I wish Ireland could do better and support those with disabilities to access employment. The positive economic, social, health and wellbeing effects would be beneficial for society as a whole.

Three of the issues with this campaign, in a nutshell:

1. We don't need another "awareness campaign" to highlight the barriers faced by wheelchair users. We need:

- Funding
- Comprehensive policies
- Meaningful participation of disabled people in planning (also funded)
