Obesity care in Northern Ireland is at a turning point.
On #WorldObesityDay2026, Prof Alex Miras and I spoke on BBC Radio Foyle about the urgent need to establish the Regional Obesity Management Service (ROMS).

@annie_mcginley He's just finding out that performing as a competent political representative is a bit different from sniping on social media.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@DrSdeG It's almost as patients are an inconvenience.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@PulseWoso @timstillman_ Agree. I think Chelsea's social media is really winding Arsenal fans up. Big fan of Katie and I'm Irish. I didn't want her to leave. But she's gone. Sure we are emotional but the abuse is not needed. Let her go, let's have some dignity and get on building our squad.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@Ibrahim6199_ @BrookeOConnorxo She's blocking the fans because you are being abusive. And you are playing into Chelsea hands as their social media is doing their best to wind us up. Let's have a bit of dignity, let her go and focus on our squad.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@cellah26bsky it's very telling what culture Burrows has brought into uup

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@Jolomoco And you say you care about mental health. What a hypocrite.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@sekjournal Your post was a sweeping generalisation about putting up with her poor behaviour when it is a common of most players' game, and I wasn't sure what you were specifically referring to. Anyways, no matter. Good luck with the rest of the transfer window.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@sekjournal No I don't, but you can't tell me other players don't do this. Didn't Bompastor get sent off for doing the same? Plenty of the lionesses have been booked for dissent. High stake sport, heated moments, a lot on the line, it happens. Chelsea could do with a bit more grit.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@dilaurentius Burning her shirt, blocking her on social media, unfollowing all her accounts. Katie will be so gutted. Not. Apparently Katie has started blocking a few of them. Good to see. The abuse is so stupid.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@CFCspan0 @CFlap87450 @journalism_rp Only 2 red cards in her career. Her yellow cards have reduced by half under Renee, as has Arsenal's total number of fouls, so the system Katie works under makes a difference. And she was part of a defence that didn't concede one foul in a Champions League final.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@BrookeOConnorxo The best response to all nonsense I've heard. Important to separate our disappointment at her going to a rival from player. Calling her a traitor, a snake, or a rat (all things I've heard) is inappropriate. We are all disappointed but we don't need to attack players personally.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@Emma_mcwfc Hated from the online fandom, different story in real life, given her recent public appearances.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@timstillman_ They are also definitely in need of a decent keeper.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@slidecityfc @13cheeto Our Katie will thrive anywhere she goes. Being 1/11 siblings makes you very adaptable and she has proven that. She is a winner. 🎉

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@inconeyisland_ Fair enough, I get that. I guess since they've just built a house in London, that sort of move would be even more difficult. I would have preferred her moving away from here altogether to the NWSL.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@inconeyisland_ I didn't say you were wrong, I'm asking what you expected of her, given her particular circumstances

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@inconeyisland_ so you expect her to take less money and move away from her partner?

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@SubToTWFC What an irresponsible thing to say about a human being.

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

@mgtruth @jonnyharvey11 Exactly, witnesses are not there to be cross-examined and be on trial for something they have done wrong. They are there to help with understanding and get to solutions. Gaston's use of the word 'assimilation' was all sorts of wrong.
