And in 2029 those 16 year olds will be eighteen and voting for the first time in the 2029 general election.... This is FF/FG taking €7m of state money and using it to fund their own re-election.

Research is so important for cancer, well done and thanks to all the researchers involved

Shane Rothwell, from Blanchardstown, Co Dublin, contacted several hotels across Ireland in an attempt to book a one‑night break. Not one could provide a ceiling hoist, which he needs to transfer safely from his wheelchair to a bed. Mr Rothwell, who has cerebral palsy, told the Irish Independent: “I was surprised. I knew it was bad but I didn’t think it was this bad. A €200 stay becomes €1,000 when I have to hire a hoist and pay two support workers.” The disability activist said the process was “mentally challenging”, adding: “I felt there’s no place for people living with disabilities in this world. Why do we have to go an extra mile when trying to book a hotel? “I need to book a hoist and if I’m ­using a manual hoist, I need two support workers, which I have to pay for.” After compiling a list of hotels ­unable to provide hoists, he proceeded to contact several taxi companies and, across different dates, couldn’t secure a wheelchair‑accessible taxi. Ireland is “behind” in “terms of development”, Mr Rothwell said. “I want to start seeing changes and the Government to be more invested in accessibility,” he added. As things stand, we’re not treated equally If disability access and inclusion were prioritised, he said, disabled people would feel “needed and included in society”. Equality ‘on paper’ means little without real access #DisabilityRights #Equality independent.ie/irish-news/wh…

Just now… thanks

This is a devastating, disturbing read, the poor little boy, how anyone can be so cruel is incomprehensible, they should never be allowed out, pure evil

Today, we launch #CancerNeedsTrials. Cancer trials give patients access to tomorrow’s treatments today — but in Ireland, access is limited and funding is a barrier. We’re calling on the government to invest so more patients can benefit. Add your voice: bit.ly/4nos5iL #CancerNeedsTrials #CancerTrialsIreland

“I believe that the European Union will find it extraordinary difficult to ever be a union in any sense again when some of its strongest members are deciding to stay silent in watching emaciated children in what is a human, man-made, really atrocious infliction on people.”
