Think @SimonHarrisTD , please think as a parent of young children..
While you make their breakfast, I stare at the open tin of formula that sustained Harvey’s body for the last 8 years trying to decide what to do with it.
While you tuck them in to bed, I’m trying to decide if we should turn Harvey’s bedroom light off.
While you shop for school clothes, I try to decide what to do with the large bag of new clothes I had just bought Harvey for school.
While you brush their teeth, I think about the little box of Harvey’s teeth I have sitting on his bookshelf.
While you brush their hair, I think about how glad I am that Harvey had just got a hair cut so he looked his best in his casket.
While you sit and watch tv at night, I sit and watch Harvey’s old shows so the house is filled with the noises it was when he was still with us.
While you get them a drink, I think about how Harvey was begging us for a drink but we couldn’t give him one.
While you create memories with your children, I think about how memories are all we have left, and any future memories made will always have a void.
While you kiss them goodbye for the day, I think about when I kissed Harvey goodbye for the last time.

On 18th September @SimonHarrisTD promised to meet with myself and Stephen to discuss Harvey’s lack of care. 10 months on and that meeting never happened, and now Harvey is gone.
On the day we were celebrating Harvey’s short life and saying our final goodbyes, he was posting selfies at his brother’s wedding. The same brother that supposedly is the reason Harris sees disability issues as a ‘top priority’.
In actual fact, he doesn’t care at all. Couldn’t even take the time to meet us when we were begging for help. We will never have another moment of peace, and we endeavour to insure that anyone that failed Harvey doesn’t either. #JusticeForHarvey
The last few months for Irish football:
- Sacked Stephen Kenny last November
- FAI takes 7 months to find replacement
- 4 friendlies in that time for John O’Shea to audition for the job
- End up hiring their “first-choice” manager who happens to be a dentist
- Heimir decides he doesn’t know enough about the players so doesn’t pick squad/team or do all the press conferences
- 0 goals in 180 minutes
- 4 goals conceded
- No clear structure on pitch
- Facing Nations League relegation
- Can only buy tickets in three-match bundles
Meanwhile, the League of Ireland champions get just over €100k for winning it. They also rely on European revenue where games don’t even get shown on Irish TV. Only country in Europe that happens in.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the FAI have well and truly failed Irish football.
What a mess.
IGNORED: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar walks out of a press briefing as @Ben_Scallan is mid-sentence asking about government ministers spreading referendum misinformation.
Helen McEntee intervened in a planning application on behalf of a family friend and wrongly used the title of justice minister.
The applicant had been refused permission for the same development four months previous but was successful this time around.

Someone’s Da out working the night shift tonight getting attacked for what? What’s he done?
No wonder so many people emigrate to Australia, Canada, America etc… Anythings better than having to live with these pure imbeciles
The average monthly salary in Ukraine is €620. They receive just under €1000 here per month bearing in mind most expenses are paid too
Nobody objects to offering food and board to those that need it but you are completely naive if you can’t see what paying them way above their national average salary on top of that too is insane.
It’s pretty fair to say, yes, we’ll offer you protection, but you must pay your way like everyone else once you get here.
To reiterate, the social welfare paid, is almost double their national average salary they receive back home on top of all expenses paid too
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to question this.
Man who sexually assaulted nine different women in Dublin in one month jailed for ONE FULL YEAR LESS than man who grew therapeutic flowering plant (cannabis) and supplied it to dying patients free of charge.
The Justice system in Ireland is utterly broken.
I’m embarrassed to say it but for the first time in my life I despise my government. Every day I get angrier and angrier. I work at least 80 hours a week just to try and keep my business afloat because of what this shower has done over the last number of years. Questions I ask myself every day now, which I wish a journalist with some balls would ask them are
▪️Why could we never do this for our vulnerable
▪️Why is this the first and only war we’ve done this for
▪️Why now all of a sudden
▪️Is this just a distraction so no one is held accountable for the monumental fuck up on how covid was handled globally
▪️Is there any regret for letting so many into Ireland with zero documentation
▪️Is there really no cap on how many we are allowing in
▪️Is there any plan to remove refugees from hospitality accommodation or are we happy to destroy this entire sector
▪️Will the government accept that it is them that is causing the divide and inciting hatred with their pathetic policies
▪️is there any plan to try and remove those that entered with no papers or is Leo sticking to his excuse that their own country won’t allow them back
▪️Who’s paying for all this
▪️What’s the end game
▪️Is there any plan to speed up the process of asylum seeking
▪️Do the Irish have to just sit back now and except that this is the way it is and suck it up
▪️Who’s orders are we now following. And it’s not the EU. Who’s orders are they now following
I really don’t know where this is all going to end. But what I do know is that this is not sustainable. Something will have to seriously give before the whole lot of this collapses and causes irreversible damage
