    Brought the cailíní to Dublin for a few days and seriously what has happened our capital city? It's derelict, filthy, rubbish everywhere and gangs of intimidating people hanging around, many clearly off their heads. Not a nice place to be esp with young children. Feels v unsafe.

    As someone who experienced (not recently) a 12 wk scan alone & being told baby had no heartbeat I can say that forcing women to experience trauma like this is reckless, unacceptable, and will have long term consequences- Shame on HSE, Gov & everyone else allowing this to continue

    I see the children's shoes section is closed off again in Dunnes. This really annoys me - I can buy a scented candle but shoes for my children are non essential.

    It is simply not possible to be a barrister in Ireland unless you are very well off - especially if you are not from Dublin. If we want a diverse legal community and a diverse judiciary this has to change.

    It's been such a shite few weeks. Today we had to say slán to Ollie. My little shadow for the past 12 years. He sat on my lap while I wrote my PhD & saw me through so many changes.He was really the best boy ever - we were lucky to have him.

    FG TDs keep repeating on radio this eve that JAAB 'recommended' Woulfe - JAAB doesn't recommend - it simply decides whether any candidates who apply are qualified/suitable or not. It does not assess candidates or rank them.

    Also it makes no sense whatsoever to have 2 separate organisations. When I went to register online as a parent, once I clicked female gender for myself I could not register for regular club, only option available was LGFA, even if my child was male. 🤔

    When offered choice of home/hosp burial/crem for my baby (or the products of conception as they referred to it) I chose home burial but having heard nothing for a few weeks I contacted them to be told it had not been separated from 'the waste' and that 'happens'.

    Hard to avoid the conclusion that the full Woulfe transcripts have caused even further damage to the admin of justice. Public confidence will take a long time to recover.

    I am overwhelmed by the response to this tweet which has resonated with so many. Im grateful to everyone who took the time to get in touch and share their stories. So many have experienced this grief and agree that it should be acknowledged and spoken about. #Talkaboutmiscarriage
