So - she did it. Mandy completed her Million Steps for Lakers today - and with any luck you can catch the moment on the Six News on RTÉ this evening. A million thanks for all the support - and her fundraising page is still open at https://t.co/quSFGfSpzp
Mourning the truly heartbreaking loss of a “passionate feminist and #LGBT activists” who stood up for peace, understanding and community in all she did.

In 1983 eleven TDs (only) voted against the 8th Amendment in the Dail. Eight were Labour TDs. One - Eileen Desmond - was a woman. They were vilified, abused, threatened. But they stood up for women then and against the danger to women posed by the 8th. Finally vindicated tonight.
Confidence boosted by @IrishTimes exit poll. Irish voters again showing compassion and solidarity….Going to be a big day at count centres, very hopeful we will turn this poll prediction into an historic official result #Repealthe8th#IVotedYes ...Exit Poll 68% Yes..
