@DisabledPartyIE @Joan3103 @DeafnotDefeated @NormaFoleyTD1 @SECireland Yes, and with ‘accomdations’ for the LC wrt text heavy subjects such as English worse than the JC it is incomprehensible how any Government can standby this system @SimonHarrisTD which further disadvantages students who require additional support.
@DisabledPartyIE @SECireland This is critical to empower students who require additional support to strive on an equal basis for independence. The current system does not address individual students challenges or compare well with other jurisdictions. It is blatantly discriminatory in our experience.
#Article19 UNCRPD sets out the rights of People with Disabilities to be able to live independently - what PRACTICAL changes have been introduced into Irish Building Standards to make housing accessible for all? Simple changes at the design stage could achieve these requirements
Children with #Scoliosis need to be prioritised for treatment to improve their quality of life. The resources can be provided but apparently the political will isn't. @MedCouncilIRL should be engaged with along with @IHCA_IE to develop a roadmap to resolve the impasse that exists
Disabled people should not be restricted from spontaneous travel on rail, bus, taxi or hackneys. All buses, private & public must be fully accessible, all taxis & hackneys to be wheelchair accessible. Retrofitting of railway infrastructure to remove barriers to immediate travel

These astonishing figures are a direct result of the HSE breaking the law and being found out by the High Court in doing so. They ignored all the warnings and the delays and outcomes for children have been seriously impactful.

@AnneRabbitte I sincerely hope the online application process is accessible for blind users. In the last year we had significant problems with it for our daughter, which resulted in an expensive in person trip to Cork, where the staff were brilliant but it should not have been necessary.

@disabledparlIRL @Ontheboldstep @mmoynihantd @PaulineTullyTD @OireachtasNews It is a waste of time &stressful when anyone with a diagnosed life long condition is repeatedly asked to confirm they STILL have that LIFELONG condition. The disability allowance application process when dom. care ceases due to age with lifelong conditions is an example of this.
Morning @DisabilityFed - Presumably you are aware of the announcements made by @welfare_ie during the #Referendums2024 counts, regarding allocations of €36.27m funding to organisations across the state, in preparation for this. echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

When the next #Referendum takes place in June, there needs to be an additional #Amendment proposed for the Irish Constitution. That the construct of #Article8 be amended to recognise #ISL as the #THIRD OFFICIAL LANGUAGE of Ireland within the Constitution @IrishDeafSoc @ChimeFor

@Fiona_Kildare Fiona, is there any chance an extension would be granted? It’s an extremely tight turn around. There have been significant public consultations back-to-back lately. NDIS; Green Paper; now UNCRPD. It takes time to consult stakeholders and draft a coherent submission. Thanks.
@AnneRabbitte I sincerely hope the online application process is accessible for blind users. In the last year we had significant problems with it for our daughter, which resulted in an expensive in person trip to Cork, where the staff were brilliant but it should not have been necessary.

@mulvanypeopleb1 @caulmick @CMHaughey @rtenews Bernard you were right to campaign for it, and I'm sorry you felt alone, that won't be happening again. You won't be left alone to shout into the void again

@oldnurse55 @disabledparlIRL @Europarl_EN The picture is bleak north and south 😔
@joanne_sansome @disabledparlIRL @Europarl_EN I just think it's so psychologically cruel on parents and carers to leave them living with so much uncertainty about services. People waiting for the very minimum of respite care for their children. The poor relation of health care along with MH.
@disabledparlIRL @oldnurse55 @Europarl_EN Not shocked nor surprised, by that, I mean the UK government have signed 2006, ratified in 2009 and we are still waiting on implementation🙄…now we don’t even have the protections via the EU laws (Brexit) & last time they didn’t even turn up to give evidence to the committee 🤯
@disabledparlIRL @Sineadmcgar @ElecCommIRL Please keep allies updated on this and let us know how we can best support this important work 👏👏👏 #DisabilityRights

@disabledparlIRL @florNEWS @paucull @carolbeecher Good point. Good to see a female panel debate this however equality isnt 1-dimensional. This amendment impacts a number of demographics incl women, PWD & carers . Hope all get represented.
