@ludawinthesky Hi ๐, I am Hannah. I have just started a business in Ireland helping events be accessible. 1 in 5 people are disabled in Ireland and according to stats from England 58% of disabled attendees assume events are unaccessible if no information want more info https://t.co/pr5lJMrhKm
@theREALcranbury .. elections there has always been an unionist majority. Last election was a big surprise as only a seat between them. Senn fein also get 20-29 % in Westminster elections but refuse to take seats in London.
@theREALcranbury Northern ireland was designed 100 years for the Republics to be always a minority hence why only part of ulster is in northern ireland. Sinn Fein refused to be part of the elections partly because of this till 1997 good Friday agreement. Since being involved in assembly....
@SenLynnRuane What about 3rd level support? As education officer for one of the biggest student unions I talked to many students that got told they had to beg for own support on a class to class basis talking to up to 30 staff a year having to disclose there autism to get basic support.
@StephanFrost Get two of everything if possible. It is really not worth the stress every day of checking did you remember to put stim toys or phone charger in bag. Keep on bag packed and one copy of stuff around house
@Translink_NI@IrishRail Yes I am aware. Irish rail can book me a wheelchair seat with tickets. The contact centre was unsure when I called today. I am travelling to Belfast to travel to travel back to Dublin with a wheelchair user.
How can there be a system to book wheelchair space online if starting in Dublin but not if starting in Belfast? How does this make sense. Translink call centre didn't know and said email feedback AFTER buying ticket. Were not sure at all in answer. @Translink_NI@IrishRail
@Translink_NI@IrishRail Yes I can book wheelchair space with out contacting someone and very easy. Translink is not user friendly in that contact centre was unsure of system in place. I am travelling to Belfast to bring a family member up to Dublin
@ellenfromnowon We don't own rights to our sea past 2 miles. So bad idea for them doing that We sold it off to different countries manly to spain like 10 years ago. Heard the rant about it from boyfriend every 6 months
@MsDaisyC@babsdansie@Independent_ie Discrimination cases involving disability discrimination are done through legal mediation by the Workplace Relations Commission no solicitor is involved in process for either side
@AccessForAll7@dlrcc@RBoydBarrett As someone mentioned in the comments of that tweet it is accessible with a radar key which is the same key used to get into disabled toilets that are unmanned. There needs to be education of on site staff.
@Irishjobsie @AsIAmIreland Are you going to educate employers to be open to working less hours. So many autistic people are underemployed because working 5 days a week is too much. I tried finding a 4 day week job is impossible
