Very encouraging news that disability rights campaigner Joan Carthy, who is currently Advocacy Manager with IWA, is to contest the Seanad elections having being nominated for the Administrative Panel by a coalition of eight organisations. #SeanadElections

@AXA_Ireland @MargueriteBros1 @joeliveline @conor_pope A non contested claim with a team whose only job is to minimise payouts. No consideration for the stress & hassle. now been charged another €115 by carental @enterprisecares. crash itself was less traumatic than this hassle.

There's lack of investment and lack of opportunity for people with disabilities, according to Jonathan.

@dcediy Who will deliver the 600,000 additional home support hours? Need to bring equity in pay first!!#payparity

[Ruth Coppinger @RuthCoppingerSP]

I just met 2 disabled friends insulted at the €12 a week in #disabilityallowance. The govt set a benchmark during covid for what a worker needs to live on - disabled people should get same as the Pandemic Unemployment Payment. We have a €20bn surplus, this should be priority.

[DFI @DisabilityFed]

Michelle, a wheelchair user, says "I find it very difficult to survive on disability allowance with the costs going up. I would love the Government to try and live on €232 a week. It’s an uphill struggle every week when I go shopping.” #Budget2025

€336 millon increase in spending for Disability Services but we await the detail on how this will be allocated.
