Desperately sad to hear the news of Vicky Phelans passing. I was honoured to have met her in March 2020 at @odvss International womens day event.
She was a brave, strong inspirational woman.
Another woman who was let down by our country. 😥
Today we all feel the grief 💔
It was an honour to be involved in last nights event as @peterburkefg launched the @women4election "Supporting more women for Local Election in Offaly". It was such an empowering evening to be surrounded by so many inspirational women 👊

Watch @HollyCairnsTD castigate @rodericogorman & the whole FG/FF/GP government for its appalling treatment of #MotherandBabyHome survivors contrary to the recommendations of their own reports and experts. Govt fails to deliver justice again

@MHReform
"Blaming 'all of society' in the Mother and Baby Homes' Report is a blatant cop-out and insulting to survivors."
@SocDems are calling on Government to:
1️⃣Correct the findings of the Report
2️⃣Pay proper compensation
3️⃣Finally hold the Church and State to account.

It was an honour to open @odvss 25 year anniversary conference. It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many inspirational people many of whom bravely shared their stories, and I was delighted to beable to speak about my work with ODVSS since being elected to @offalycoco
I was delighted to attend the @OffalyComNaNog AGM. It is so important that the young people have a voice in the development of local services and policies. It was fantastic to see so many young people there today willing to get involved.
.@women4election are launching a campaign that will include training to encourage and support women from across #offaly to enter into and succeed in politics.
The campaign will be launched by Minister Peter Burke and include a panel discussion of local and national politicians.
The Period Poverty initiative introduced by Social Democrats @CllrClareClaff last year has successfully been extended!
