Yesterday we launched our Act F.A.S.T. campaign to raise awareness of the signs of stroke. We were delighted to see some of Ireland's biggest news outlets reporting on the campaign. When stroke strikes, minutes matter. If you spot the signs of stroke, call 999 or 112 immediately.
Delighted my motion (on the agenda since July 2020) to introduce 30km/h speed limit in residential estates county-wide received unanimous support at tonight's @dlrcc meeting, ensuring safer #roads for all users especially children. #JakesLaw#RoadSafety
Watch #markcagney tonight at 6pm @sixoclockshow with @muireanno_c @martinkingtv3 talking about haemochromatosis on the first day of World Haemochromatosis Awareness Week! Thank you Mark for continuing to raise awareness of Ireland's most common genetic disorder

Tune into Richard Kinsella at @DublinSouthFM to hear his views on my public meeting last night. Establishing a Community First Responder Group for #Dundrum & surrounds. Special thanks to guest speakers Fire Fighters/Advanced Paramedics fm #Nutgrove@DubFireBrigade & @CFRIreland.
We often travel to emergencies in pairs, or sometimes more. If an emergency vehicle passes you, it wise to expect more, not necessarily coming from the same direction. It could be fire, ambulance or Gardai. Turn the radio down a bit so you can hear them a little better.
One crew has already tended to a vulnerable person who slipped on ice and was lying in their garden. Luckily they were spotted quickly and will make a recovery. Check in on vulnerable neighbours to see if they are okay or need anything. #Sneachta
