What better start to 2024 than @Rylan singing You Spin Me Round with @RickAstley, just minutes after midnight?
Happy New Year! 🎉

Great idea - no need to use the word caretaker though, we are not buildings! The disabled person is the blue badge holder - the person who drives is not necessarily a carer but of course could assist in testing the system if the disabled person communicates differently.
Calling all accessibility users in Dublin! ♿️🙋♀️🙋♂️ We're looking for 8 individuals who drive or have caretakers with blue badges to test our new real-time parking system. 🚗🅿️📧 Help us make Dublin more accessible for all! 🌇✨Email us at smartcity@dublincity.ie to register your interest! #DublinAccessibility #AccessibilityTesting #SmartCity

We look forward to engaging further on this legislation at Committee Stage, it is crucial for expanding the criteria around public funding for IVF and the establishment of a regulatory authority, as well as new provisions for international surrogacy @DonnellyStephen
Minister @DonnellyStephen has today announced the government decision to approve text of the proposed Committee Stage Amendments to the Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022

It’s my understanding that there will be good news from Cabinet today for all surrogacy families - the long awaited day of the legislation being published might just be here!! @IrishFamiliesTS @IrishGayDads @finegael @rtenews @PatKennyNT @finegaeldsc @VirginMediaNews
