Just home after a long soul-destroying day vaccinating. I’m exhausted! I don’t want to go back! Spent a day having the head torn off me by people who had to queue… for a life saving, free vaccine! Frontline workers don’t deserve the abuse they received today.

Today the visa applications of my family members were rejected by @IrelandEmbUAE stating that they don’t meet the eligibility requirements. I know these applications don’t meet your strict criteria laid down for family reunification but our families desperately need our help.1/8

Pretty sure I was the first pregnant person in Ireland to be vaccinated against covid-19.

This is my healthy little boy.

I was thrilled to be able to protect myself ( and him ).

Best of luck to all getting their shots this week! ❤️

@cihalpin Yes I once got put back on emergency tax when moving jobs within the same hospital. And like most was too tired to so anything about it

@redlemonader Woooo hoooo

While so many people are (quite rightly) pushing governments to do the right thing and help India, let’s remember that 1 child in 8 won’t make it to their 5th birthday in Sierra Leone. Its not a choice but “disaster” is often conflated with “immediate disaster” in news cycles

Fleeing #conflict, & without her dad, Merhawit walked 300km across #Tigray, #Ethiopia. She carried her baby brother all 300km! She slept in bushes & "begged" for food. “I saw so many dead bodies by the road.” Her eyes grow heavy with tears. Full story to come. @UNICEF

@ClaireDonohoe6 @cmgleeson @amymorgangp @lilykingbooks Circe by Madeline Miller is a belter, doesn't sound like a fun read from the description but it really is

[Emer Shortall @EmerFemur]

@ClaireDonohoe6 @cmgleeson @amymorgangp @lilykingbooks Yes night feed kindle buys are an issue here too, I find Georgette Heyer makes getting no sleep easier for some reason. Enjoyed The vanishing half and Caitlin Moran's new one as well recently

If you do one thing today please read and share this @guardian investigation showing the appalling way people are left by the Libyan coastguard to drown in the Med.

This is still happening in 2021. These are real people losing their lives because of politics.

✈️ Outbreak—47 positive #COVID19 of a 188 seat Vistara flight from New Delhi to Hong Kong have tested positive, after all tested negative 72 hours prior. The scariest thing? Only 8 detected before began quarantine. 39 only identified later during hotel quarantine, 22 at day 12!🧵

Hi @HerneHillBooks do you do gift vouchers?

[Emer Shortall @EmerFemur]

@clarkshelp wondering if you are opening for kid shoe fittings in Ireland?

What happened to Dr Kieran’s team is happening to GP teams all over the country and is neither right , fair or deserved. Please respect your GP team. #BePatient #BeKind @ICGPnews @gpbuddy @rosablackgp @WalleyRay

My father got vaccinated yesterday (thank you @MaterDublin) and took what I think was his first ever selfie, he suggested there should be a photographer there like when you visit Santa

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

The U.S. is “gravely concerned” by reports of atrocities in Ethiopia's Tigray region, State Department spokesman Ned Price said Monday.

This follows a #BBCAfricaEye investigation, with @bellingcat & @Newsy, that uncovered evidence of a massacre by the Ethiopian army in Tigray.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

New reports and footage emerging from #Tigray of extrajudicial killings, murders of civilians, sexual and gender-based violence, and forced displacement are deeply disturbing.

[Michele Servadei @ServadeiMichele]

Met in #Tigray these gorgeous 5 siblings. They cannot find their mum. They ran away from conflict. @UNICEFEthiopia is supporting #family tracing and interim #care for hundreds of #children. @UNICEF @USAIDSavesLives @eu_echo @UKinEthiopia @unicefprotects
