    35 years ago I voted against the 8th Amendment. Today, at long long last I voted to repeal it. I am so proud. #Together2Vote

    Thank you Sarah McInerney for several months of absolutely compelling listening ⁦@TodayRadioRTE⁩ Hope you’ll be reincarnating in another prime slot this autumn
    Sarah McInerney: reserves her most fierce grillings for those in positions of power or wealth who appear to be spoofing
    Sarah McInerney is forensic, relentless and fierce in Seán O’Rourke’s old slot

    Thrilled and more than a little overcome. This is for all who fought over decades - thank you - and for those fighting for our basic freedom globally #ProChoice . time.com/collection/100…

    A woman introduced on #primetime as a feminist who then proceeds to dismiss and denigrate transwomen - that’s definitely NOT my kind of feminism, ever.
