The author said a government-commissioned report estimated the cost of disability at €10,000–€15,000 a year. They called the temporary €500 cost-of-disability payment “a sick joke” and said it would not reverse the €1,400 in cuts disabled people had faced the previous year. https://t.co/uvXSMmYDPg #DisabilityRights #SocialJustice #Equality #IE

The author said a government-commissioned report estimated the cost of disability at well over €10,000 a year, and called a €500 “cost of disability payment” a “sick joke”. They added that it would not make up for the €1,400 in cuts disabled people faced last year.

Families shouldn’t have to fight for respect for their children. We were proud to stand with them outside the Dáil today demanding proper disability services for children and young people.

The elderly and people in wheelchairs being arrested for holding up placards again. It's a test for Burnham who has been conspicuously silent on the abhorrent proscription of PA. He has to say something now. #Burnham #Protest #DisabilityRights

For too long, adults with intellectual disabilities and their parents have faced the future with dread, not knowing what will happen after their parents pass away. The successive cruel FF & FG governments will never act unless they are forced to by campaigns like this. #IntellectualDisabilities #DisabilityRights #Advocacy #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.

In armed conflicts and humanitarian crises, persons with disabilities are too often left behind. Finland wants to strengthen their meaningful participation in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

🚨July Provision Applications to reopen next week! @PearseDoherty and I fought hard this week to get applications for July Provision reopened. It was a cruel decision by government to close the window after just one week. It left many children with additional needs without #JulyProvision #DisabilityRights #InclusiveEducation #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweetprovided.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are failing disabled people and children with additional needs. Today I challenged Micheál Martin to: 👉 Deliver a cost of disability scheme 👉 Properly staff new autism assessment centres 👉 Guarantee an appropriate school place for every child in https://t.co/Wrk0kZvG11 #DisabilityRights #AutismAwareness #EducationForAll #IE

The civil case against me by the Hollywood Studios was terminated on March 16, 2023 but the New Zealand Govt (National) is still trying to extradite me despite having suffered a stroke in Nov 2024. I'm speech impaired and require a wheelchair because of ongoing balancing issues. #Extradition #JusticeForAll #DisabilityRights #NZ

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s budget last October left people with disabilities €1400 worse off. Since then life has become so much harder for everyone but all the more so if you’re a disabled person. Our Dáil motion tonight calls for two things - an immediate emergency €500 now https://t.co/E0KqXFGlaP #DisabilityRights #Budget2023 #EmergencySupport #IE

So happy that @scope are reaping the whirlwind on this. Let's hear a spokesman in court explain why disabled women are bigots for expecting female-only care. #DisabilityRights #WomenEmpowerment #LegalJustice #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
