I’m off!

Unconscionable to keep engaging here while X and Grok develop tools designed to demean, dehumanise and degrade.

👇says so much about FFFG
head in the sand with climate &willing to risk our public finances with massive EU fines

Change isn’t easy but so many simple things left undone

LUAS extension ready to go 2years ago

The Glasnevin station is the biggest and most complex of the stations.

When we spoke to TII we were told buying out in Dublin 11 would be offered on case by case basis (ie with very little transparency)…

There seems to be one rule for one group and another rule for another…

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

Almost same concerns on #Metrolink raised by those in Dalcassian Downs & that part of Phibsborough/Glasnevin

Except they live in apartments &much smaller homes

Will TII buy out those there wanting to sell?Do you have to take legal action to get an offer? https://t.co/wzeo5mO6D7

On a day where the European Parliament voted to support safe and legal abortion,

the majority of FF and FG voted AGAINST even having a debate on our laws here.

The O’ Shea review is over 2 years old and still no update or progress on making sure our laws work for women.

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

Older people & vulnerable disabled people-they’re been used as pawns in the game being played by the Minister & Pharmacists

It’s so wrong

Phased dispensing & blister packs- it’s the dinosaur of medical technology and it works. We need more of it not less

Vaccine target is 50%

For this winter we need
📍well publicised drop in vaccine hubs set up in every town and city

📍basic webpage on HSE website showing real time info on whether pharmacy has stock. Between HSE, pharmacies and suppliers this shouldn’t be rocket science.

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

Vaccine take up-where is the action plan?

Yesterday I had to ring 4 pharmacies before one could tell me- nasal flu vaccine for kids is in stock.

The HSE website signposts to pharmacies’ own websites but that’s a black hole

And just 21% kids vaccinated https://t.co/rvstPAOr7D

Solidarity to taxi drivers protesting this evening.

The undercutting of taxi meter by Uber is totally unacceptable.

Taxi drivers are workers too!

We need a well functioning taxi sector in Dublin where drivers earn a livelihood

We cannot allow a race to the bottom.

[TheJournal.ie @thejournal_ie]

This week on The Explainer: Taxi drivers have brought Dublin to a standstill in recent weeks protesting Uber's new fixed fare. What exactly is the new system, and how does it compare with the traditional meter?

I want to warmly wish @Paschald all the very best in his new role

This is a huge achievement for him and for Ireland

Long before I was ever a councillor, he reached out and encouraged me to try politics- it’s those conversations you don’t forget

Bring on the bye- election!

Paschal Donohoe is resigning as Minister for Finance to take up role with the World Bank https://t.co/ufgxG6SsBE

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

That was absolutely electrifying!

The best football result we have seen in 20years.

Thank you #COYBIG and particular Troy Parrott for being such an inspiration to a whole new generation of kids.

Never Give UP!

This is a desperate new low from CHI

And really distressing to think that this happened @GillSherratt23 @scolionetwork

CHI refusing to comment and citing “patient confidentiality” has nothing to do with respecting Harvey, it is sadly about protecting a badly broken system.

[Gillian Sherratt @GillSherratt23]

Harvey was allegedly labelled as ‘palliative’ despite three separate surgeons all recommending surgery. Harvey was never linked to a palliative care team, nowhere in his medical records is he referred to as palliative, and nobody ever even uttered the word to us.
He was not palliative, he was removed from a list with zero treatment plan in place. Now that government and the HSE are (finally) looking for answers, @CHI_Ireland appear to be uncooperative, further proving that this inquiry needs to be a public independent statutory where CHI will be compelled to cooperate.
If Harvey was given appropriate treatment, if everything is above board, why do we still not have answers??

Sr Stan made a groundbreaking contribution to this country- setting up support to help and empower some of the most vulnerable people around us

She didn’t just talk the talk, she walked the walk.

Deepest sympathies to @FocusIreland @immigrationIRL @TheSanctuary

[Focus Ireland @FocusIreland]

All of us at Focus Ireland are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the passing of our beloved founder and Life President, Sr. Stanislaus Kennedy after a period of illness. Read the full statement here: https://t.co/R19htNhslc

Over 4 years since Gov said they��d work with our bill on workplace leave for pregnancy loss & fertility treatment

Almost 2 years since Gov received PLACES report that they commissioned

And still nothing!

Great to see👇 &huge thank you @keelinodonoghue for all your work on this

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

Brilliant stuff in Parnell Park! The Na Fianna lads pulled it off in the last few seconds of the game.

Really glad I got the last 10mins after racing from Dublin Castle!

Two wins in my world today!

[CLG Na Fianna @clgNaFianna]

A magical three-in-a-row!

That’s it for Dublin Central!

Turnout significantly up on 2018 (31.8%)

And a stunning vote for Connolly.

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

A landslide for Catherine Connolly! Incredible result for our cross party movement.

Spoils are outpolling Humphreys in many boxes in Dublin Central.

Lots to do post election in working with that frustration out there.

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

The attack on canvassers & public reps at the Five Lamps this evening is outrageous and deeply distressing.

These streets belong to us all.
This attack is attack on that man’s own community.

Solidarity @MaryLouMcDonald Cllr Janice Boylan and all the other women there

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

For me, probably the most powerful image from this campaign

The O’ Farrell family had to fight an incredible 14 year battle for justice for their son Shane

Could have been cut short if FG support had come

Decency, a commitment to finding the truth- these are critical values

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

The car is packed up and we are on our way to Tallaght!

Very best of luck to the Bohs players in their first FAI cup final today!
