๐Our heartfelt congratulations to Senator Eileen Flynn, the first Traveller person ever elected to the Seanad. โกThis is the second time Eileen's made history; in 2020 as a Taoiseach's nomination, she was the first Traveller person in the Seanad.
Last semester @KinshipcareIrl visited @MU_ChildPolicy to give a great lecture about kinship care. Congratulations to all at Kinship Care & colleagues @TREOIR on today's excellent event. We look forward to hearing more about the proposed policy in next year's module @maynoothuni
On Monday, the battle for gender equality & disability rights will continue. I believe we will be stronger in those battles if we have a section in the Constitution marked care & weaker if we choose in 2024 to keep current patriarchal language & ideas. I'm voting #YesYes tomorrow
@Love1solidarity It is no surprise that Eileen choose two amazing women that inspire her as she continues to inspire me. Love this piece in the @IrishTimes magazine today
Fanstastic to open the paper this morning and read this wonderful interview with the amazing @paveebeoir @PatrickFreyne1 Rosaleen is as always insirational.
I voted Yes for Marriage equality, I didn't like being part of an exclusive club that same sex couples could not join. I will #voteyesyes for family equality, I don't believe my family should be more valued than any other family & a woman's place is where ever she wants it to be
