Disabled Party Ireland is a #DPO aiming to encourage #DisabledPeople to participate in politics & seek election to have our voices heard #Article29#UNCRPD
We have finally heard back from @ElecCommIRL - We need 300 signatures from people on the Electoral Register to become an official political party to run candidates for election so that we can have OUR VOICES heard - Please email [email protected] to help achieve this
@Joan3103@DeafnotDefeated Furthermore, when you have a weak Minister for Education, @NormaFoleyTD1 who refuses to take on @SECireland to force them to individualise #reasonable accommodations instead of one size fits all @Twigser can attest to the issues that her daughter faced for the Junior Certificate
@Joan3103 Joan, when we have situations where parents like @DeafnotDefeated have to take the state to court to get their deaf sons access to #ISL whilst attending school to facilitate them to achieve an excellent education, then you know something is badly wrong#
@ILMIreland Hopefully, you will mention @DisabledPartyIE as an initiative to be welcomed to give a voice to the actual disabled community, their families and carers. Nothing About Us Without Us
Disabled people should not be restricted from spontaneous travel on rail, bus, taxi or hackneys. All buses, private & public must be fully accessible, all taxis & hackneys to be wheelchair accessible. Retrofitting of railway infrastructure to remove barriers to immediate travel
@aarondalydub@ChangingPlacesI Correct, Aaron. But there seems to be little appetite amongst "Official Ireland" to make the necessary steps. Hence why the Disabled & Carers Community in Ireland need to help @DisabledPartyIE become a reality by contacting [email protected] to register their support
#Article19 UNCRPD sets out the rights of People with Disabilities to be able to live independently - what PRACTICAL changes have been introduced into Irish Building Standards to make housing accessible for all? Simple changes at the design stage could achieve these requirements

@NewstalkFM Why not invite @MedCouncilIRL into studio along with @IHCA_IE & robustly challenge them as to what engagement has taken place with @HSELive, Robert Watt @roinnslainte to resolve the outstanding issues to address the #Scoliosis crisis. No political will to intervene
Children with #Scoliosis need to be prioritised for treatment to improve their quality of life. The resources can be provided but apparently the political will isn't. @MedCouncilIRL should be engaged with along with @IHCA_IE to develop a roadmap to resolve the impasse that exists
@Reform_of_Camhs have cogently provided the state with a roadmap to address the concerns that families have in relation to the provision of treatment of children & adolescents with mental health issues. Again, where is the political & civil service urgency to implement the reform

@SECireland must conduct individual assessments in tandem with schools to decide what accommodations need to be made, to provide disabled students with opportunities to prove that they have put in the effort to achieve the best possible result they can. One size does not fit all

@TomClonan You might oblige & repost this tweet, to encourage people to email us to assist in the creation of a political party to give Disabled People, Carers & their families a voice within political discourse. Nothing About Us Without Us. We need to be heard #Article29#UNCRPD
