IRELAND 🇮🇪
The Social Democrats have spectacularly FAILED in efforts to REMOVE the three day waiting period for abortion after politicians emphatically REJECTED it by 85 to 30 votes
Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, World Day of Prayer for the Sick. We think of the sick, of those who work in healthcare, of families facing a difficult diagnosis with a loved one. Our Lady of Lourdes & St. Bernadette Soubirous, pray for us @KANDLEi@theway_ie
A great evening in Sacred Heart Church, Stradbally as @DavidVard is installed as the 25th Parish Priest of Stradbally, Vicarstown and Timahoe @KANDLEi@theway_ie
Of course it’s FF & FG’s fault 🙃
Never mind the 123 other Oireachtas members who also could’ve backed Maria Steen’s nomination. She needed 20 signatures — but sure, that’s the Governments fault. 🙈
A large majority of our society are completely unrepresented by these presential candidates. The Irish Government have yet again completely neglected the majority of people in this country's right to have their voices heard. We have to make our voices heard!!! #spoilthevote
@RyanCas08472289 As of the current Oireachtas (234 members = 174 TDs in the Dáil + 60 Senators in the Seanad): Fianna Fáil has 48 TDs and 19 Senators. Fine Gael has 38 TDs and 18 Senators, leaves a total of 111 members. Maria Steen needing 20 Oireachtas signatures was achievable without FF or FG.

A lovely afternoon in Stradbally Parish as they hosted a Parish Picnic Day, a great occasion between the showers to bring families together @KANDLEi@DavidVard@CatholicNewsIRL
