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! !

[Shane Griffin @shaneg86]

@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

@Dillonnolan @epicireland Happy Christmas lads and hope the new year is kind to you both, enjoy! ☺️🎄👌

[Shane Griffin @shaneg86]

@GarNob Most welcome Gareth, will do indeed. Enjoy your break 👌🎄👌

[Shane Griffin @shaneg86]

@DavidDurney2 @FreshStartEire Happy Christmas to all and enjoy some down time too David. Speak soon!

[Shane Griffin @shaneg86]

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

@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 🤣👌

[Shane Griffin @shaneg86]

@J98Jazzy Well done again Jasmine and enjoy the fruits of your self-advocacy 👌☺️👍

#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 💜

[Shane Griffin @shaneg86]

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🤯😳

[Aidan Farrelly TD @Aidan_Farrelly_]

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

[Shane Griffin @shaneg86]

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? . . .
