The WoH's campaign ask is simple: "We are seeking a Statutory Public Inquiry into the atrocities that occurred and continue to happen in the Irish Defence Forces." I fully support these women's ask - which is the least deserved, and sent a letter to the Minister as such✊☑️

In 2002, the vast majority of Irish people disagreed with decriminalising cannabis use. Only 21% of those polled were in favour of decrim. Now, those against, are in the minority at 31%. Ireland is still operating in line with these older views. It's time for change.

Sitting in on the #BetterMaternityCare campaign - they have one single demand: The return to pre-pandemic level of access across all 19 maternity units! It's infuriating that women's rights are STILL being dismissed, 19 months down the line we should be doing better.

We are Irish, we have been dealing with rigged all our lives this is no different. We stay the course, we inform and we don't let this fail. I believe the side we are on is the right side off this argument. All these other countries can't be wrong, stay strong ✊✊

The credibility of the Citizen’s Assembly on Drugs has been totally undermined to a point which raises the question of whether it’s fit for purpose? Is a boycott better than dealing with a rigged process? @r_crainn @b_minish @SenLynnRuane @AddictionsPMC @NatalieORegan1

The Medical Access Cannabis Program is highly restrictive. It currently helps less than 30 people. Recently Patrick Moore was sentenced to 5 years in prison for trying to help people by donating medicinal cannabis. MCAP must be expanded. Release Patrick and change the law.

Well #ResignLeo is certainly on everyone's thoughts🤔 It's only a matter of when @LeoVaradkar the ⏲ is ticking!! To think School children will be reading about all this in history class constantly convinced that they are reading a good @martinscorsese script, what a legacy👌

Sean McNulty, my fantastic intern, is unfortunately finishing up his placement in my office. He has been dedicated and delightful for the last several months, working with me to fight for you. Perhaps in ten years we may see his face representing his county!

Three weeks ago, I tackled An Taoiseach in the Dáil & requested that he make a surprise visit to UHL and Ennis Hospital. He didn't heed my words. Instead to much furore & fanfare, he will visit tomorrow. There are 72 people on trollies in UHL today; they will be hidden tomorrow.

“Lower support among younger age groups may be the result of younger users being more aware of the potential harmful effects of cannabis" Oh they are aware alright, they are aware if it is legalized it would be harder for the youth to purchase.

The study, published in the European Journal of Public Health, finds a “surprising” lack of support for recreational cannabis among younger people (aged 15 to 24 years) even though they are more likely to use the drug than older adults.

About 90% of hospitalisation for cannabis is down to people admitting to using cannabis rather than another drug. Can these doctors find a death certificate stating the C.O.D. is cannabis. All the issues stated come from alcohol also! Why don't you promote the effects of alcohol?
