Jesus Christ! Do you see the bags under my eyes? I had 3 hours sleep the night before. My dad, who hasn’t been well recently, made it. My neighbours made it. My friends from school made it. My 5th class art teacher and my Junior Infants teacher came up from Dundalk ON THE BUS!!

Seeing this pic makes me so happy. Just over a year ago @RooneyRachel was telling me how she hadn’t written anything new because of how her being cancelled had affected her. Here she is signing her new book 🥳 Good for you Rachel! Here’s to creativity and not letting the

My first session at #FiLiA2025 today was about non-state torture of women and children. A French lawyer who is part of the legal team on a big case in France started listing out the description of a 15 minute price of footage that is in evidence in the case. 1st oral penetration

Brighton, how are ya? First flags/bunting that greeted me.

It’s OK, Dundalk’s on its way. Looking forward to meeting the kwares outside.

Landanah, born and bred, innit?

I am very proud of all my kids, including the eldest. But what mother wouldn’t be fit to burst altogether, watching and listening to this legend speaking at the UN? @cleancitybird and all the brilliant, energetic and smart young women and men of @NotAllGays, there are so many

There is no doubt. Already proven. SSRI's for example decrease empathy. It's calculated. Not an accident.

Very productive meeting with H.E. Minister Eugenia Roccella, Italy’s Minister for Families, Natality and Equal Opportunities today ahead of my interactive dialogue with Member States at the #UNGA80. We discussed primarily my upcoming report on #surrogacy but also femicide and

Free HRT scheme: "It is completely unacceptable that trans women are being excluded from the scheme," says @PadraigRice Why Padraig? They're men. Men who want - don't need - hormones should pay for them themselves. https://t.co/STNEjipaEO

A room full of men, gathered in New York last month to find out how to buy babies off their mothers.

This is Craig/Jenny Maguire again. This man, who seems to be suckered onto @catherinegalway these days, is an aggressive woman-hater. He plastered women’s accounts of their sexual assaults, without permission, all over Trinity College. Why is @tcddublin allowing this man who

We are proud to have supported this. Surrogacy is fundamentally incompatible with the dignity and human rights of women and children.

In the last two weeks Slovakia has banned surrogacy in its constitution and the Ecuadorian National Assembly has recognized surrogacy as violence against women. It’s time for the UK to catch up and ban this appalling form of child trafficking @DHSCgovuk

It may not have grabbed people’s attention but this woman, Mary McAuliffe, is a professor in UCD. She thinks it is outrageous that anyone would believe that a woman is an adult human female and a man is an adult human male. A professor, no less. A professor in UCD who sneered

We cannot escape emotional pain in this life. Therefore if you believe sound mental health is the absence of emotional pain you will forever struggle. The medicalization of emotional pain & a drug to deaden emotions is a dangerous ideology. No more bystanders

It takes courage to face inconsistencies and risks in one’s past positions, especially given the backlash it can provoke. If Heather Humphreys wishes to understand the issue and why what she said matters for the women and girls of Ireland, we stand ready to help fill that gap.

Europe is watching @HeatherH @FineGael. And ready to talk through the issues.
