In accordance with Article 46 of the Constitution, President Higgins today signed the Thirty-Sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018, and it has accordingly become law.
It was a privilege and honor to spend the month of May volunteering with Together For Yes. The referendum was won by the work of hundreds of people all over Ireland. It was won by a women led grassroots movement. What is that, you say? Have a look here https://t.co/WJo7kVjCNv
My eldest brother was born in 1947. He was breeched. There was no medical support and Mam and Dad lived in a cold damp slum. He died at birth. I was born in 1952. I was also breeched. I survived. The NHS and a warm safe council house saved me. I owe my life to the welfare state.

It's "incredibly important" that Ireland moves to decriminalize the abortion pill as it passes new abortion legislation, says organizer @hoeyannie: https://t.co/zLmRUenrSs
Well done & many thanks to @paul_gavan @SenLynnRuane & @fintanwarfield for bringing forward bill & successfully progressing it to committee stage-we need to root out age discrimination & inequality in the workplace #notosubminimumpay
So happy that #waterford had the 3rd highest Yes % - we worked SO hard for it. Us activists, the women led grassroots movement that have been at this for years. Pity local media frames it like politicians singlehandedly #RepealedThe8th 😒
We second that recommendation! #Spliced is not to be missed - dealing with GAA, mental health, and much more besides - all performed outdoors at @GaaBishopstown#Midsummer18 https://t.co/iOaPoAfmg0
Today I had plans to: sort out my room, go for a walk with the dogs, clean the kitchen and bathroom, and cook a healthy lunch for myself.
Instead today I: snoozed A LOT, practised putting on false eyelashes (and gave up pretty quickly) and ate two bags of crisps.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In my other life I was a theatre nerd. Then I started working elsewhere and suddenly I'm 5 years on and theatre is far away. Goal for summer 2018: go to lots of theatre.

Hope those who are uncomfortable with abortion at 12 weeks will agree that €300 can make the difference between a 6 week abortion, a 12 week abortion and an even later, riskier abortion. Barriers to access cause later abortions, so join us in the fight for #freesafelegal
