I’ve spent today at events about creating opportunities for young people with intellectual disabilities. My work with Trinity Centre for People with Intellectual Disabilities @IDTCD is one of my main motivations for running for #Seanad2020 #VoteMacNeill

Dropped down to Ballylongford to pay respects to Brendan and his family. Found this in the churchyard which I reckon would have made him laugh that wonderful laugh of his. @tcdalumni #brendankennelly

So very very disappointing to still see such homophobic comments today. My uncle Patrick felt he had to leave this island for London sixty years ago with his partner Charles. Thankfully they feel they would not have to today.

We supporters of @leinsterrugby looked over the precipice tonight for a number of moments that nearly pulled us over the edge. It would have had a sense of depression that pulled us mentally back to the New Zealand match in the Rugby World Cup. Thankfully we avoided it. 🙏😂🙏

Only 6% of people with intellectual disabilities are in full time employment. We can do so much better, we can be more inclusive. People with disabilities half as likely to be employed, report says
