I’m looking for a favour. I’m struggling with isolation like you all but really missing the company. I was also enjoying most of the letters that I received so I have a request. Can you write to me? If you feel like using one of your An Post postcards then great. Letters welcome.
If you are shopping over the next few days, think of elderly or vulnerable people in your life, or those in #selfisolation. Could you help them by picking up a few bits they need?
The Government and supermarkets are advising against panic stockpiling of food and goods. #Covid_19
AOTI calls for an end to the current panel system of recruitment of OTs in the HSE. We support the development of a new fit for purpose system. #Election2020#GE2020#Ask4MoreHSCPs
@ScotRail your 19.19 and 21.05 services to Dundee are an absolute disgrace. No seats available at the second stop for either service for the past two weeks and now again this week. The nerve to charge customers to stand for the guts of an hour #putonmoretrains

“They are the most vulnerable people in many ways that we have, these small little children. They have an opportunity to be independent... We are storing up huge problems of dependency” – Brendan O’Connor on waiting lists for services for children with special needs #latelate
