Eamon Ryan fell asleep while voting against a pay rise for over 130,000 workers. Many of whom live a couple of pay checks away from not having a bed to sleep in due to the risk of homelessness. That's why people are mad, not just because he took a nap.

I grew up in a Council estate. I wasn't a very well-behaved kid either, I'm embarrassed, looking back at myself now. But we had nothing. No parks. No pitches. No youth clubs. No resources what so ever.

If someone did this to a minority family in the states or a Palestinian family in Gaza, all of Ireland would be on social media to condemn it. I want to see that same level of condemnation here. Anyone who supports this mentality is a dangerous, right-wing, racist.

RIP Killian. My heart aches for your family, in particular Papa and Yvonne. At 13, you were far too young to die. Something needs to be done to protect Traveller children in this country. If there is a God, may he show no mercy to the ones who turned a blind eye to your plight.

And while that was no excuse for me acting the maggot, nearly every kid in my estate had an unstable home life. Combine that with a sense of boredom and a lack of any social care structures, and you are going to have social issues. Especially from kids who know no better.

There are pubs in every town, village and city in Ireland that will refuse a person service due to their ethnicity. We all know. We've all seen it. And once the pubs open once more we should all call it out for the disgusting behaviour that it is.
I see a lot of you acting outraged by this because there’s a few traditional Irish names on this and rightfully so, it’s awful but can ye keep that energy and call out local Irish businesses that also do this to Travellers?

I have been given the freedom to cover some issues very close to my heart, and I am very grateful for that. Thank you to everyone who trusted me enough to tell their story. Every success I've had, I owe to you.

@paddycosgrave Your comments are making light of my success, and the success of many of my colleagues, who come from working class or welfare class backgrounds. I know better than anyone the reality of the barriers. But Tweets like this are going to do very little to break them, are they?

I would like to pay special mention to my amazing girlfriend @ericalouise_x for not leaving my said once. And the amazing medical staff who saw me, stitched me up, did an MRI and gave a private room all in under 8 hours. Take note @ULHospitals
