In 2019, my food business secured me a place on an EU-funded business programme between Ireland and Wales.

We spent time in Wales building relationships, sharing ideas and representing Irish artisan food on an international platform.

When I started The Gluten Free Kitchen Company, I simply wanted to create food that was safe, honest and uncompromised. I never imagined it would open doors to cross-border trade missions, international expos, government rooms and policy conversations.

From Milan Expo in 2015…Berlin, Brussels, London
To Ireland-Wales in 2019…
To advocacy at national level today…

Food has been my vehicle.

Not just for business - but for education, representation and systemic change.

As a woman from Kerry building a multi-award-winning free-from brand without compromising ingredients for shelf space, I’ve learned this:

When you build with integrity, the opportunities come - not always easily, but meaningfully.

Grateful for every door that opened.

And determined to keep opening more - for the next generation of food producers who refuse to compromise their values.

We all deserve accountability and transparency 👇

14/02/2026

In 2015, I attended Expo Milano as part of a case study into my business model.

I was also invited to the Bord Bia Village at the Expo.

There, Ireland proudly presented itself as a self-sufficient island - a country capable of producing quality food to feed our people.

So I have to ask:

If we are self-sufficient…
Why are our supermarket shelves dominated by ultra-processed foods?

Why are school meals failing nutritional standards?

Why are we importing 80% of our vegetables when there are reportedly only around 60 vegetable farms left in Ireland?

Why are fruit and vegetables shipped across continents while Irish land lies underused?

Why is meat labelled “Produced in the EU, packaged in Ireland” - with consumers left unclear about origin?

Why must families choose between:
• Free-range or caged
• Organic or affordable
• Quality or cost

Why are we forcing people to choose between their health and their pocket?

When I carried out R&D to enter supermarkets between 2016–2017, I made a decision.

I would not compromise my ingredients.
I would not dilute quality for profit.
And I would not pay for shelf space that would ultimately inflate the cost to consumers.

Education begins with informed consent.

Consumers deserve transparency.
Children deserve real food education.
Schools should be teaching:
• Home economics
• Food sourcing
• Growing fruit and vegetables
• Understanding food labels

Multinational corporations cannot continue misleading customers while lining shareholder pockets.

Ireland has the land.
Ireland has the knowledge.
Ireland has the climate.

So what’s stopping us?

This is why I continue to speak out.

Healing should never be a luxury.

On March 8th, at Cneasú the Podcast Live, we are gathering survivors, advocates, educators and community members to have the conversations that change culture.

But not everyone who needs to be in that room can afford a ticket.

If you are in a position to do so, please consider donating €30 - the cost of one ticket - so we can offer a place to someone who is unwaged and would truly benefit from attending.

This movement has always been grassroots.

It has always been community-led.

And it has always been about showing up for each other.

Your €30 could mean:

✨ A survivor feels less alone
✨ A woman navigating illness feels supported
✨ Someone in recovery feels seen
✨ A community grows stronger

If you cannot attend, you can still be part of the impact.

🎟 Donate a ticket here:
https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/cneasu-the-podcast-live-at-the-pavillion-tickets-1909745794079?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios&sg=f2260d38046f70d59408012388c935d567fcd6872a75f4d535c101d37f805aff3c3c068016e4a7603ce69d42ab54d9a72227a23be767538068736f0532a15ae41887813cced9e8124ef17889c4

You can also donate through idonate, bank transfer or Revolut.

Community starts at home.

Let’s make sure no one is excluded from healing because of finances.

Another trip to Leinster House for more campaign work ✨👇

Back at Leinster House.
Third time since July 2025.

Cneasú began as a healing space and has since joined forces with other independent campaigners.

Because healing does not exist in isolation from the systems that shape our lives.

This visit centres one clear issue:
Banning counselling notes in criminal trials.

Because therapy is not evidence collection.
Therapists are not forensic investigators.
Counselling is confidential, trauma-informed care.

Survivors should not have to choose between therapy and justice.

But here is the uncomfortable truth:

Government TDs and Ministers are paid to sit in those chambers.

Survivor advocates are not.

Many of us are navigating layers of trauma.
Many of us are unable to work consistently because healing from abuse, medical trauma, and systemic failures is not linear.
Many of us are funding travel, time, emotional labour, and advocacy ourselves.

And yet - we are still the ones showing up - holding each other up & pushing reform.

That imbalance matters.

Because when lived experience is unpaid, unsupported, and yet expected to carry the weight of reform - something is structurally wrong.

It should not take shredded counselling notes delivered to government departments.
It should not take courtrooms.
It should not take organ loss, medical dismissal, international travel, and a decade of advocacy.

It is 2026.

Survivors should not still be fighting to protect basic therapeutic confidentiality.

They say everything happens for a reason.

But abuse is not destiny.
Systemic failure is not fate.
Retraumatization is not reform.

Cneasú stands for:

• Healing rooted in safety
• Survivor-informed legislation
• Trauma-informed justice
• Prevention over damage control
• Dignity without negotiation

Healing is not passive.
Healing is structural.

And structural change is overdue.

Something needs to change.

When our government votes to keep the status quo instead of holding leadership accountable, it’s Irish food producers and customers who pay the price.

Failing to remove the chair of Bord Bia sends a clear message: optics over reform.

Our farmers, artisan producers, and consumers deserve transparency, accountability, and leadership that protects Irish food integrity — not political protection.

Ireland can do better. 🇮🇪

Bad news tonight for farmers, consumers, accountability and the reputation of Irish food as Dáil adopts government counter-motion on call for chair of Bord Bia to step down.
Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Independent & Soc Dem(!!!!) TDs reject the Sinn Féin motion and turn their backs on Ireland’s family farmers.
The battle against double-standards will go on.
You cannot chair the body charged with promoting Irish food while heading a company that imports Brazilian beef!

While wheat, barley and rye are the big names when it comes to foods that contain gluten, you might be surprised by some other foods that contain it.

Always check for ingredients highlighted in bold and for any ‘May Contain’ warnings on food packaging.
