The points made by @Power9Helena are crucial, I really hope government are listening!
My first time meeting Helena was when she addressed the Dáil for @women4election IWD event and she had me inspired, unreal work Helena 🙏🏻 #Patrick – at Fingal, Ireland

The film examines the alarmingly high suicide rates among the Irish Traveller community through the deeply personal story of 12-year-old Patrick McDonagh from Finglas, who died by suicide last year. You can read the President's full statement at president.ie/en/media-librar…
Listen to the Ray D'Arcy show at 3 pm to hear Bernie Power, and I speak around the documentary that has been shown tonight on RTE One.

“I had to reach out and ask for help. And I glad I did”

We stand firmly opposed to all forms of discrimination and racism. The actions those involved in yesterday violence in Dublin, does not represent the Irish people.

We we're so honoured to attend the preview of a young Traveller boy. This will be aired on RTE Monday @ 9.30pm. An emotional & heartbreaking story told by his Loving parents. We we're all brought to tears as Patricks beautiful life ended abruptly.
