IRELAND 🇮🇪 ✈️

Every year since 1947, a blessing has taken place of airplanes at Dublin Airport on Christmas Day

This year was no different, despite efforts by the woke mob to cancel it last year

My wife Delia and I went to our regular 12:30 Mass in Tuam Cathedral today. Fr. Mark Quinn delivered a homily that struck me deeply because of the message and appeal it contained. This evening I asked Fr. Mark for his permission to put it out on this platform and he agreed, it’s a message that should be considered by those in a position of influence in Ireland.

'It suggests that shortening your life is the only way for a terminally ill person to die with dignity'

Powerful video from Kathleen Rogers, speaking about Motor Neurone Disease & Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia

Will Ireland start encouraging people like this to consider suicide?

Happy International Women's Day to the fantastic women on our staff!

[Lawyers For Justice Ireland @LFJIreland]

"Some eejit in government buildings said we have a better chance of getting this through if we say it's going to be held on international women's day, 8th March" Senator Michael McDowell

The so-called 'women's rights organisations' and 'feminists' in Ireland lobbying for a yes vote on international women's day are NOT representing the interests of women but instead are serving the interests of the political establishment. A US feminist Ivy Pinchbeck inspired de Valera to insert Article 41.2 in our Constitution so that working class mother's were not forced out to work in factories for pittance money and with no option but to leave their young children at home. The Clause was created to protect mother's from the greedy clutches of industrialists. The State and their agents have manipulated and lied that Article 41.2 states that a "woman's place is in the home". It says nothing of the sort. It protects mother's from economic attack and is as important today as it was when our ancestors drafted our Constitution. STAND up for mother's, women, families and our country on international women's day. Do NOT trust the government. #VoteNoNo

Launch of a new patient safety initiative @ULHospitals. The "IMEWS in the Non-Maternity setting" care bundle booklet.
Obstetric patients cared for outside of a Maternity setting should be treated as high risk.

This from @DonnellyStephen is one of the most important messages we can make and restate every week but particularly this week. People from other Countries are welcome here. In their midst are many healthcare workers. We value them we will support them. The minority minded to abuse them will be the same people who one day might need them to save their life. @HSELive

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition triggered by infection that affects the function of the organs. It is treated most effectively if recognised early.

‘Assisted Dying’ Committee: Dutch expert reveals the emerging horrors of Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in his country.

Sometimes a short news video clip might not capture the nuance of discussion at Oireachtas Committee hearings. The RTE News coverage of Tuesday's hearing is a case in point.

Prof Theo Boer had a lot to say about ‘Assisted Dying’ and Euthanasia in his own country. The big takeaway is that Euthanasia becomes the last resort for people afflicted by loneliness and fear:

‘In the past 20 years, the numbers have quadrupled and… the increase seems to accelerate rather than slow down. In some neighbourhoods assisted deaths account for between 15% and 20% of all deaths.’

‘The second development we have seen is an expansion of the pathologies - the reasons underlying a request to die … we see a shift to patients who fear years or decades of loneliness, alienation and care dependency… This expansion is motivated - this is important for the committee, as Members of Parliament, to take into account - by a logic of justice, the question as to why euthanasia is provided only for terminal patients, for example?... After all, a person can suffer very much for non-medical reasons as well.’

‘That is why we have now a law in parliament that legalises Euthanasia for all people over 74 years, with or without an illness…Their age is the only reason they can have 'Assisted Dying'. That in turn is why we now have a regulation that allows parents to request Euthanasia for their young children aged from zero to 11 years old. I am convinced it is only a matter of time before we take the next hurdle, namely, allowing children of dementia patients to request Euthanasia for their demented parents.’

‘There is a saying that people can live 30 days without eating, three days without drinking, three minutes without oxygen but not three seconds without hope. Sometimes it is the total absence of hope, either in the persons themselves or in their surroundings, that contributes to their suffering.’

For those who are involved in suicide prevention work, or in keeping hope alive for elderly people, or who are committed to caring professions which are built on hope, I recommend you pay attention to these Oireachtas hearings  (see https://t.co/sYZXiLq30d)

Attached is a short clip of my own engagement with Prof Boer at the Committee on Tuesday.

To legalise ‘Assisted Dying’ is to hinder hope and drive despair.

Thank u to everyone who attended the Sepsis summit.
Sepsis makes up 2.7% of Irish patients but 22% of deaths in hospitals.
Awareness & education are vital strategies against sepsis prevention & early intervention.
