A few months ago, Evoke wrote an upsetting, click bait article about our precious daughter. I complained to the press council of Ireland. Evoke published the decision on their website so I’m free to tell you- the press ombudsman made his decision & we are thrilled.

Thank you @iamjohnoliver so much for your support and stance on what is so damn easy to understand if you are not blinded by the lust for power and fame.

Never Again needs to be for everyone not just the Jewish People.

No point in people kicking off about Breakdancing being in the Olympics

It’s like that

And that’s the way it is

He’s never been the same since his first baptism in Trafalgar square fountain. The one in the Thames was DEFINITELY spiritual and not a publicity stunt.

Mr. Democracy Manifest, the Australian man whose 1991 arrest went viral around the world, has died. Jack Karlson was 82

@dwiftyds I was replying to your comment where you said they can not give out previously used equipment. Just speaking from personal experience with stores and how helpful it was.

[Katie @whatkhdid]

I am waiting to be trained by a Coloplast nurse. I can not be trained until we have a toileting chair in our possession. Funding request went to RAG @ last meeting. To my knowledge, funding has yet to be granted. We’ve spent thousands upon thousands paying privately for items.

A post from Facebook. @AnneRabbitte you were made aware of this in May 22 and again in 2023. Wait lists grow and children/adults in pain & without independence as well as being colossal waste of € /bad for 🌎

[Katie @whatkhdid]

@RebeccaHegarty9 @BernardGloster Maybe there would be less emails if they addressed valid issues raised & learned from mistakes. It’s absolutely repugnant the attitude that they’re ‘too busy’ to work on fixing their own mess

[Katie @whatkhdid]

@dwiftyds The first seat my daughter was given by brothers of charity had been used previously. It was an old lecky chair we got from HSE stores so that’s not factually correct.

[Katie @whatkhdid]

While it’s frustrating and financially stressful for families it is not a patch on the pain, discomfort, distress&in many cases, lack of safety those waiting on items suffer.People in agony outgrowing their wheelchairs,unable to bath/toilet safely or be hoisted- it’s despicable

[Katie @whatkhdid]

@RebeccaHegarty9 @AnneRabbitte Shameful it had to get to this point before she would meaningfully engage. Best of luck with the meeting.

[Katie @whatkhdid]

@AnneRabbitte @fiannafail And you’re proud about this? Throw the money down a drain.

[Barry Lenihan @BarryLenihan]

The HSE & Government are being urged to make comprehensive statements after two leading campaigners resigned from a national steering group for improving children's disability services

Reporting @drivetimerte as @RebeccaHegarty9 outlines what made her resign

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

The killing and then butchering of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul by the govt should be reason enough not to take their money. I'm mentioning this in a blatant attempt to shame any other food journalist who considers taking this blood stained gig.

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

I've just received and vigorously declined an invitation to write a 'culinary guide' to Saudi Arabia, fully funded by the Saudi govt. It's a murderous, homophobic, misogynistic regime. I've been shocked by the willingness of various hospitality businesses to take their money 1/

[Access For All Ireland @AccessForAll7]

The headline doesn’t do the story justice!

What are the design flaws you say?

Consultant discovers that in the worlds most expensive hospital some of the consultant rooms have no wheelchair accessibility.

That’s right no access for children wheelchair users in a €2.2bn national children’s hospital.

Seriously!!!!!!! 😩

Paris had a few hours of terror, everyone instantly changed their profile picture to the tricolore. For months on end babies in Palestine have been burned to ash, children blown apart, starved. Well done us, recognising Palestine. Sure we’ve done our part, as we watch hell unfold
