@Luas I was caught in this so just walked from Smithfield to Connolly, which is fine, but I notice the sign boards at every stop still listed arrival times of 4. 5 min or due! Surely you can show the service disruption message so people don't tag on and wait fruitlessly in confusion!

Great to see another important issue from the Dóchas Visiting Committee 2021 report in the Irish Times this morning. We can't wait for circumstances to force us to grapple with tricky questions. Inclusion requires us to be thoughtful and proactive

Prison Visiting Committees visit prisons to hear complaints made by prisoners.

"Concerns over the mental health of inmates at many of the country’s prisons have been flagged by prison committees, many citing a shortage of treatment options" ✍️@noelbaker1

Great to see cross party interest in the challenges facing women in the Irish Justice system @ivanabacik @CarrollJennifer and @IPRT providing essential leadership in convening this important conversation

[Irish Penal Reform Trust @IPRT]

Continued leadership from @CarrollJennifer + @ivanabacik who co-hosted the 3rd meeting of the All-Party Oireachtas Group on Penal Reform in Leinster House today. (1st in person! 🙌)

Focus of the meeting was women in prison, with vital inputs incl @SAOLprojectIRL + @NTWFIRL 1/ 🧵

@IPRT @NTWFIRL @OireachtasNews @CarrollJennifer @ivanabacik @mojoyce100 @saoirse_b Great to have the opportunity to highlight a largely hidden issue. As Visiting Committee, we do most of our work behind high walls. So important to broaden the conversation

@empoweringchnge @Bitethebiscuit @creativeirl @CreativeLivesCL Thanks for sharing @EveEarley Am exploring a new collaboration for #CreativeDataVisualisation with real social impact - Have been told "no stories without data, no data without stories" but what if we can show the data story visually? #YarnData

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

@vkeenan3 Thanks Vincent

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

@EveEarley some of my #YarnData getting a public outing!

Never imagined I'd have my work on display in @CrokePark! A visual representation of the growth of @The_Wheel_IRL over 21 years and they really showed their true colours today by putting on a vibrant inspiring event. Well done to all involved #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

Very exciting to see a focus on #Leadership and an amazing new resource for the Sector with the lauch of the Leadership Academy by @The_Wheel_IRL #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

Question I'm taking away from a lively panel on #Partnership- can mutual respect exist where there is inequality of power? The principles don't mean alot when they are not backed by appropriate resourcing #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

insightful observation we could do well to be alert to - the risk of old ways of working creeping back "as the unifying threat of Covid 19 wanes" #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

Great presentation by Dr Damian Thomas @NESCIreland Reassuring to see that the practice of real #Partnership has come a long way from its old characterisation of the suppression of loathing in pursuit of funding #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

Principles that are "lived rather than laminated" - brilliantly put by Dr Damian Thomas #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

Transferable insights already from Peter Cassells: Relationships are crucial, work from agreed principles, learn from experience by reflecting on what works and what doesn't. #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

Thrilled to be back in such a positive gathering of peers right across the sector. We'll done to @The_Wheel_IRL for bringing us together #CharitySummit

[Carol Conway (she/her) @cata_lyst]

Saturday morning excited- my craft bag all set and ready to get going on a rainbow crochet project!
