Young disabled people being trapped in nursing homes is one of the greatest injustices of our time. During every election the housing crisis is rightly discussed, but no one talks about the over 1,200 young disabled people forced to live in nursing homes. https://t.co/gxDXfuwwYJ

Trinity graduates should be receiving Seanad ballot paper in the post shortly. Caitlin and I are supporting Independent Senator Tom Clonan to be re-elected to the Seanad.
Tom has done more for disability rights in Ireland in recent years than anyone we know. Please vote No. 1

@AnPostvox I sent Christmas cards this week and to my amazement one of the receivers told me the card had reached them without a stamp. I forgot to put a stamp on that one, but your nice people delivered it anyway. Thank you so much! I promise to never give out about you 😍.

@McNiffecent She’s in my constituency Aisling and I voted for her. So happy to see her rerun to the Dail. A strong voice for our disabled community, women, workers, Palestine… the most marginalised in society really.

“The Social Democrats are really the face of a changing politics in Ireland ... Women have babies, that’s just reality and that’s life, and we have to support them if we want more women to run.”

1/2 If your election vote is influenced by how we care for carers, protect vulnerable children in care, ensure children with additional needs get the assessments, services and schooling they need and vindicate the rights and empower our disabled citizens here’s a short summary of the manifestos

@jenhoganjourno Yeah, my first thought ‘did he ask for anything’.. 🫣 but joking really. The child is possibly just being kind ❤️

If it’s not education families of people with complex needs are fighting for, it’s healthcare/disability services/respite/ residential care & so much more, it’s never ending. People with disabilities deserve to be valued, respected & supported to live their best lives. #WhoCares
