Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has attended the Disabled People’s Parliament in the NI Assembly.
The Parliament provides participants with the opportunity to share their lived experiences and raise a series of issues that they are concerned about, directly with Ministers and MLAs.

There were unusual scenes in the Stormont chamber this afternoon... everyone was agreeing. There was even a round of applause at the end. It was a meeting of the Disabled People's Parliament and some Executive Ministers attended. Our community correspondent Mark Simpson reports.

It’s a real privilege to be at the 2025 #DisabledPeoplesParliament in Stormont today. It’s important that we hear from experts in disability and that’s people with lived experience to ensure that deaf and disabled people are fully involved in decisions that affect them.

This was a fantastic event. The voices heard today at Stormont were experts who live with disability every day. We need to listen to them and deliver the changes necessary to make our transport, hospitals, schools, streets etc… more inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Northern Ireland Assembly@niassembly
Today we hosted the Disabled People's Parliament here at Parliament Buildings. This unique sitting of the Assembly, which brought together individuals and representatives from a range of organisations, served as a powerful platform for sharing the real, lived experiences of Deaf and disabled people in Northern Ireland, scrutinising the impact of current policies, and calling for meaningful change. Northern Ireland Assembly Speaker Edwin Poots MLA said: "The Disabled People's Parliament was important for direct democratic engagement. The motion set out the expectation that public policy must be measured by how well it serves the people it is designed for. “We look forward to receiving the recommendations and encourage Ministers and Departments to consider them to seek to make everyday life work better for everyone."
