1) The time has come for those that have promised, to finally deliver. Not a single politician has opposed my request for enhanced access to The @HSELive Terminal Illness Medical Card for those of us that are dying.
Please, read on.....

2) This is An Tánaiste, @LeoVaradkar promising us reform back in 2014. Seven years later and those of us that are dying, are still having to fight for access.

3) This is An Taoiseach, @MichealMartinTD from February 4th last, complaining about the difficulties surrounding medical card access for the terminally ill.

4) Here we have former Minister for Health, @SimonHarrisTD on December 12th last, stating quite categorically there will be an expansion of access to medical cards for the terminally ill.

5) Minister @DonnellyStephen I might be well at present, but I am dying. The strength, time & effort that I'm ploughing into this campaign should be spent elsewhere, as well you know. However, until the promised reform is implemented, you're stuck with me.

6) As Minister @DonnellyStephen & I prepare for our next meeting, which I sincerely hope will finally lead to reform, I would ask all of you that read this to please retweet. Public pressure has gotten us this far & will I hope, see this through.

Promises have been made with little or nothing delivered upon.
I now say to @FineGael @fiannafailparty & @greenparty_ie, it's time.
No more excuses or reports, rather change that will help those of us living our final chapter, to do so that little bit easier.
