“If in years to come [this boy] or some other child in the care of [Tusla] comes back and asks, ‘What the hell was everybody doing?’, I want it very clear and I want it to be known this court had grave reservations in relation to the use of SEAs [special emergency arrangements].” Judge criticises ‘shameful profiteering’ by private firms providing care placements for children https://t.co/abs9arrIZD
@paulmurphy_TD TD’s need to engage with people in their areas to encourage them out to vote not just at election time. Charlie O’Connor was a well known candidate in Tallaght because he had a sense of community and lived alongside the people going out to vote. It had nothing to do with party!
@DeniseM67887845@BothaBoy@paulmurphy_TD Not living to far away and we had one knock at our doors no major parties an independent. And Paul Murphy is a candidate for my area.
@hurleyisgod @paulmurphy_TD I am originally from Tallaght and we had one politician knock where I live now. And I went out to vote like my parents did when we lived in Tallaght you have to get up and get out to make a change.

@PaulTreyvaud I would love to see a complete overhaul that saw people in roles that they have actakkkt worked in for a long period and have some clue as to what is needed in areas of education/health/housing etc and a team under them who want and can make a change!
Its such a disgrace that our government will not support Sth. Africa in pressing charges against Israel. Very proud though to have Irish lawyer Blinne Ní Ghralaigh as part of the team. Massive espect to #SouthAfrica Nelson Mandela would be so proud💪
