At Leinster House, we highlighted a simple reality: FASD won’t be addressed through inaction. People and services are already feeling the impact - now is the time for coordinated, meaningful action. Thanks to Deputy Marie Sherlock and all who attended.

Haven’t been on in an age and I thought it was an opportunity to big up the staff at Nenagh Hospital where yesterday I had to have my right leg lasered for my varicose veins. I had waited quite a while to get it done but a relief to have the first leg done. Thank you!

Off back home to Ireland. Thought I’d use one of my @prioritypass.bsky.social on the No 1 lounge No 1 in Birmingham Airport. What a waste of a visit. The offering is terrible and the food I wouldn’t expect in a Pound Shop never mind a Club Lounge.

Living in this glorious country, running an organisation here and have amazing friends is all part of how the Irish do things. Blessed to live in a country that, whilst it doesn’t get everything right, lets us live our lives and dreams to the full. Happy St Patrick’s day ☘️
