Sat and watched this vote. Felt it was important to witness the Govts callousness played out “democratically.”
There was supposed to be a demonstration about this outside the Dáil today but it was cancelled because of the anti-immigration protest, which meant barricades were erected around Leinster House.

I actually can see from a little girls point of view why she liked my dress it's a long puffy sleeved milkmaid style dress. Forever more i'm dressing for the little girl gaze, she made me feel like she had just seen a princess!
A little girl made my day today, I reckon she was only 3 or 4 she said to her mammy "Mammy look at that lady"... (I was holding my breath for what she was about to say knowing the honesty of children) then she said "her dress is so pretty" 🥹. Have been on steroids all week & been feeling miserable!
Oh boy, I'm waiting to see exactly who those 78 are. I'm fuming! Jim O'Callaghan is a disgrace. He does nothing to protect any vulnerable people in our society.
