    My sister, Dr Niamh Collins, was interviewed on RTÉ News at One today. ‘Emergency departments are a place of safety.’ Victims of domestic violence don’t need to be presenting with an injury or illness to attend. ‘If you feel unsafe, come and we will support you’. Worth sharing.

    I don’t often tweet links to News at One interviews but this is an important contribution to the debate around domestic violence. Dr Collins’ comments deserve to widely shared. B

    Proud of my sister, Niamh. 👩🏼‍⚕️This is an important, landmark case in recognising and combating coercive control.

    Dr Niamh Collins, Emergency Medicine consultant at Connolly Hospital, deserves huge credit for raising the alarm in relation to the woman who was in a violent and controlling relationship with Daniel Kane. The woman described it as "taking patient care to a whole new level"

    Didn't know how thirsty I was for a book like this. Gulping it down. Three female friends in their seventies feeling oh so FRESH. And then my joy to find Charlotte Wood in conversation with on . Glorious stuff! I’ve already cast the movie in my head.

    The wonderful making a whole load of sense. Please read her thread. I know I need to read more widely so I can listen with more care. I want be actively better.

    Statements aren't enough. What are you going to do? If you need a list of UK black & Asian writers, why now? What's restricted your reading before? (We've always been here. I don't want to be amplified just because someone has died violently.) For instance... (1)

    And Dubliners, if you get the chance, absolutely check out the standout, Alan Moloney’s Windmill Lane - a fascinating look at the Dublin our parents met in and a great story about challenging a stifled Irish national identity. And the music’s alright too. ☘️
