Delighted to have signed up to the cross-party Oireachtas group tackling heart and stroke issues. Great to see strong support across the chamber. Pauline O’Shea spoke passionately, as always, about what’s needed to improve outcomes and save lives.

We won't stand for lives lost and damaged needlessly. #StandForStroke #WorldStrokeDay
