We are asking candidates standing in the #EUElections on 7 June to sign our Disability Pledge as disability needs to be made a priority disability-federation.ie/news/eu-electi… #DisabilityVotesCount @MyEDF
Thanks to @BarryAndrewsMEP for signing our Disability Pledge today ahead of the #EUElections on 7 June. #DisabilityVotesCount
As part of @ucl’s PEEP (Personal Emergency Evac Plan🚨) for disabled students/staff, I was asked the following: “Might the measures needed for you to escape from the building in an emergency adversely affect the safe escape of other occupants?” How unbelievably degrading. Wow.
Book review of #NeverKnowYourPlace - With cunning and charm, Naughton knew how to fight for his rights. “Martin Naughton’s memoir is a candid, touching account of an indomitable campaigner for the rights of people with disabilities” amp.theguardian.com/stage/2024/mar… @irishexaminer
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 The UK Government is facing the United Nations for their violation of the rights of Disabled people in a weeks time. What's happening on March 18th and how did we get here? A thread 🧵
#NeverKnowYourPlace - Martin Naughton’s memoir is published today. Co-author @JoannaRMarsden is pictured with Michael Doyle of @IrishWheelchair at the photocall this morning at Hodges Figgis.
@IrelandPhysical @DeptHousingIRL @TodaywithClaire @DeptHousingIRL got a report today from the wife of a wheelchair user who went to a vote as a couple in person but husband had to vote in his car as no staff member had keys to this school gate. Absolute farce. @_IHREC @FineGael @FineFail @greenparty_ie @sinnfeinireland
People with Disabilities already reporting difficulties accessing both the Polling Stations & Polling Booths this morning. Did All County Registrars carry our Disability Accessibility studies @DeptHousingIRL? So much for 'Care'!!! @TodaywithClaire
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Navalny dead. I’d like to say it was a shock but in truth it was probably only a matter of time. Now watch the Putin lie machine swing into action, helped by their professional propagandists at home and useful idiots around the world.
Navalny threatened Putin because he revealed the extent of his theft and corruption. Putin killed Navalny because he couldn't let that truth be known.
Holly Cairns reveals in the Dáil that the government has spent €1.5m on public ads about how disability rights are human rights - but not yet ratified the optional protocol to the UN Convention on that area, which means those disabled people have no legal right to pursue them
More of the same travel nonsense for disabled people "Kilkenny woman without wheelchair for four days after it was not loaded onto flight." A wheelchair is not like a lost suitcase, it is part of being mobile and independent as a person with a disability irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4124…
We are happy to share this statement just received from 'The Leaders Alliance', a group of disabled people who have come together to highlight the impacts of the indefinite strike action from 17 October in Section 39-funded organisations disability-federation.ie/news/2023/10/1… #rightsnotfights

As part of @ucl’s PEEP (Personal Emergency Evac Plan🚨) for disabled students/staff, I was asked the following: “Might the measures needed for you to escape from the building in an emergency adversely affect the safe escape of other occupants?” How unbelievably degrading. Wow.
Through the lens of @TG4TV’s Cúramóirí, viewers get to witness the challenges faced by carers and those in their care we were proud to watch our colleague @gaelicgunner talk about his experiences as a person with a disability in tonight’s episode
Only Arsenal could go to an away ground against a reigning treble winning team, where they have lost eight times in a row, stop their opponents (who have netted in 57 straight home games) from scoring, earn a point where no team has won in 16 months and still get criticised.

#NeverKnowYourPlace - Martin Naughton’s memoir is published today. Co-author @JoannaRMarsden is pictured with Michael Doyle of @IrishWheelchair at the photocall this morning at Hodges Figgis.
A genuinely disgraceful statement. There was no divisive behaviour, there were concerned citizens who have been failed by the government and these organisations who do not trust that things would have gotten better through flimsy constitutional wording.
Please see below a statement from Family Carers Ireland in relation to the results of the family and care referendums. familycarers.ie/news-press-rel…
@CarersIreland Caring isn't ableist, what was ableist was forgetting who is cared for and not including them in the conversation regarding care. If there was no person to care for there would not be carers. By reducing them to "care" instead of the independent individuals they are is ableist.

@gaelicgunner @sushidadublin @DisabilityFed @struggleiswheel Just not good enough.
FFS when a venue has access and then removes it. Awful.
