Article 19 of the UNCRPD states that persons with disabilities have the right to live independently and be included in the community. However, without suitable housing options, individuals are unable to fully participate in society. Together we advocate for change.

Every person deserves the right to live independently. Yet, the lack of wheelchair-liveable housing in Ireland is denying individuals their basic rights under the #UNCRPD. It's time to prioritize accessibility and ensure everyone has a place to call home. #HomeTruths

It is really important to vote in upcoming election. Unfortunately, in 2024 not all polling stations are accessible, many PWD will need to use a postal vote. While this is the only system we have, it needs to be reformed. PWD should be involved in political life like their peers
