There is a crisis in healthcare for Endometriosis patients in Ireland. Thousands of patients are in crippling pain, suffering the high cost of having little or no access to treatment. Please spread the word about this documentary screening this Thursday at the IFI in Dublin.

It's utterly depressing to grind yourself to pulp creatively and physically for a job and get paid pittance for it. But I choose this profession so I won't dwell on that part.But here's a question: why DO we pay artists and arts workers so little?Is it because we don't like art?

But, see, this was not an independent show. It had the night and resources of our national broadcaster behind it. So why are the management costs so much higher than the creative costs? Surely it should be the other way around.

So effectively, RTE, the only game in town, really, has always had the monopoly on what they pay writers. From Fair City to indie drama to comedy shows and, well, big commercial musicals. And that's a big problem.

I made my peace with the pay and got on with the gig. The show must go on and all that. But what was sorely missing at that time was any level of protection for my rights and value as a playwright. There is no collective bargaining in Ireland for artists, no agreed minimum pay.

What you see highlighted is the costs of paying a creative team versus management costs. In independent theatre, management costs can cover a lot of things: set construction, scenic lx, crew, rehearsal costs, publicity, marketing transport, accommodation, flights, etc.

He said something about me being his girlfriend and alarms in my head screamed. I told him I had a boyfriend, and politely said good night and got the door closed as quickly as I could. I was terrified. There was no lock on the door so I had to move furniture against the door.

Any day I make it up this hill is a good day. Fatigue gets worse by the week and I’m so tired of being tired and in pain. Countdown is on to my surgery. Which I have to leave Ireland for. I’ll get to that next. #endometriosis #endowarrior #healthcare #women

Men win, women lose. The story continues, the wheel keeps on turning. The judicial system is biased male and doesn’t offer justice of any kind. #paddyjackson #Belfast #trial #TimesUp #MeToo #Ireland

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay2019 Every day, I live with and manage depression, anxiety and PTSD. I’m not weak. I’m strong. I take care of myself. I didn’t always. Reach out and talk to someone...you’re worth it. Good mental health is everything. ❤️

Run, don't walk, to get tickets to see Fun Home at @GateTheatreDub directed by @RoisinMcBrinn I saw it on Broadway but it slayed me even more this evening. I've never seen an Irish audience jump to its feet so fast for standing ovation.

My five-year-old daughter, after a long line of questioning about how women are suffering under the #8thAmendment and the #8thref vote next week, said, "Can Santa help with it?" I am slain. #repealthe8th #Together4Yes @Together4yes @repealeight @artistsrepeal8

Also: who could turn down the chance to write Toy Show: The Musical?! It was such an exciting and magical opportunity, one I was thrilled to be given the chance at.
