Well done @MichealMartinTD and @SimonHarrisTD

He told the disabled community recently that we couldn’t afford a €400 cost-of-disability emergency payment.

Simon Harris on RTE six one news saying because of the fuel protestors “cancer treatments can’t go ahead”.

Using cancer treatment as a weapon is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

[Majella Beattie @Majellabeattie1]

. @SimonHarrisTD, I can share my journey with cancer, starting from my diagnosis at 13 years old. I can share how I was failed & why I will die prematurely due to a lack of proper care. Do you care? I don’t think so. Trying to raise concern now isn't genuine, it’s shameful

[Gillian Sherratt @GillSherratt23]

Mikey’s case has been raised time and time again in the Dáil, @conwaywalsh is constantly advocating for him and his family and it breaks my heart to see he is still left waiting in limbo.
His family had been trying to get in touch with @CarrollJennifer last year and their emails were going unanswered (surprisingly). So when we went in to meet the health minister and Tánaiste, I pulled her aside and gave her Mikey’s mam’s contact details on paper directly to her.
Mikey is most definitely known to government. His situation and his health decline is common knowledge within the Dáil, yet he is still left waiting with no plan of care. His family are advocating, and pleading their hearts out while our government enjoy a lovely long Easter break.

[Gillian Sherratt @GillSherratt23]

As someone that was in the room in the meeting with @CarrollJennifer
This is *not * what was agreed to.
@SimonHarrisTD you also know full and well that this isn’t what the inquiry was supposed to look like.
Trying to control the narrative or the scope of the inquiry makes me wonder what it is you’re all trying to hide?
Why is it that our government is always so focused on self preservation and not actually ever doing what’s right for the people it’s *supposed* to serve and protect?

When even the radio presenter Gaving Jennings throws his hands in the air with confusion.

A Car crash interview on the SNA Fiasco with Minister of State for Education Michael Moynihan this morning.

I can be very clear "we've paused the process" he says.🫣

[Care Champions Ireland @CareChampions2]

Well done to Tom Clonan for highlighting this. The HSE’s response was appalling. Suggesting a parent who has been completely abandoned by the system to someone simply 'dropping a child off' at A&E shows exactly where the problem lies. Saying you have professional empathy is meaningless when your actions prove the exact opposite. Disgraceful.

[James Donnelly 🇮🇪 @JamesDonnellySF]

The Irish government will happily spend 9 million euro on phone pouches for schools but won’t spend €30,000 a year on a Special Needs Assistant.

This is how much Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil don’t give a shit about children.

[Access For All Ireland @AccessForAll7]

Oh look the state threatening parents and reminding them of their “legal” obligation to their “disabled adult children” because the state is failing them.

Do you remember the care #referendum?

The one that wanted to make it so the state would never be held accountable around caring for its disabled citizens.

Well that was defeated but it seems the policy is still very much one the state wants to pursue.
