I feel physically sick listening to the profound disrespect and lack of genuine sincerity to the victims in these remarks from Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD

40 days old and already without a mother and a foot. This is what Israel does. Murder and maim with one sole objective - steal more land by dehumanising all around them.

As a mother of a beautiful adult daughter with autism, I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of the lockdowns on people with disabilities. My daughter was placed in respite care during a personal crisis & found herself isolated and alone in a facility with limited support. Imagine the fear and uncertainty she must have felt, a young woman who thrives on routine and the comfort of loved ones. I couldn’t be there to hold her hand, to tell her everything would be okay. It was a heartbreaking experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. The lockdown created a sense of isolation and loneliness that was almost unbearable. My daughter, who relied on social interaction and familiar faces, was stripped of her total support system. The impact on her mental health was profound and lasting. What really broke my heart was the way the care system failed her and everyone. The lack of adequate safeguards and the absence of care partners laws left her feeling vulnerable and alone. During all that time, our visits through a window or at a 3-foot distance were supervised. No privacy. The experience has had a significant negative impact on her life and her overall well-being. We must learn from this. Care partners must become law in all residential and respite facilities. This would ensure that people receive the necessary support and companionship, respecting their fundamental right to family life. We must also develop a more supportive care system that prioritizes the needs and rights of people with disabilities. This includes ensuring access to adequate resources, implementing effective safeguarding measures, and providing timely support to families in crisis. Our experience must be heard to prevent it happening again. No one should ever again be isolated, alone, or unsafe. Let’s ensure that people with disabilities have the support and care they deserve. As a mother, I know firsthand the pain and suffering that can result from a lack of support. It’s time to make genuine change. #CovidEvaluation #CovidInquiry #HelpUsBeHeard #CareChampions

I'm really pleased to be here at the Cypriot EU Presidency conference on disability. A wonderful opportunity to meet disability organizations, individuals and advocates from right across Europe sharing ideas, thoughts and best practices.

This is amazing! First person on the PLANET with 76% disability who managed to finish a marathon 👏👏 Those who never give up, always achieve their dream

FAIR DEAL? After working all their lives my parents are left with €140 BETWEEN them per month to live on. €500 pm goes on fees for "activities" even if a resident doesn't want them. €140 pm for Toiletries Hairdresser Chiropodist Clothes Pharmacy House bills... @conor_pope
