January 2021 I was in St Vincent’s Hospital on a ventilator. August 2021 I’m in the @AbbeyTheatre for the last night of my play. There’s too many people to thank, family, friends, all kinds of people from different spheres. Thank you everybody.

- It’s very hurtful. My PhD took 5 yrs of hard work. It was not handed to me. It’s certainly not an honorary. So many people assume I’m thick because of my CP. .... big mistake!
- Thanks for all of the support. I’m over the moon, I passed my Viva. I’m really, really proud. Thanks to my family, my community and all the brilliant people in my life, R x
- My hand is shaking more than usual !! Signing copies of Unsettled .... brilliant personal milestone. @SkeinPress @Aosdana @artscouncil_ie @PaveePoint
- Five years today. My world is darker, smaller and so much less xxx
- Ronnie dear friend and mentor, thanks for the time attention & commitment to our struggle #Traveller & Roma rights. You are loved. RIP
- Friend if you want to be an ally Please retweetHappy #TravellerPride in Irish Sign Language to my Traveller friends and followers @paveebeoir. There are deaf people also within the Travelling community. It's important to show #DiversityWithin minorities. #MincéirPride #allyship #equality #IrishSignLanguage
00:00 - #wallsandwindows @AbbeyTheatre @JassByrne They said I was ‘useless, good for nothing’. They put me on the corner of Abbey street rattling a box. Very emotional to have my work on in the National theatre. Thanks to so many people who reached out and helped me on this journey.
- In relation to Dermot Kennedy’s comment- Over the weekend I was harassed by a journalist to make a comment. The journalist wouldn’t leave me alone. My only comment on this matter is “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”.
- @_IHREC My first in person meeting. Looking forward to being with my fellow commissioners and IHREC staff.
- Despite all the sniggering at Leo’s visit to the Choctaw nation, recognizing First Nations people is important and respectful. It would be great if Leo would meet Traveller organizations. We have done our bit for Irish history and culture.
- Replying to @PaveePoint and @_IHRECIt is a very proud moment for me. Emotional political & cultural. Thanks so much to @PaveePoint for this empowering Traveller feminist analysis you give me.
