Our friend @GaryJk64 highlights the importance of listening to the lived experience of people with disabilities, as most engineers and architects designing our infrastructure will have never done any disability-inclusive training. #GettingNowhere
Irish Wheelchair Association's #HomeTruths Campaign is so important. See the video's that tell this story on iwa.ie . Please share, support and help us spotlight on the lived experiences of people with disabilities in the housing market. #housing

I have spent almost 10 years in an institution due to inaccessible housing. This autumn, I will finally have a home of my own. People should not be incarcerated due to their disability, things need to change.

A brilliant article let’s hope Government do the right thing #EqualityIn2023Vision-impaired woman: 'Please legislate to keep e-scooters off footpaths' (via @thejournal_ie) jrnl.ie/5982582
The ability to have people fined would be a huge step towards stamping out this abuse. This is not a luxury for people with disabilities, it is a necessity!
