What better start to 2024 than @Rylan singing You Spin Me Round with @RickAstley, just minutes after midnight?
Happy New Year! 🎉
I have a bell on my bedside table that I just hit on top and it rings. It's the old basic type you see on reception desks. No matter how noisy the house the ding catches my family or PAs attention. I call it my Lillie bell cos my young neice gave it to me. Low tech solution 😀
@dunnesstores you stock Lakeshore oils, but I have never been able to find the Lakeshore Rapeseed Oil With Garlic 250ml in your Blanchardstown store. Why is this omitted?

Great idea - no need to use the word caretaker though, we are not buildings! The disabled person is the blue badge holder - the person who drives is not necessarily a carer but of course could assist in testing the system if the disabled person communicates differently.
Calling all accessibility users in Dublin! ♿️🙋♀️🙋♂️ We're looking for 8 individuals who drive or have caretakers with blue badges to test our new real-time parking system. 🚗🅿️📧 Help us make Dublin more accessible for all! 🌇✨Email us at [email protected] to register your interest! #DublinAccessibility #AccessibilityTesting #SmartCity

On the 6th anniversary of the ISL Act, it would be wonderful to see Irish primary schools following this school’s initiative re BSL in the UK! #ISL itv.com/news/anglia/2023-12-…
ISL is the third official language of the State so it should have the same importance as English and Irish in the curriculum.

Congratulations. You look beautiful. I wish you both a lifetime of love, laughter, health and adventure ❤️
If their Radiology Department could make a few of their new changing cubicles wheelchair accessible that would be something to celebrate 😡 @ILMIreland @AccessForAll7
