A rollercoaster year this has been, it’s ok to feel a little shite folks. It’s ok not to feel ‘festive’ it’s ok - not to feel ok. . . I just smile and long for the ‘grand stretch’ Social pressures at this time of year can be immense on many, DM’s are open 365 P/A 💜 🙋🏻♂️ 👌 ☺️
@ChrisPenderKE@PMVTrust@KildareCoCo@tusla @RebuildingIRL Laughable really and why this out of hours services ain’t worth shite! Crisis isn’t Mon-Fri / 9-5! Perhaps, try calling them again and request they source accommodation for this young person? If there’s eligibility to after care there’s a duty on the agency to act. MOU’s needed!
@ChrisPenderKE@PMVTrust@KildareCoCo@tusla @RebuildingIRL 2/2 To substance abuse, intimidation, sexual exploitation and financial abuse through homeless services! That’s how successive / current Government @KZapponeTD - @DCYAPress & @tusla Et Al do defacto post-parenting (#Aftercare) of #careleavers - No f**king awards won here folks! !
@ChrisPenderKE@PMVTrust@KildareCoCo Have @tusla out of hours provided assistance @ChrisPenderKE ? Shambolic #Aftercare when the statutory duty isn’t shared across departments - e.g KCC for housing! @RebuildingIRL clearly identified #careleavers as an at-risk group. Yet, in practice we expose vulnerable adults 1/2
Minister @KZapponeTD with the utmost respect. Your department @DCYAPress in-turn @tusla have defaulted on statutory duties & failed to uphold the rights of children right across Ireland. Breeched legislation, purportedly to protect the welfare of children. Then this > Shameful
What do you think? EPIC plea to the Minister for CYA - an open letter: All we want for Christmas - a Christmas wish list! https://t.co/V9HErIl8G2 #nochild2020 @DCYAPress
Naas Roads Policing Unit dealing with a number of trees down across some roads in Co Kildare tonight due to high winds.
Please exercise extreme caution when driving tonight.
@Aidan_Farrelly_ Thanks Cllr Farrelly! Also, for your support throughout. . . I might not have 20/20 vision nowadays, yet I can foresee 2020 being a better year 🤣👌
#CareDay20 is fast approaching 🥰
On this day we invite you to celebrate the achievements & resilience of those with care experience
What one small thing will you, your organisation, business, family or friends be doing to show your support for Children in Care &
#CareLeavers 💜
Cherish ‘All* children equally’; not this nor previous governments! Blatant denial of these children’s right to education. An issues previously addressed by @OCO_ireland and yet the state fail and face no sanctions whatsoever! Yet, parents can face fines and/or imprisonments🤯😳
The response to @CathMurphyTD PQ from Joe McHugh is shocking.
These young people seek a very simple ask - a place in school. He has the powers to intervene but won’t.
Nowhere near good enough
This is despicable! Every year, every month and every day parents of children with additional need have to fight, fight and fight some more to afford their children equal access and enjoyment in a world their peers freely enjoy! Now is that not just blatant discrimination? . . .
I’m an ordinary man listening to extraordinary, local legendary talent! ‘The Well Below the Valley’ & ’Spancilhill’ (Live) are just fantastic👌🏼Best wishes with #MagicNights > > > @christymoore45 👍🏼
