“The fact we don’t get recognised, we don’t get the proper supports means as a carer we get nothing... No-one looks after us, it’s only through other people (in the same situation) or you falling on your knees you get supports.” https://t.co/sKTGfWAMOO

🚀We launched our 'Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act 2015 Train the Trainer Guide and Resources' today.

This was created with the help of people with an intellectual disability to make information about their rights easier to understand.

Today, we published a landmark study on access to justice for disabled people in Ireland. 
Access to justice is a fundamental right, but disabled people face many barriers to accessing justice, and sometimes they are denied justice altogether.

We are currently in the process of developing a new strategy to guide us through the coming years, and your voice is key to ensuring we create an impactful and sustainable roadmap for success.

Remember government leaders over the weekend saying they support disability workers & others like them?

Today at talks on pay equality, government reps said they had NO MANDATE to address the issue.

@MichealMartinTD & @SimonHarrisTD - give them the mandate them. Immediately.

"As we get older, our biggest concern is what happens to the girls when we are gone or else we are no longer able to keep caring for them." Damien Douglas, who alongside his wife cares for their twin daughters, wants the next govt to prioritise future planning & respite. 🗳️#GE24

Tomorrow is World Toilet Day 🚾 You’d think in a developed country like Ireland that we could go anywhere & there would be a suitable toilet but that is not the case. Many people with disabilities cannot enjoy all that Ireland has to offer due to the lack of changing places. ♿️
