Access For All Ireland Padraic Moran Annette Costello John Fulham IWA @Dpocork - What is going on Transport for Ireland - How is this acceptable - rationale please! - ‘Utter frustration’: Taxi drivers upset at 15-minute window for wheelchair-accessible grants irishtimes.com/transport/2025…

Wondering how many #Disabled people within Cork County were aware of this Garda Info consultation process for the policing plan - Policing Authority - Thanks to Thomas Gould TD for highlighting this - echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

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

Did anyone from An Garda Síochána engage with Voice of Vision Impairment Vision Ireland or Enable Ireland Inclusion Ireland Headway Ireland to even attempt to make this in any way accessible for the blind/visually impaired or intellectually disabled communities. Response please Helen McEntee TD & Anne Rabbitte

Credit where Credit is due - local An Garda Síochána 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

Thanks to #Dee from Thomas Gould TD constituency office for her engagement with ourselves & An Garda Síochána Cork & Thomas himself for being so supportive in recognising the valid points we raised and following up so promptly #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #UNCRPD





Thank you Róisín Cullen for chatting to me about the struggles I've had with not having power for the past 11 days, you can read all about it below, there isn't a definitive day for when my power comes back on (no esb or council worker has been out to assess the tree that fell on


And then we spot this from RTÉ News feed regarding Emma Ward - rte.ie/news/ireland/2… Micheál Martin Simon Harris TD Hildegarde Naughton

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 Access For All Ireland Steve Casey 🏑♿️🏆🥇🎙📻

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 Transport for Ireland Bus Éireann & Cork County Council - Accessible bus stops in Watergrasshill, Fermoy & Mitchelstown - Great collaboration #245

Getting tired of doing their job for them resolving issues for people, unacceptable Jerry Buttimer TD Sean Canney TD Darragh O'Brien

Transport for Ireland Bus Éireann dublinbusnews Iarnród Éireann Luas Go-Ahead Ireland Jerry Buttimer TD Sean Canney TD Darragh O'Brien Are you going to respond to my post Transport for Ireland or are you going to ignore it. You responded to Maynooth Access Group - why not mine, which is factual, and can be backed up by the people who have contacted me.

Delighted to see IWA DogsForTheDisabled CorkDeafClub Voice of Vision Impairment amongst others there with the collaboration of DPOCork & Iarnród Éireann - others attended online which was great to see
