"Minister Dara Callearys suggestion that people with disabilities are misrepresenting their cost of living struggles is nothing short of appalling. His comments reveal a disconnect between the government and the lived reality of Irelands most vulnerable. For older people those with disabilities and carers 'making ends meet' is no longer possible as basic essentials become unaffordable. When a single electricity bill can equal three or four times a person's entire weekly income the crisis is undeniable.

"Home care waiting lists are the predictable result of treating care as a commodity rather than a public service. We cannot solve this crisis while Healthcare Assistants earn wages that rival entry level retail. Real reform requires professionalizing the sector with a living wage sick pay pensions and paid travel time.

By the time they reached the centre they were exhausted. By the time they got home the benefits of the week were already gone. Respite should be a relief not a logistical marathon.

""The Government fully recognises the extra costs" yet slams the door on an emergency winter payment. Promising a "permanent payment" in the distant future does nothing for the people shivering in the present. You can't pay todays bills with tomorrows press releases. Telling people in "financial distress" to just navigate more red tape for "exceptional needs" while they struggle to survive is a dereliction of duty. Stop trading on future promises while failing the most vulnerable right now. Shameful. #DisabilityRights #Ireland"

"While over [--] million in public funds has been paid out in termination lump sums and "parachute" payments to former TDs and senators many of Ireland's most vulnerable citizens continue to face a harrowing financial reality.

This stark disparity often leaves those on fixed incomes suffering from severe anxiety trapped in a cycle of mounting debt and unpaid utility bills"

"Cornelius ODonovan an 82-year-old cancer patient from West Cork was discharged from hospital after major surgery with the expectation of a Homecare plan. Despite being approved for the package the service never commenced leaving him in a "black hole" of care. Although the HSE approved his care they were unable to provide carers citing a lack of available staff in the rural West Cork area. In the absence of professional help Caregiving fell entirely on his family. His daughter Sheila highlighted the immense physical and emotional strain of providing 24-hour medical-grade care without training."
