Any Irish person living with a disability know the daily struggle to secure rights that are considered basic elsewhere 😠

Rights not Charity for people with disabilities

🤯A busy day in Strasbourg, but also some monumental things happening at home!

🌊So happy that @noonan_malcolm has progressed with Marine Protected Areas legislation. This will finally allow our seas and oceans to recover and develop sustainably - and the EU is following!🐟🐟🐟

RT @greenparty_ie: “Imagine you arrive at the scene of a car accident and there’s someone lying on the road. What would you check first - their pulse or their passport?"

@GraceOSllvn rallied support for Irish humanitarian worker Seán Binder, who faces trial in Greece.

Building support and solidarity among MEPs today for search and rescue workers like Seán Binder who face spurious charges in Greece while Europe turns a blind eye to abuses on our borders 🌍

Not my first time getting stopped by French cops mind you! 😇

Long shadow of corruption over the European Parliament related to MEPs sucking up to Qatar.

The @GreensEFA Group applies higher standards of transparency precisely because the rules here are not strong enough.

Time for investigation and reform 🇪🇺

RT @cathmartingreen: The Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill has today been signed into law.

This Act will protect children, will reduce harmful content online and will bring an end to the era of self-regulation.

Proud to have spearheaded this historic piece of legislation as Minister.

Humanitarians must not face imprisonment for saving lives at sea! 🌊

On Tuesday I will host Seán Binder in the European Parliament for an international press conference. He faces 25 years in Greek prison on trumped-up charges.

@lazlopuskas @sean_binder_ @SarahMardini44 @LucaBucken @GreensEFA @GreeceMFA @greenparty_ie @simoncoveney @HMcEntee Hi Aodh thanks for the comment. One of the “laws” they are accused of breaking is using Whatsapp. There’s a reason Amnesty International has described the charges as “trumped up, unfair and baseless”.

So Greece sent the European Parliament a gift of a ship for Christmas 😏

If they really wanted to make me happy they would drop the charges against Seán Binder, Sarah Mardini and all humanitarians facing imprisonment for saving lives at sea ✊🏻

Proud to work alongside @neasa_neasa who has been a champion of truth and transparency about what is happening in Midleton & Owenacurra. Led of course by Cllr. @LiamQuaide on the ground.

Have a look at this 👇

Hmmmm. A frustrating session with the Mental Health Commission at the Disability Matters committee this morning.

The residents of Owennacurra deserve more clarity on steps the Mental Health Commission is taki…

🏊‍♀️I got to support the legend that is June Curtin (aka SnámhaíSásta) on her INSANE December challenge today - 63 swims in 21 days - all in aid of the Midwest Simon Community. A fab lady doing an incredible fundraiser!
