If a PWD has a Carer, the 3 day window can infringe upon the PWD's privacy if they need help with transport. Telemedicine has been beneficial to PWD throughout Covid. This needs to continue after the pandemic subsides this#RepealReview

The 3-day window can be an additional barrier for people with physical disabilities or those with mobility issues. #RepealReview

Having to make multiple visits to a doctor in a short time-frame can be an exhausting experience for many people, especially for individuals who live in rural areas where transport networks are less accessible and journeys can be significantly longer and arduous. #RepealReview

I have submitted a motion to Cork County Council via my #socdems colleague @CllrJuneMurphy to introduce bye-laws for #exclusion zones. The motion will be heard on March 11 at the full Council meeting.

Just received word that someone in Holles St Hospital gave personal information of a woman who had a medical abortion to the fake my options 089 number. Just when you think they couldn't stoop any lower! The Guards aren't doing anything about it 😡

@DW_Ireland @DublinAirport @MetroUK The amount of times Aer Lingus forgot to arrange my wheelchair going to and from the plane is ridiculous!

[Disabled People for Choice @disabled_choice]

It's been weeks and not even a response from @SimonHarrisTD office acknowledging our email. We requested a meeting to discuss the issues with the legislation for people with disabilities. The radio silence speaks volumes. Sure we're only 7% of the population so, who cares?

[Disabled People for Choice @disabled_choice]

@freesafelegal @Lawyers4Choice Any plans to discuss the accessibility issues for people with disabilities? It's really falling under the radar and we are very concerned about it.

@BarefootJakki @CarolineMcTweet @SimonHarrisTD @FinianMcGrathTD Thank You-Evie.

[Disabled People for Choice @disabled_choice]

Thanks to @corkindo for covering our concerns.

[Disabled People for Choice @disabled_choice]

@SimonHarrisTD when are we going to have the promised legislation to stop this nonsense?

[Dáithí K @tvcritics]

Day 3, January 2019 and the #loveboth 'pro-life' groups are already outside clinics intimidating & harassing women.

This has to be stopped @campaignforleo

[Disabled People for Choice @disabled_choice]

Just when I think these anti choice people couldn't sink any lower..

[Caroline McGrotty @CarolineMcTweet]

Deaf and Hard of Hearing people are being left behind! There are no alternative contact details for the helpline without the assistance of the ITRS or a family member or friend to ring on their behalf. Once again, Deaf/HH people have no right to privacy! #NoOneLeftBehind

[Disabled People for Choice @disabled_choice]

We are FAR from done.
