Today I was doing the final Christmas duties double masked in @DundrumTC As I left I noticed a man asking for money beside a giant paper Christmas Tree. ‘For someone you lost’, he said and handed me a piece of paper.

20 years of lifesaving progress. Amazing @MaterTrauma (And some of the greatest nurses in the world in this picture.)
Today the Mater is proudly celebrating the 20th anniversary of Ireland’s first ever lung transplant. This milestone is possible thanks to the life-saving generosity of organ donors and the dedication and expertise of #OurMaterTeam. #OrganDonationSavesLives #DonorWeek25

Last month I turned 38 and ageing is a kind of luxury for an old timer like me. Now that over half of my time on earth has been dedicated to cf awareness work, I truly believe that statistics exist to be disproven. Anything is possible. https://t.co/4mxgN03AbB

Our next government needs to urgently implement a rights-based model of disability that moves us beyond the @DisabilityFed statistics that 2 in 5 people not working with disabilities are at risk of poverty, 1 in 5 people live in consistent poverty https://t.co/JXt24QsTIq

How awful that you must spew anti-immigrant hate on a Sunday, of all days, outside a church, of all places - @orlatinsley @IrishTimes [€]

@MiriamOCal @RTERadio1 @JBONAMASSA @rorygallagher @aikenpromotions @Liveathemarquee @orlatinsley All great, emotional interviews this am. The power of music, concerts, soccer to lift people, a miracle kidney transplant. Go well all. Keep advocating. Great supporters behind everyone too.

I was so enthralled with the conversation about Rory I almost forgot I was on! Now I’m listening to him for the afternoon. What a legend 🖤
@orlatinsley @IrishTimes @MiriamOCal @RTERadio1 I interviewed Rory Gallagher once and he said he isn't anyone's warm-up act but this morning you get to follow him! #toppriority

A must read for anyone who cares about patient safety. You know more than the patient about many things but the patient knows more than you ever can about their experience. Listen 👂
I am deeply grateful to be doing so well after a lifesaving kidney transplant. Ms. Toni Morrison’s words inspired my @IrishTimes piece below “.. just remember your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else..” https://t.co/Iy5rlVG7CO
