7 years ago Mum with Dementia. Now she can’t talk, walk and doesn’t recognise us, confined to a special wheelchair. Dementia is heartbreaking for families. To anyone out there who is caring for a loved one with this awful disease I am thinking of you all. @DementiaFriends

Just got my car insurance renewal, €100 more expensive than last year. No claims, no points ever, etc, etc. Haven’t really used my car in a year. How is this possible. @InsuranceRefIre ? Are many other people getting the same? We need change in this country fast. @LeoVaradkar

A year ago today I went on a journey of change. 1 stone and half lighter - I just changed some bad habits - no milk replaced with oat milk, no sparkling water, cut out the junk, didn’t eat after dinner and continue my routine of exercise. I am chuffed with myself today.

I have to thank all my Tour America team, who are now staying behind in the office to assist customers now as the USA has banned all travel to the USA from Ireland and the UK on Monday night. They are doing such a fantastic job under such pressure to take care of our customers.
