This is an incredible breach of #UNCRPD and I hope the #OptionalProtocol is envoked in Harvey's name. What a disgrace on the State.

The kicker in this ‘mistake’, according to the protected disclosure, someone also allegedly reported that the surgeon from Great Ormond Street agreed with the palliative diagnosis. Which is a lie. The surgeon from GOSH absolutely supported the need for surgery to go ahead. It wasn’t until months later that the whistleblower saw the report from GOSH that contradicted what had been reported by certain staff in CHI.
@CarrollJennifer @SimonHarrisTD this protected disclosure was in your possession prior to our last meeting and yet you never once discussed it with us or attempted to give us any clarity. You sat there while I spoke again about how we still did not have answers as to what happened to Harvey and you chose to keep this information from us.

@ShadySparrow My understanding is that the signed paperwork HAS been delivered and lodged with the UN.
If that is the case, then the Government HAS ratified the #OptionalProtocol.
Maybe @GarNob could share his thoughts.
The Optional Protocol to the UNCRPD will take effect in Ireland on 30th Nov 2024!
This allows people in Ireland to raise rights violations with the UN Committee, after trying all domestic remedies. A big step forward!

OPCRPD coming into force on 30 November 2024!

Finally, an accountability mechanism that will direct Ireland towards a truly person-focused & human rights approach to disability. #OptionalProtocol to the #UNCRPD to come into force in Ireland on the 30th of Nov 2024 @TomClonan

I wonder if this FG/FF/Gr government will Actually Ratify the #UNCRPD #OptionalProtocol before they call "Time" on this government and call the election?

If it’s not education families of people with complex needs are fighting for, it’s healthcare/disability services/respite/ residential care & so much more, it’s never ending. People with disabilities deserve to be valued, respected & supported to live their best lives. #WhoCares

This is the more common sense approach to take.
We welcome the optional protocol but how about making it so we don’t have to go to the courts to fight for our rights.
#OptionalProtocol
In what way is this helpful to, say, a child with scoliosis waiting for treatment, or someone whose train station's lifts never work?
Do we expect them to go to New York to lodge a complaint?
Why not fix problems, rather than judicialise policy making?

Why is the state taking so long to enact the “optional protocol”
Simple, it’s all about money!
They always prioritise money over people.
Enact the #OptionalProtocol
We have waited so long for the UNCRPD #OptionalProtocol to be ratified by the Irish Government. Is it finally happening? @AnneRabbitte @SimonHarrisTD
Delighted to be at the @Disabilities_QI National Sharing Day on the Assisted Decision Making Act
Minister Anne Rabbitte has announced that the #OptionalProtocol to the #UNCRPD will be before Ministers in the next 14 days for sign off on ratification.

Democracy requires the government do this now! I slated this and previous governments for consistently treating disabled people with utter contempt. We need to all get behind the disability activists in their campaign to have all these demands implemented!
#OptionalProtocol
Very carefully worded 😮 We know…
Everyday we know how avoidance of ‘a concrete & mandatory obligation’ feels like
Also, Ireland was one of the last countries to ratify #UNCRPD & #OptionalProtocol outstanding
Change is well & truly overdue
#CommitToChange #Obligation
The Government is embroiled in a new referendum row after internal files suggest the care amendment wording was chosen to “avoid a concrete and mandatory obligation” on the State. https://t.co/XsJ5iHTuow
People with disabilities are disgusted by the proposed care referendum. People Before Profit are, unenthusiastically, voting yes but the discourse over the care referendum shows the need to adopt the Optional Protocol.

Please read ⬇️
The Irish State will certainly not do anything positive for #PeopleWithDisabilitues and/or #Carers
They could ratify #OptionalProtocol to #UNCRPD in a heartbeat to allow legal challenge where they fail to deliver
Thanks Mairead @maireadenright
There is no parity of esteem in care sector; family carers are largely hidden, forgotten the work not recognised even if local Nurse/GP applaud efforts. We are not born to fight continuously; #Ratify #OptionalProtocol now; fund need’s assessments; services and interventions. 3/3
@ococonuts 100% Sometimes I wonder am I travelling in time or witnessing history repeating itself.
Endeavouring to live the dream and striving for the future.

#Backus #Scoliosis
I do not want the outdated #CharitableModel of #Disability or the proposed #MedicalModel to dictate opportunities for me + PWD. #HumanRights trump both models. Ratify #OptionalProtocol #UNCRPD now. #VoteNO #EqualityMatters
#BeInformed #NoToInstitutionalisation #LiveInCommunity
A No vote is vital for carers and people with disabilities https://t.co/YmE0ZblEvE
We are pleased to learn from @SenatorKeogan that this issue appears to have been resolved - https://t.co/lULNrLByLV - We call on the government to introduce legislation to ratify the #UNCRPD #OptionalProtocol at the earliest opportunity. Also we need to see a huge increase in provision of #ISL on @RTEOne @RTE2 & @VirginMedia_TV for the deaf community @IrishDeafSoc @IrishDeafWomen
On Tuesday, we asked @SenatorKeogan to raise this important issue on behalf of the #deaf community in the Seanad - unfortunately there was no #ISL interpreter on screen, so we are attaching a transcript of what was said - @IrishDeafSoc @IrishDeafWomen

@GarNob They will block anything that places burden of responsibility on State otherwise they would have ratified #OptionalProtocol #UNCRPD
