Just a note for everyone that we are the Disabled wing of the IRISH Labour Party, not the UK. If you're tagging us, ensure you don't have us confused with our comrades, @DisabilityLab who are flying the flag for us in the UK

[Marie Sherlock TD @marie_sherlock]

Powerful words from James,Shelly, Claire& Patrick representing @ILMIreland

The vital importance of a PA to allow disabled people to be who they truly are

The dignity & power in gaining employment.

So much to do to ensure disabled persons are truly respected in this country

Thanks so much for all your work on this Eoin!

[Eoin Barry @EoinBarry]

@labdisability @labour @ILMIreland When I was chair of @LabEquality the work with @labdisability to make party conferences accessible was one of the most important outcomes we had.

[Labour Disability @labdisability]

Great to have the support, but he needs to fully support the candidate fund!

[Labour Disability @labdisability]

We are glad to say that @labour has an accessibility policy which was developed by disabled people and has been in force for years now! @ILMIreland

[Labour Disability @labdisability]

Very clear from @ILMIreland report that there is a need for funding for disabled candidates!

[Labour Disability @labdisability]

Great to be at this with Cllr @declancabra and other @labour members!

Added to Development Plan
CUO41 #Accessibility
“To encourage disabled people to take part fully in the city's culture as consumers, creators, artists and workers by supporting a high standard of accessibility in new and existing cultural assets”.

[Ivana Bacik @ivanabacik]

Due to speak for @labour on need for more investment in #publictransport & importance of accessibility in planning on transport @labdisability

[Catherine Gallagher @Cather_i_ne]

You can listen back to my chat with @andreagilligan on @LunchtimeLiveNT on having to provide medical evidence just to be able to purchase accessible & companion tickets for entertainment venues. It's not in spirit of UNCRPD & respect for privacy https://t.co/jPlnbM8U4v

[🇵🇸 Declan Meenagh 🌹🕶️♿ #RefugeesWelcome @declancabra]

Great to be at the opening of Pelletstown train station. This station and bridge connects communities and makes it easier for people to get into town using sustainable transport.

[Labour Disability @labdisability]

Happy #MakeWayDay everyone. Labour Disability is proud to showcase our video on this monumental day. Hopefully as time goes on the initiative will continue to prove useful in making society a barrier free place for disabled people

Condolences to the family and friends of Meryvn Taylor from everyone at Labour Disability

[Alan Kelly TD @alankellylabour]

Meryvn Taylor is the man who brought through the divorce referendum in 1995 that helped change Ireland for the better. He must always be remembered for that. We will miss him in the @labour party. Condolences to his family and friends. 🌹
