Taoiseach urged to make formal State apology to thalidomide victims on November anniversary
Fine Gael TD Barry Ward said a protracted process was under way to achieve a “proper heartfelt apology for the failure to act by the State, a medical scheme that deals with their significant personal medical issues; and a fair compensation scheme

Finola Cassidy will speak with @fogartyc64 on @tippmidwest at 10.30 this morning.
This pic was the 60th Anniversary of the States’ failure to act on the International withdrawal of Thalidomide here. Another 5 years wasted as we diminish in numbers and health.
Thanks to all who want to keep hearing our story. So much of Ireland on the International stage this week and our little group of 40 survivors and a 65 year campaign is still getting covered.
Because so many think it's justified.

Ok. Less than 20 Dáil sitting days left this year to get this promise kept. A STATE APOLOGY FOR THALIDOMIDE SURVIVORS
Can anyone help us
GET IT DONE 💔🙏
Coming up on @morningireland spokesperson and survivor Finola Cassidy

There are approximately forty @ThalidomideIre survivors still alive - they have lived every day facing challenges most people never have to face. Decades waiting for State apology that provides supports is inhumane. Apology promised by @SimonHarrisTD in 2026. #NoMoreDelays
Tánaiste says he’s keeping his promise for the apology this year on @rtenews “This Week” @RTENewsPaulC

Thinking of all those Mothers and Fathers who lost babies through miscarriages or who died at birth leaving such loss that wasn’t ‘natures way’ or an act of God as so many were told in the 60’s, but a man made decision that caused such hurt. 💔 remembering always #waveoflight2026
