I am trying to give her a small bit of praise but she cannot even take that.

The Government let down St. Gabriel's during Covid. I opened a room in my office to assist with disability services when the Government ran to the hills. Now those affected have a place in which the Government is going to invest but it would not have invested unless the likes of Deputies had reached out to help people with disabilities in their areas. The Government jumps in when it is shown up. Thank God for social media because it now shows the position of the Government and its failure. We are not getting on RTÉ even though people pay television licence fees that go towards it. However, with social media we are now able to catch out the Government on the positions it holds.
