Congratulations to the Irish Women's Deaf team who have secured a World Cup spot 🏆

A fantastic 5-2 win seals a spot in the 5/6th play-off and a World Cup spot which is in Brazil next year 👏

A really interesting insight into how persons with acquired traumatic brain injury may lose out because of an ‘insight’ clause in the legislation. Thanks for highlighting @TheBarofIreland

[The Bar of Ireland @TheBarofIreland]

🎙️In this week's podcast, @EugeneDeering argues that the "insight" clause in the 2021 Personal Injury Guidelines - reducing awards for plaintiffs suffering traumatic brain injuries - is a cause for concern.

Baby loss impacts many people across the country. We want to work together to reduce the incidence of baby loss so that when it does happen that people have better outcomes.

[Fighting Blindness @fight_blindness]

There are an estimated 272,000 people in Ireland who are blind or visually impaired. But alarmingly, almost half (48%) of people still don’t know how often they should visit their optician for a routine check-up. #WSD2022 #EyeHealth #Glaucoma @SpecsaversIE
