.@abrihouse was a central figure in the disability rights movement in Ireland. When I first started to engage with the movement, Jacqui took me under her wing. This was the case for many of us, and something we spoke about yesterday as we called and texted on her passing.

A special message of gratitude to @GalwayHospice for taking such good care of my Uncle Pat right up until the end. We never truly get to appreciate you until we need you. If ever I can help raise funds or awareness, I'm always just a message away. Rest in peace Uncle Pat. ❤️
