I am delighted and very honoured to have been appointed by Minister @AnneRabbitte to the Disability Stakeholders Group for a 3 year term. Looking forward to bringing my lived experience to the table & helping to monitor the National Disability Inclusion Strategy.
The heavens got a new angel today, an Irish one at that. One whose voice lit up the sky long before he went to heaven. One whose voice moved the hearts of people around the world. Glen was angelic and mystical. He was kind, loving, and talented. He leaves behind a family, a legion of friends, like Bono and my sweet brother, bobby who just hung with him in a pub in Ireland, connecting the way one does in a pub in Ireland.
Glen sang at both of my parents’ funerals. At my mother’s, he sang “Forever Young” while our Special Olympic athletes placed their medals on top of her casket. At my father‘s funeral, he sang with Bono and the entire church was transcended. He will be forever young, and he died way too young.
To those for whom he was family, my heart goes out to you. To those who love his music, keep listening. to those who believe in prayer, a new angel is up there to pray to. Amen. ❤️🩹

@philipnolan1 Congratulations, Philip! It's really great to see you regaining your independence & growing in confidence! Here's to a brilliant summer ahead.
@sinead_ryan Could write a book on this Sinead! Recently received an appointment letter asking to phone to confirm if I was and/or wasn't attending. Voice mail was not working for days! Eventually, I made contact to confirm I was going to attend. Big waste of time & resources!
28 years on, #PrincessDiana’s empathy still echoes. She didn’t just challenge #HIV stigma around— she reshaped the public’s understanding of the epidemic, one hand-shake, one conversation, one act of kindness at a time. We honour our late Patron today by continuing that work.
@GillSherratt23@mandacoughlan Incredibly sorry for your immeasurable loss Gillian. Your beautiful boy made a huge impact in his, much too short life. ❤️ Sending you & your family love. Rest in peace & power Harvey.
🗣 "I'm sending the message out to our supporters that we're at home, it's our home ground and we want to hear them the next day and hear every single last one of them."
