What Simon Harris wants you to forget:
The financialisation of housing (via real estate & vulture funds) led directly to homelessness.
Our research, published in an academic journal showed it.
Housing policy made by Harris' Government caused homelessness

Today is the fourth time I've spoken to the UN General Assembly as president. And it will be my last.
After over 50 years of public service, I decided it's time for a new generation to take our nation forward.
Because some things are more important than staying in power.

Great to see the signing of an agreement between @NorthwellHealth and @MaynoothUni on advancing nursing in a digital age.

On @SaturdayRTE more about A/E failings. We need to recognise that primary care shortages drive ED crowding, and that effective EHR's save money. These ought to be a priority for @HSELive and @roinnslainte

This is an extraordinary failure of accountability, with several elementary errors. There is no sign that @roinnslainte has learned from this.
It will come at about €3 billion, when fitted out and working - the most expensive hospital yet.

Despite extremely difficult circumstances, more than 560,000 children in Gaza have been vaccinated against polio during the first round of our emergency campaign.
My gratitude to health workers, partners & all involved to ensure we reached 90% vaccination coverage.

Up to 25% of #COVID-19 cases in hospitals are acquired after admission. A new study finds simple measures like testing on admission and staff wearing N95 masks could save lives and reduce overall costs.

It's true, I am living beyond expectations, I value every day and try and put them to use. I also get sick a lot which slows me down which is frustrating.
My illness doesn't define me, I was bustin' Revenue and SW balls before I got ill, I stayed at it, it's important.
He should be dead. No, seriously, he should be dead. But there he is still fighting illness and injustice.

Credit to @US_FDA for moving up the timeline for #COVID19 vax updates. Yet the map below shows why this was still a policy failure. An update that comes AFTER this much spread, can’t be considered a success. We have to acknowledge Covid isn’t behaving like the flu.🤷🏽♂️

🚨 Why do parents accept so much sickness?
It's not difficult to clean the air in schools.
We'd complain if our pets came home sick and coughing from daycare 4-5 times a year !
