Children are waiting years for basic therapies across every region.
This is not an isolated issue. It is a national failure.
Primary care needs proper staffing, not excuses.

I’m very glad that funding to address flooding at Beach Lane, the Burrow #Portrane is included in this year’s local roads budget, which will hopefully assist local residents, especially some older pedestrians who have faced difficulties, better access their homes.

But Sean Binder & his peers should never have been put through years of legal stress for trying to save people’s lives - the weaponisation of law & criminalisation of humanitarians must be called out & stamped out.

I am relieved to hear that Heba, Kamran and Lewie, of the Filton 24, have ended their hunger strike.
I call on Taoiseach and Minister for Foreign Affairs to have the difficult conversation with British government about their treatment of Palestine Action activists, so this doesn't happen again.

People in positions of power and influence should mind what they say. Words carry meaning and affect how people behave. In a country where 14 cyclists were killed on the roads last year, it's not right for a judge to call cyclists a "nightmare". He should withdraw the remark.

The govt's targeting of family reunification law in its measures to fix the creaking immigration system are callous.
Family reunification was available to only 600 people last year.
Making the laws around it harsher is nothing less than performative cruelty.

Some now can’t even afford to charge their mobility aids.

Very glad that @irishrail.bsky.social recently provided pedestrian safety bollards at #Donabate railway station, but unfortunate that they have been vandalised. Overall though, we need to see improved pedestrian and cycle permeability in and out of the station and I’ll continue to press for same.

In light of the fake images generatef by Grok, how can the Taoiseach reassure parents that EU regulations will protect them and their children when the EU Commission is pushing for total digital deregulation?
The Government must enforce strict regulations on tech platforms in Ireland.

How do they get away with this stuff? They’re either purposefully misleading, or just blatantly ignorant to the facts. Family reunification accounts for less than 1% of inward migration to Ireland. It just means a traumatised person gets to be with their spouse or child while they restart their life

Living with a disability brings extra costs.
1 in 5 disabled people live in persistent poverty. Yet the Government removed supports instead of delivering a cost of disability payment.
This is about dignity, respect and real support. A modest, targeted payment would make a meaningful difference.

Dublin is tough to navigate for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers alike.
Frustration leads to mistakes, but a judge brandishing all cyclists as “a nightmare” is outrageous.
Safer streets need patience, respect, and shared responsibility from everyone.

Had a quick chat with RTÉ earlier today about Judge O'Donohoe's reckless remarks about cyclists. He's free to make as many golf-club-bore comments as he wants in private, but careless talk like this is dangerous coming from him in an official capacity. He should withdraw.

Hundreds of thousands of vile sexualised non-consensual images of women and children have been created by Grok, X’s AI tool.
This isn't just horrifying – it's illegal.
The Govt response to this has been muted and confusing.
When will X be prosecuted?
