Last Monday, Maria was on Cormac Ó hEadhra's brilliant weekly current affairs discussion programme, Mo Thír, Mo Thuairim, on @TG4TV . They squeezed in a shout-out for @an_saol and teachansaol.ie/about. Thank you! @RTERnaG @RaidioRiRa @Raidiolife lnkd.in/p/d7PKFWHE

There is an urgent need for specialist care for people with severe Acquired Brain Injury in Ireland. #TeachAnSaol offers a national solution aligned with Sláintecare. Would really value the support of all Dublin Central by-election candidates in raising this during the campaign.

#TeachAnSaol has disappeared: instead of building the dedicated centre for people with severe brain injury, the HSE now propose shared space for An Saol in a generic building. No mention of respite or supported living — contrary to Govt policy. Families deserve answers.

Last week, on a cold & windy night, @bankofireland Gala and @bazashmawy met @an_saol Foundation - Life and Living with a severe Acquired Brain Injury @MansionHouseDub. Wheelchair lift didn't work - eventually wheelchair users got up via restaurant and had a brilliant time.
