I weigh about half what I used to - I had a haircut today, the first in three months! 🤣 Who says there aren’t good people in the world? My regular Turkish barber in Gorey (thanks, #BabySis) refused to take a cent. 👏
We will never have another #SineadOConnor and we were blessed to have her in this world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Shane MacGowan with Sinead O'Connor - Haunted youtu.be/_q7307IWwr4?si… via @YouTube
Feed the Children of Gaza, no child should be starving.
1/3. There were no cameras recording the dying moments of whole families and communities of the Irish famine of 1845-1852 The world didn’t know But we have live footage of the starvation of Palestinians streaming into our living rooms. No one can pretend it’s not happening
These are reasons why #Bessboro should be preserved, create a parkland and garden and investigate areas for burials. These are worthy reasons to refuse the planning but we will take the refusal based on other reasons as a win. #MotherAndBabyHomes 4/4
#MotherAndBabyHome #Bessboro #SurvivorStories Even after all this time many never get closure. Returning is painful but becomes a duty, a necessity as the mind can #NeverForget 💔 Locate the lost remains of 859 babies and children on its grounds
I spoke to an 89 year old gentleman yesterday who was born in #Bessboro. He visits Bessboro regularly, the compulsion to visit the place he was with his mother is very strong. He cried as he explained tracing her but she died 8weeks before. He showed me the sacred ground 1/4

Decision 2 years overdue for the 2 planning applications on the grounds of #Bessboro has been refused. Not to do with the historical nature of the property but because of the scale & mix of the development. WE ARE DELIGHTED. #SaveBessboro

So a doctor in a dress is escorted to his car because ‘he’s upset’ Meanwhile in the real world women are dying ‘because they are women’ Are we ready to stop the insanity and demand action for these women. 👇💔💔💔💔💔💔

Some say “they built Britain and lost Ireland” but Ireland had already turned its back on them; post war Irish youth unskilled taking the most dangerous jobs on the buildings for “on the lump payments” no contract, no voice, no security, seeking comradeship in the pub. #OurPeople
I met a man this evening in Doonbeg and we or rather he chatted for an hour. Retelling stories of over 40 years of life in London. The saddest tales of men who could never come home because of drink and the shame they felt. Stories of how he and others would collect money
We’ve had a difficult few weeks with dementia. Support means a chat line and various teams making decisions without meeting us. There is no help.
This hospital has Saorview, so Irish channels only on the TV. It has WiFi that doesn’t work in my room, because there’s lead. 🙄 Thanks to tethering to barely there 5G on my phone, a Bose Bluetooth speaker, an iPad, Sky Go, BBC2, and a glass of wine, needs must, and all that!
