The Government is looking for views on what should be included in a Restorative Recognition Scheme for former residents of Mother and Baby Homes.

Illegal adoptions. Another dark chapter in our recent history. Personal accounts are heart breaking. Big big questions on human dignity and state/society atonement. To our everlasting shame. #RTEInvestigates #illegaladoptions

"The middle classes wanted rid of what were called illegitimate babies at the time and this was a way of doing it. And nursing homes, doctors, priests, nuns were all complicit. To our everlasting shame we turned a blind eye" @fergusfinlay  #RTEInvestigates

Jesus. This Prime Time report reveals a new historical low. The island of saints and scholars, like hell.

What causes 8 million premature deaths a year? Pollution, says a new study. That's 1 in 5 premature deaths. Climate change is not some future event. Based on this research it is already killing people. Lots of people. Has @IPCC_CH reported on this aspect? https://t.co/vMB3j7aSI5

Highest infection rate on Earth. This is getting serious. Questions for #ireland for a later day. 1) are we okay with having one of the lowest ICU resources in Europe? 2) is it beyond us to stay away from people at Christmas? #COVID19ireland @HSELive https://t.co/1iD5N08M6A

Vaccinating top 4 priority groups will have a huge effect on mortality. Vaccinating 50% of population is needed for major impact on hospital /ICU admissions.

Shocking & deeply sad scenes in Washington DC - we must call this out for what it is: a deliberate assault on Democracy by a sitting President & his supporters, attempting to overturn a free & fair election! The world is watching!
We hope for restoration of calm.

Does anyone know whether early childcare closure (for non essential worker parents) takes effect immediately (tonight) or from Monday morning? Press release not definitive on this. @rodericogorman @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1@roderi

Tony Holohan: ‘we are strongly advising everyone to stay safely at home to avoid transmitting or catching this virus, as it continues to circulate widely’. 50% of spread is from people with no symptoms, 3-7 days post infection. We must hold steady as vaccination begins.

After 4.5 years of collective effort and #EU unity:

To preserve peace on the island of Ireland. To protect citizens and the Single Market. To build a new partnership with the UK.

Thank you all 🙏

You can make your own Christmas safe, meaningful and memorable for the right reasons. Stay home, stay safe and stay well. Limit contact as much as you can. Mind yourself. Watch out for others. Follow our public health advice. Have a very happy Christmas. @roinnslainte @HSELive

[Professor Philip Nolan @PhilipNolan_MU]

We have seen case numbers at this level and rising this rapidly only twice before: in March and in October. We have gone from a (5-day) average of 260 cases per day to 469 cases per day in one week. It's a cause for grave concern. Stay well. Stay safe. Stay home.

My 2 daughters may not live in the United States, but there is a powerful message for them in @KamalaHarris achievement this day. Historic and inspiring. #BidenHarris2020

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.
