Bye all. I'm deactivating my account and moving to a nicer place where the skies are blue. You can find me again @gerrioneillhist.bsky.social.

@SimonHarrisTD 259 is significantly more than the 'north of 80' suggested by you today. That kind of dismissive understatement is disrespectful and insulting to those desperately waiting for surgery.

[Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paeds Advocacy#backus @SBH_PAG]

@VirginMediaNews @SimonHarrisTD From 259 to less than 20 by Christmas.
We won’t hold our breath

@scolionetwork @CHI_Ireland @HSELive @SimonHarrisTD @FineGael Would love to see some fact-checking on some of those figures dished out by Harris tonight. 🧐 #TonightVMTV

[The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs @scolionetwork]

259 children are waiting for a #scoliosis surgery in @CHI_Ireland & Cappagh as per last update. @HSELive

It’s a lot more than “north of 80” which @SimonHarrisTD knows very well.

Fantastic news for Bohs and for the local area. And massive congratulations to the Bohs board and members who put an extraordinary amount of work into this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Will do all I can to help ensure the project progresses.

If you want to know what life has been like for Palestinians in Gaza over the last year, do watch this moving film made by Gazans - 90% of whom have been displaced.

Simon Harris has embarrassed the country - what a pathetic, immature way to behave. Perhaps the White House needs to ask Norma Foley where she sourced the phone pouches... 🤔

[Mick Caul @caulmick]

The priority of Harris at the WhiteHouse was to get footage for his TikTok video. While the Spanish PM showed grown-up leadership.

[Dr Gerri O'Neill @GerriONeillHist]

@MichealMartinTD @orwell4ever Well perhaps you should consider stopping US military flights into Shannon and prevent planes carrying weapons flying over Irish airspace. 🤔

[UNIFIL @UNIFIL_]

Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Security Council resolution 1701.

We are following up with the IDF on these matters.

[Dr Gerri O'Neill @GerriONeillHist]

It's quite extraordinary to see the responses to this post (all pro-IDF and anti-UNIFIL) from accounts with followers and posts of two digits or less. The Zionist BOTS are busy.

[UNIFIL @UNIFIL_]

IDF soldiers also fired on UN position (UNP) 1-31 in Labbouneh, hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system. An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance.

[The Associated Press @AP]

A United Nations official said Israeli forces fired on three positions of the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon, wounding two peacekeepers. https://t.co/YllsNN58qd

I've been buying my cans in Enniskillen since this charge was introduced. I use an Aarke carbonator for sparkling water so I don't - and won't - participate in this scheme. I still recycle but refuse to participate in this stealth tax.

#tonightvmtv Sorry, can that panellist define 'upskilling of parents'? I'd love to know what exactly he's advocating for expenditure upon. Meanwhile (apparently unskilled) parents are pleading for funding for children with scoliosis, special needs assessments, etc. 🤔

Probably would cost billions if in Ireland. 🙄 #bikeshed #NCH
