For my first tweet, I want to share some cool advocacy I got up to this year in my free-time pertaining to equality of access to a medical career

This new govt sponsored loan, would greatly improve the current circumstances faced by Irish GEM students, which is as follows: Either you have affluent parents who fork out 17-18k per year tuition for 4 years out of pocket OR you get into 68-72k worth of debt with a bank (1/N)
Graduate doctors could be encouraged to stay in Ireland through a new State-backed loan, which would be offered on the condition recipients go on to work in the Irish health service.

These tuition costs for Irish citizens are on top of accommodation & cost of living. GEM, a route which accounts for 1/3 of doctors should not be only for the most affluent of students. This loan would increase accessibility to GEM. A huge improvement on the present (2/N)

Presidential candidate Catherine Connolly says neutrality will be a bedrock of her campaign, adding Ireland has nothing to gain by aligning with 'the big powers' and that our credibility depends on neutrality and speaking truth to power.

This is how close the Israeli 🇮🇱 bombs are getting to UN troops in Lebanon 🇱🇧
Pure intimidation.
The voices you hear in the background are Irish 🇮🇪 troops.
They have no intention of being intimidated.
They stand on the side of the oppressed.
They are soldiers for peace.

Spot on. Recent HEA report showed that only 4% of Irish undergraduate medical students were from disadvantaged backgrounds. Graduate entry medicine in Ireland could be a huge opportunity to socio-economically diversify the Irish medical profession but 17k p/a fees are prohibitive

Important article today highlighting Graduate Entry Medicine fees. We have been once again excluded from support in the Budget, as fees for current first years have risen to over €17,000 per year. No access to loans or SUSI grants.

I was on FR671 travelling back to DUB from Oxford via BHX. I'm a nervous flyer to begin with but this was an acutely scary experience. Flight departure at 22:10 delayed until 00:15. 40 minute flight then became a nearly 4 hour ordeal due to #StormBetty (1/4)

I was awake since 8am FRI and didn't get home till midday Sat
@Ryanair should consider that if FR670 was so delayed by weather then FR671 should've not departed for safety until morning and passengers given hotels
