I'm angry reading this. Powerful from @JohnFogartyIrl re his daughter and the endless struggle in Ireland to access the level of care the most vulnerable need. It's shaming of where we are as a country to be honest

I had to send in a #CarersAllowance review form today, and I have some thoughts on the matter. Some bad-tempered thoughts, obviously. Many of you might not know that CA, in all its (€248minimum/ €429maximum) glory, is a means tested payment which is ALSO a wage. Those -

“Having adequate support for children with mental health problems, additional needs, and social and communication problems should not be considered a luxury or something exclusive to the Nordic countries; it should be a fundamental human right”
The parents of children with additional needs, who have no school places this school year, have staged a protest outside the Dáil. They say their children are regressing developmentally because they can't get an appropriate school place in their area.

Antes de la Cumbre para la Paz en Ucrania, me reuní con el primer ministro de Irlanda @SimonHarrisTD, con quien esperamos acrecentar la relación comercial y cultural entre ambos países, con la actualización del Acuerdo Marco Avanzado con la Unión Europea. La defensa de los derechos humanos es un valor que ambos compartimos y en nuestra historia reciente hemos conocido de la solidaridad de Irlanda. Hoy, con ese mismo espíritu, bogamos por el respeto al derecho internacional y nuestro apoyo a la solución de dos Estados ante la guerra en Gaza.
Good to meet with the President of Chile @GabrielBoric today. We discussed our countries historical links, our shared values on human rights & upholding international law & the wish for both our countries to work closely together on trade & education

It's #CarersWeek in Ireland & UK. I'm 2 yrs out of that role after nearly 18 yrs in it. While thinking of #carers, give a thought to long-term carers who at the end are left trying to restart life, lost career, no income, now aging & health issues of their own. What of them?
"I urge Govt and the HSE to see respite as an essential service, not as an ad hoc arrangement given with one hand and taken away with another when funds are not available without any thought being given to the huge impact the lack of respite has..." - Moira Skelly, family carer
