“Rescuing Buttons has been the best decision we’ve ever made. She brings so much happiness to our lives and everyone she meets.
We’re so lucky to have her. We’re obsessed. I thoroughly recommend adopting a homeless dog”
- Liam Gallagher
For those of you who haven’t seen this video, I’m reposting it — because people need to understand exactly how far I’ve had to go for my daughter to be seen.
This was October, outside the Rochestown Park Hotel, where Fianna Fáil were having their “think-in.”
Inside, they were talking about Ireland’s future.
Outside, I was fighting for my child’s.
While politicians drank coffee and discussed policies, Katie was in agony, barely able to walk, her hip deteriorating day by day while the State did nothing.
I didn’t confront @MichealMartinTD for drama.
I didn’t do it for attention.
I did it because my daughter is running out of time, and nobody in power was listening.
He agreed to meet with us — but let’s be honest:
It only happened because he was publicly called out in front of journalists.
And for a brief moment, during the presidential elections, there was constant communication.
Emails. Responses. Promises.
I actually thought, maybe this is it — maybe Katie will finally get help.
But when the elections ended?
So did the replies.
Silence.
Nothing.
Not one update on the consultant he claimed was reviewing her case.
Not one ounce of urgency for a girl who cries in pain every single day.
Not one follow-up for a mother who is begging — literally begging — for help.
Do you know what that feels like?
To plead with your government while watching your daughter lose her mobility?
To stretch her legs because there’s no physiotherapy?
To see her miss school, miss life, miss her future — because of political silence?
This isn’t negligence.
This is abandonment.
Katie isn’t waiting for comfort.
She’s waiting for surgery that could save her ability to walk — and the only person who can give her that chance is in Florida: Dr. Paley.
So yes, I am asking again.
I will keep asking until my voice is louder than the silence we’ve been handed.
💔 Please help us get Katie to Florida. Help us save the mobility she is losing every single day.

Fox hunting isn't Irish heritage or culture and it isn't a rural pursuit. It's a culture and tradition of animal cruelty imported from the UK by the "landed" gentry and even has British uniforms. It's cruel, pointless and not something we need to preserve. It's disgusting.
Fianna Fáil minister Jim O’Callaghan has criticised Fine Gael’s recent campaign video targeting Catherine Connolly’s past legal work, saying it’s unfair to attack lawyers for providing legal services.

Fine Gael have disgraced themselves even further.
I urge you to vote for a decent person to represent our country on the international stage.
Vote Catherine Connelly.
If you’re young, don’t think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s what they want you to believe. VOTE!!!
@FineGael Surely this is a fake account. This couldn’t be a political party that’s in government account. Fine Gael has really lowered themselves in posting this stuff. Maybe look at the real stuff that’s happening in Ireland on a daily basis like homelessness, hospital lists, food poverty
“Ireland is now the only country in the entire world that invests public money in a greyhound racing industry that is so barbaric it has virtually disappeared everywhere else.” Such a great piece by

On Friday October 24th, Vótáil Catherine Connolly.
A President who will represent Ireland with pride, courage, and integrity.
A President for peace, diplomacy, and neutrality.
Catherine will work to shape a new and united Ireland, where all our people are valued.
Vótáil Catherine Connolly 1.
It looks like Heather Humphreys and FG are going to sit back and let RTE and the crony print media attempt to win her a place in the Aras by trying to destroy the opposition. That's what a €725m bailout and €40m in tax cuts buys you.
Rest in peace Roscoe. It wasn’t just the world of F1 that was praying for your recovery. Pets are more than just pets, they become our family. Sending so much love to Lewis Hamilton and everyone that knew and loved Roscoe.
#Roscoe
Electrifying launch for the @catherinegalway campaign to elect the veteran independent Catherine Connolly as Uachtarán, uniting the entire left opposition and rallying thousands of volunteers across the country with ceol agus spreagadh 🇮🇪
