suspect during Covid times but will put a daft white yoke on their ear in solitary with a man who incites violence & hatred & got shot because of it
@GarNob @HHumphreysFG Oh my god I never knew that until today. Why am I surprised? Yet again treat those who are vulnerable & need the most support with the least support and as unequals in our society. It’s pure meanness; a child would cop that’s wrong 😢.
@vickinotaro My granny always wanted to do that & was devoutly catholic but kept getting the giggles! Would start when she kissed the cross at noon & it went downhill from there. Good Friday always my fav as my gdad unimpressed with her!! She like a child in fits, shaking with laughter!!
@GarNob Completely agree. Needs to be independent without a doubt. Needs to run like you would run a disciplinary or a grievance process within a business/ corporate. If it hasn’t been resolved internally then out of the school & somewhere independent with clear structures & clout
@MissEllieN Bhuel tá mé i mo chónaí i mBaile Átha Cliath agus inné chuaigh mé síos go Rinn na Mara. Bhí an lán mara ann agus mar sin bhí sé níos éasca léim isteach! Bhí cónaí orm i nGaillimh ar feadh na mblianta agus mar sin is fada liom uaim uiscí glan criostail an Atlantaigh; sa samhradh!
@GarNob@MaryLouMcDonald@ivanabacik@HollyCairnsTD Totally agree. The back peddling & them blaming the gov post result is nearly worse than their words & deeds the last few weeks. Have the guts to own it. You were as bad as the parties you say you aren’t. You had a chance to say no, you didn’t, end of. No excuses.
@GarNob@HollyCairnsTD I’m a massive fan of @HollyCairnsTD. She is the one who usually gives me hope of a better Ireland but I am so disappointed that it appears like @SocDems are a Yes for Care. That’s what the public are hearing NOW, 5 days out. She made it quite clear in recent Echo article
