We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.

.@KendamilUK & @dunnesstores encouraging and promoting "baby milks" in order to win cash prizes - a breach of the law & the Code.
BFLGI will complain to @the_asai + @FSAIinfo
If you want to stop this marketing complain too!

Even @MichealMartinTD believes the State should own the National Maternity Hospital - not a religious order. #KeepYourRosariesOffOurOvaries #MakeNMHours https://t.co/d8G8ypCS7v

.@Entirl paid €13.2m to 6 formula companies in Ireland since 2014...€4.43m to Danone alone.
Great article by @ellieobyrne1 about the complicated reasons Ireland should, but doesn't (yet!), regulate the advertising + marketing of infant formula. https://t.co/4Ov6bzPEOO

A reminder that despite the PR blitz for the NMH on @RadioBrendanRTE and On the Record with @gavreilly on @NewstalkFM no one has been able to explain away or tank over the following sticky points to restore trust in the plan for the new National Maternity Hospital

An opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of all the @CoombeHospital
Midwives, who are offering choice & making a real difference to Irish maternity services #waterbirth https://t.co/8fMHQ0QN1V

[MidwivesAssociation #VaccincesWork @MidwivesIreland]

Indeed this is something to celebrate, confirmation that #waterbirth #waterimmersion is a safe choice for mothers & babies in Ireland.
'Neonatal complications were uncommon following use of WI for labour or birth and were similar to standard care.' Well done @midwifepaula et al.

[Charmaine Scallan @CharmaineScal]

We did it!! We have had our first Water Birth in Wexford General Hospital 💦 Well done and thanks to our Midwifery team and colleagues for all their hard work and support to get to this point👍 @WexGenHosp @IEHospitalGroup @eilis_redmond @midwifepaula @BoneAllison @cariosamurray

@Uber_Support money was taken from my account twice. Because I didn't notice in two days I got an email back from you saying you were not giving it back.the money physically left my account on Thursday and then another lot left on Friday. I want my money back.

The extension to maternity leave is not idealistic, it is essential - ⁦@laurholland⁩ writes about how the extension is essential for women, to transition back into the workforce, and also to avail of vital services they haven’t been able to access. https://t.co/z3KslgpMmc

[Womenscouncilireland @NWCI]

Important vote this evening. We are urging all TD's to support the motion to extend maternity leave for mothers who were on maternity leave during lockdown @matleave2020 @ClaireKerrane

[Claire Kerrane TD @ClaireKerrane]

Disappointing to see 14 of the 36 women elected to the 33rd Dáil vote against an extension to maternity leave for those mothers who have faced so many challenges during their maternity leave because of Covid19. The @matleave2020 campaign will continue and intensify.

[Extend Maternity Leave 2020 @matleave2020]

Reannoucing an already planned measure does NOT address the issue we and our 29000 supporters have been campaigning for #ExtendMatLeave2020

Plan for three extra weeks of parental leave faces backlash for 'falling short' - https://t.co/nfgwc5vxeF https://t.co/e9KOXfZ15J

[Paula Solan @JadichOOB]

@1GaryGannon @matleave2020 Well said @1GaryGannon #ExtendMatLeave2020

[Paula Solan @JadichOOB]

@FNDuffy @NWCI Do we have your support in the motion tonight and vote on Thursday 16th? #ExtendMatLeave2020

[Jennifer Whitmore TD @WhitmoreJen]

Govt need to listen to mothers when they make their decisions on maternity / parental leave. The announcement yesterday will not meet these mothers needs. #extendmatleave2020
