@Merriganmania @caromom_irl @dlrcc 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙄

I feel like @dlrcc is trolling me now with yet another new initiative that isn't wheelchair accessible! 🖕🏻 A 12-week pilot, and they'll see what demand is like to make it accessible, wankers!

@OConnorOisin @SandyfordBID Thank you!

@gervelle3 @caromom_irl @DisabilityFed @AccessForAll7 @TomClonan @IrishWheelchair @JackKavanaghIRL @jcawleyjnr And not everyone with a serious disability has a medical card! Although, that does come with the benefit of more control over the purchase of necessary equipment.

A big factor in the independence of a person with disabilities is their financial resources, with poverty and independence closely related @DisabilityFed @AccessForAll7 @TomClonan @IrishWheelchair @JackKavanaghIRL @jcawleyjnr

@OConnorOisin @SandyfordBID Hopefully the new ones will be wheelchair accessible as none of the existing 4 are!

Paralympics Ireland are inviting interested parties to tender for a research project aimed at understanding the athlete and coach experience of Paralympic gateways and pathways in Ireland. Full details here: paralympics.ie/research-oppor… @sportireland

Ableist assumptions can become reality by creating barriers for disabled people. It's time to change perspective 👓 📹 "Assume I can. So maybe I will."

Today, March 1, is Disability Day of Mourning - a day to remember disabled people killed by family members. There are vigils held each year around the world. Read more here - disability-memorial.org Not all deaths which happen this way are recorded or reported correctly.

Many ppl are torn over the #CareRef It has been a goal of progressives for decades to remove the sexist ‘women in the home’ article 42B. However Carers, Ppl with Disabilities & independent legal experts have called the new text ‘ableist’ & implicitly ‘misogynistic’

Earlier today @ParalympicsIRE marked the 6 month countdown to the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Paris. A fitting tribute was paid to Anne Ebbs a 3 time Paralympic medal winner, & founder of the Irish Paralympic Council (subsequently Paralympics Irl) by PI President

@TomClonan & Catherine Cox of @CarersIreland debate the upcoming referendum on March 8th. #TonightVMTV

@Cather_i_ne From a post on Facebook..., Oissin Smith office advised (after numerous calls) that delivery drivers would accept returns from diabled people or elderly . All supermarkets then advised that they would not.

Has any consideration been made for disabled people and how we will manage with the bottle return scheme? Genuinely asking, not meaning to be inflammatory. One supermarket chain has said they won't accept bottles from home deliveries. Scratching my head a bit on this one

Ireland v España... go @irishhockey !!! @TeamIreland 🇮🇪🇮🇪💪
