This is crazy- there’s a cut to HSE capital plan this year
Rising population, more complexity of care & yet less money going into hospital beds, equipment and IT
Dept of Health’s own bed plan says it needs to build 2,900 by 2031
But plans only 143 new beds this year 🙄

A very engaging evening again in Ballinlough Community Centre at the Garda forum with @lauraharmon.bsky.social - issues around speeding, home security and match day parking on the agenda again. ImDetermined to keep pushing the issues utilising the Black Ash for match day parking in Páirc Ui Chaoimh
Motion submitted - the continued issue of Cork airspace was brought home to me with a conversation with Cork City Missing Persons Search and Recovery who do not have blue light status to allow them to bypass the air restrictions now in place by the IAA. That’s simply wrong.
If you are concerned about these cuts to our SNAs then come to City Hall this coming Wednesday at 5pm and voice your opposition to this attack on our most vulnerable in our school communities!
Thank you to the hundreds of you who joined us this evening to organise to protect our SNAs.
👉 Join us at 5pm outside Leinster House next Wednesday.
👉 Let’s get this decision reversed.
👉 Let’s stand in support of children, families and SNAs
✊ Let’s do it together.
Writing in today’s @echolive.bsky.social Let’s be clear on transport in Cork. There is no one silver bullet, but rather there’s a multitude of mini silver bullets needed to take down the beast that is over congestion and unsafe roads.
Where’s the senior Minister? #rteprimetime
Telling schools to appeal their SNA cut is a cop out. Principals an SnAs and families deserve better than an appals species that will just compound workers and paper filling. Stop the cuts now @ivanabacik.bsky.social
Cork first policy for everything but especially transport
New restrictions on drone use will soon come into effect

“Doctors and nurses… do we thank them half enough, I don’t think we do” - she’s dead right.
Back on the bike this morning for school commute. Within 4 minutes of being on the road, two cars broke through red lights to make a turn that would have been doable if they waited another 30 seconds, 4 yellow boxes blocked and lines of traffic. But bike lanes are the problem 🤷🏻♂️
Part of my chat yesterday with @seanmoncrieff.bsky.social on AI Tech on buses in Cork and how GDPR has to stop being the go to excuse especially after the Mark Wall legislation to catch illegal dumpers . Full section wherever you get your podcasts @labour.ie
193 homes approved this evening at Cork City Council - 32 of which are domestic violence refuge places
We did it!
Congrats, @aodhanoriordain.bsky.social!
The HOUS committee has just adopted the European Parliament’s first-ever housing report bearing strong progressive fingerprints, including a pledge regarding the child guarantee.

It’s frustrating enough for me as a Cork representative that the rollout is happening Dublin first, but with the amount of money already spent, it warrants an explanation.
“Cities like Derry and Belfast have powered ahead
People have been advised to work from home by the National Emergency Co-ordination Group in areas experiencing heavy rain and the threat of flooding.
#CorkTraffic Reports of a collision near Monastery Road, Rochestown. Emergency services are en route. Take care on approach.
So people should now carry helmets and hi-viz around with them in case they decide to take a public ebike somewhere?
