Disabled People & Carers for Connolly

A group of Disabled People and Carers supporting Catherine Connolly for the next President of Ireland #Aras25 #ConnollyForPresident

[Access For All Ireland @AccessForAll7]

We are so excited that today the person who showed so much interest in our place in society has been elected to be our next Uachtarán na hÉireann.

Catherine has made it her mission to represent and include our voices in every aspect of her presidency and we look forward to being a part of that mission!

Now that the polls are closed, a massive thank you to everyone who supported @catherinegalway , who shared our posts, and shared their stories. Hopefully once the tallies come in, we'll have a president that represents the best of us. #Aras25 #ConnollyForPresident

Off the back of our press event that was recorded but not aired here’s a reason you should get out and vote for a president who has promised to include our caring and disability community in the Áras!

Important thread 🧵

[ShadySparrow @ShadySparrow]

🧵 1/18 As a mother and full-time Carer for my two disabled children and my disabled husband, my life is defined by a constant, exhausting battle. It is a battle against a system that is meant to support us, but too often pushes us into poverty and isolation.

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

Here at DPC4C, we are voting for Catherine Connolly. For an equitable stake in the future. For transparency. For tangible change. For neutrality. For language rights for ALL. For our communities.

We hope you'll join us at the polls tomorrow. #ConnollyForPresident

Team DPC turning off the debate after nobody has asked Heather Humphreys about the Green Paper and disabled people #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

A disappointing debate from a disability and caring perspective. Excluded and ignored again. #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

DISABILITY MENTIONED #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

There's already Comhairle na nÓg. Try again #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

"Go back to your own countries" is a disgusting remark from someone who claims to be a president for all. #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

Does heather only see immigrants as deserving if they serve us? #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

It will be interesting to see if disabled people or carers come up in this debate at all. Tick tock #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

How are we doing with the live tweeting so far besties? #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

There are plenty of people from "heather's community" (seeing as nobody wants to actually say what that community is) with Irish. It's not a cop out anymore #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

"I worked very hard" just not at learning Irish #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

"The first group will be the carers" AS IT SHOULD BE #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

"She pleaded not guilty" so that's a mark on someone forever? #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

"I want to highlight the good things about rural ireland" except everyone is leaving rural areas because your government have failed rural communities #RTEPT

[Disabled People & Carers for Connolly @DPC4Connolly]

Heather Humphreys doesn't see fox hunting as animal cruelty #RTEPT
