Everyone knows a child or young person waiting for an Assessment of Need.
The Government is breaking the law. Every child is entitled to an Assessment of Need within six months, yet more than 20,000 children are waiting beyond that legal timeframe.
Behind every statistic is a child waiting, and a family being let down.
Cara Dermody has worked tirelessly to shine a light on this growing crisis. Every child deserves the support they need, when they need it.
The BBC opener for the All-Ireland hurling final.
I had one of the most beautiful days filming this. We hope you can join us on Sunday..

Irish Unity is an economic opportunity for the whole Island.
Partition has economically failed both South and North.
Irish Unity has the potential to unlock and all-island economy that could be transformative for all.
At just 15 years of age, Cara Darmody finishes her third 50-hour protest outside Leinster House.
Cara is standing up for the more than 21,000 children waiting beyond the legal deadline for an Assessment of Need, calling for the recruitment of the psychologists and therapists needed to end these unacceptable delays.
It's time to deliver timely Assessments of Need and give every child the fair start they deserve.
I remember at the start of 2013 @BernardBrogan told me that @CKKilkenny93 deciding not to return to Oz would be the difference between Berno finishing his career with 1 All-Ireland or many All-Irelands.
How right he was! 🏅
Unbelievable servant to Dublin & a gent too! 👏

Controversial’ calls aren’t good enough;they need to be the correct calls.These players are giving their all, & they are being destroyed by these decisions.This is tough to watch; absolutely rotten.Referees get it wrong; hold your hands up, hold them to account. @PhillyMcMahon
“We asked the players to go out on their shields and I think that was evident for anyone who was watching today- they just gave it everything…”

After 37 years, as the public inquiry into my father’s murder begins, our family is more determined than ever to uncover the full truth about what happened.
Hi this is @horseymatilda My account from 2011 was unfairly suspended by X .....I had to start again. I would appreciate a follow on this new account. 😇
Working people who play by the rules and do everything right are being failed. This by-election is a big opportunity to send Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael a loud message - enough is enough! It’s time for action to cut the cost of living and make life affordable.
On Friday, use your vote to make a real difference for Galway West. Vótáil Mark Lohan No.1!

Minister Lawless must commit to reducing student fees in next budget as promised – McGettigan
"Students and families cannot be left in limbo again. They shouldn't have to pay the price for Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael’s inability to manage the public finances."

Thanks to all who have followed me. X is curtailing how many people I follow back at the moment but I will get there and follow you all back. I really appreciate your kindness ❤️
Great to speak alongside Gillian Sherratt last night in Dublin Central with families about the parties work on disability - For far too long, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have failed people with disabilities and their families. People are being left waiting for assessments, supports, services and dignity while this government continues to ignore their voices.
People with disabilities deserve far better than what they are getting from this government.
On May 22nd, you can send a message that enough is enough. Vótáil Janice Boylan No. 1
Speaking with people in Cabra today who are feeling the pressure as the cost of living continues to rise.
Workers and families need real support but Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael refuse to act - it’s time they do their job.
By voting Janice Boylan No. 1 on May 22nd, you can send a clear message to government that ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has said batches of Lidl 100% Irish Chicken Breast Fillet products are being recalled due to the possible presence of salmonella and has urged consumers to check their freezers for the products https://t.co/vnYHwXoJhK
Out in Cabra today chatting with people on the doors about the upcoming by-election, a real chance to send a strong message to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
Workers and families are being squeezed to the limit by the cost of living crisis. Enough is enough - we need an emergency budget now! We’ve put forward the solutions. It’s time for them to act.
On May 22nd, vótáil Janice Boylan 1 💚
