The power of street art - a thread 🧵 1. Patrick Commecy
PLEASE LISTEN 🧵 This is Prof Ronan Collins @ronancollins7 (National Clinical Lead Stroke) scathing criticism of Dept of Health/@HSELive treatment of 850,000 people in Ireland living with neurology/neurodegenerative conditions and the moratorium on recruitment …
An extraordinary and tragic admission of the outright failure of the #PDS scheme, which was misconceived from the start, and which has brought about the fragmentation of treatment centres and teams for physical disability which had taken decades to build. echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…
Spoiler alert! No firm commitment from govt to #AbolishCarersAllowanceMeansTest - but I still recommend carers to watch this from 59:00 onwards - it is very heartening to listen to public reps advocating strongly for carers. Our voices are getting louder. Ball in Govt’s court!🎾

Let’s be very clear about this ▫️299,128+ Unpaid Carers ▫️400,000 Ppl with severe disabilities ▫️1m with some form of disability [CSO 2022] ▫️Their families & friends Ignore 20% electorate at your peril. This group is looking for someone to vote for & still looking.
Time to End Means Testing for Family Carers Regional Group of TDs Proposes Motion to End Means Testing for Family Carers #AbolishCarersMeansTest Link to the motion: dailbusiness.oir.ie/motions/1364?l… Link to @CarersIreland report produced by @MaynoothUni : familycarers.ie/media/3113/tow…
"Dr Leandri Card told how she was trying to manage 191 Emergency Department (ED) patients on her own, and that she and ED nurses were “overwhelmed” on the night Aoife presented at the hospital." The absolute horror Ireland puts healthcare staff through. This is the result.

@DenisNaughten Sorry;as a carer, this doesn’t make me feel good. I see“a good man” and a wise, compassionate judge, but also an elderly parent who may still, in his 90s, be (inappropriately) the main/only support for his disabled son. Hope his taking son to doctor was a choice, not a necessity.

PLEASE LISTEN 🧵 This is Prof Ronan Collins @ronancollins7 (National Clinical Lead Stroke) scathing criticism of Dept of Health/@HSELive treatment of 850,000 people in Ireland living with neurology/neurodegenerative conditions and the moratorium on recruitment …
Let’s be very clear about this ▫️299,128+ Unpaid Carers ▫️400,000 Ppl with severe disabilities ▫️1m with some form of disability [CSO 2022] ▫️Their families & friends Ignore 20% electorate at your peril. This group is looking for someone to vote for & still looking.
There are 299,128 unpaid Carers, each with family & friends. I don’t think politicians really understand how influential they are in Ireland. A group that can win a Ref, versus nearly every political party machine, in less than 2 weeks. #CopOn
Watching the motion on support for carers, the Dail is empty. Honestly that's disappointing, it's like it's forgotten how many votes that are being discussed in those chambers. We see you all missing. #WhoCaresForCarers it isn't the state as they keep clearly demonstrating

My motion on #DisabilityJustice has just been passed by the Dáil. The motion called for the scrapping of the means test for disability payments and a living income for disabled people and I will be insisting that this is now factored into the planning of the next Budget.
@MaireadODM @ivanabacik @labour @TomClonan @HollyCairnsTD Let’s hope. The support for the disability bill would be a good starting point.
@MaireadODM @SimonHarrisTD Absolutely. Caring often takes a toll due to the absolute lack of disability services and supports. Respite is almost myth like status for many. Many of us carers develop chronic health issues , am in no doubt it’s due to the stress from lack of socioeconomic supports
@MaireadODM @ivanabacik @labour I hope she will support @TomClonan’s disability bill 2023. I wrote to her & got a nice positive reply. So let’s hope. We need that disability bill to be passed and the optional protocol, UNCRPD to be ratified. Thanks @ivanabacik
@MissEllieN @Paschald It's all so depressing - but the one tiny chink of light is the amazing voices of disabled people and carers that raged against this and the fact that ordinary decent people listened and some even changed their minds. I'm clutching on to this because I need some hope.

Sending love to my spinal cord injured friends today after the recent media hell fire. No matter what society tells us, there IS life after SCI, and it can be a bloody good one!
