Are you going to respond to my post @TFIupdates or are you going to ignore it. You responded to @access_maynooth - why not mine, which is factual, and can be backed up by the people who have contacted me.

When will the consolidated call centre operated by Capita, stop telling #Wheelchair user that they can't access certain @IrishRail intercity services. Getting tired of doing their job for them resolving issues for people, unacceptable @jerrybuttimer @SeanCanney @DarraghOBrienTD
Great to see the first of #FOUR fully #Accessible bus stops with shelters completed in #Rathcormac as a result of engagement from our chair @CMDIRL with @TFIupdates @Buseireann & @Corkcoco - Accessible bus stops in Watergrasshill, Fermoy & Mitchelstown - Great collaboration #245
Isn't it amazing how @merrionstreet can find money at the drop of a hat, for whatever is trending at the moment but when it comes to basics for #PWD, for all their platitudinal talk, they do absolutely nothing to improve our access in day2day society @AccessForAll7 @leglesstweets
And then we spot this from @rtenews feed regarding @emmawardjourno - rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/020… @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @1Hildegarde
@emmawardjourno would be an excellent appointment - lived experience - articulate - not backwards in coming forward - we're just saying @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD #Seanad2025
Thank you for the acknowledgement, folks
We have been tagged in a post with this article from the @IrishTimes
Maybe one of the newly elected TDs in the area could assist? @BarryHeneghan2 @OCallaghanCian @DMitchellTD @DublinLaw @naoiseomuiri
Thank you for your support as always @AccessForAll7 @DisabilityFed have made no observations/commentary on this. This is how you prioritise #disabled people. Issues caused by wires/poles coming down in a storm can be eliminated by the provision of generators to vulnerable folks
ALT Screenshot of tweet posted by DPOCork asking why there isn't funding available for those on the ESB Networks Vulnerable Person register to facilitate the provision of stand by generators in the event of power cuts
As we are registered on the network as people who need electric to power their devices that are essential in their lives local authorities and the energy providers should have a system whereby they provide back up generators in an emergency.
We had plenty of warning around this storm and backups could have been deployed in the days running up to the storm event.
Thanks to #Dee from @ThomasGouldSF constituency office for her engagement with ourselves & @GardaTraffic Cork & Thomas himself for being so supportive in recognising the valid points we raised and following up so promptly #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #UNCRPD
Credit where Credit is due - local @GardaTraffic management in #Cork have been in contact with us & have taken the points raised as important & valuable feedback regarding the lack of #Accessibility & have undertaken to engage to resolve these matters for the next iteration

Did anyone from @GardaTraffic engage with @vviireland @Vision_Irl or @EnableIreland @InclusionIre @HeadwayIreland to even attempt to make this in any way accessible for the blind/visually impaired or intellectually disabled communities. Response please @HMcEntee & @AnneRabbitte

Here's the link to this Garda Consultation Process for Cork County Policing Plan. Thanks to #Dee from @ThomasGouldSF ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner… Password is PP2025 - Totally inaccessible to visually impaired or blind persons, will pose issues for those with intellectual disabilities

Wondering how many #Disabled people within Cork County were aware of this @gardainfo consultation process for the policing plan - @PolicingAuthIRL - Thanks to @ThomasGouldSF for highlighting this - echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41…

This is the screenshot from the @FineGael manifesto - @SimonHarrisTD @1Hildegarde Waiting for a response from ye! @astiunion @TUIunion Looking for a comment from ye Sorry but enough is enough @DisabilityFed @Vision_Irl @VVIreland @DyslexiaIreland @dyspraxiaIRL @Pii_DPO @DPOCork
ALT Screenshot from P15 of the Fine Gael Manifesto, where they state that they will support Exceptionally Able Students but ONLY CONSIDER ADDITIONAL TIME for those STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS!
@SimonHarrisTD @FineGael Who in God's name thought it was appropriate to state that ye would introduce supports for "Exceptionally Able Students" whilst only consider reviewing extra time for State Examinations for Students with Disabilities
Tomorrow morning @jmaher0 is going on @OpinionLine96 with @pjcoogan to discuss obstruction of bus stops in McCurtain Street by illegally parked cars. Can one of them ask @GardaTraffic #Cork how many #PENALTYPOINT tickets they have issued for this offence - @DisabilityFed @CMDIRL
