People with disabilities have been left behind budget after budget. It's now time for the Govt to show real leadership in this area and give us choice not charity. Hear what our members have to say outside Leinster House tomorrow at 11am #Budget24 #IWAadvocacy #DisabilityBudget

Staggeringly honest interview .

The advocacy waiting list for people with disabilities seeking help with housing, healthcare &other issues reached 250 last year - an increase of 55%. Check out Niamh Griffin's story in the Irish Examiner based on NAS Ireland annual report findings

The collapse of yesterday's Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) talks between unions and the HSE/Government over pay equality for section 39 workers is a massive blow. Read our full statement here iwa.ie/statement-work…

Our services are already being severely affected as we haemorrhage staff and find it hard to recruit......the #govt must intervene,avert this action and address the pay inequality #equalworkforequalpay #section39

#PayParity Children & adults with disabilities depend on these service providers, just like they also depend on S38s & HSE, all providing valuable and crucial services. They need to be paid accordingly, in line with their colleagues! IWA Enable Ireland Rehab Group

I admire a lot of what you do, Elon Musk .. but your vicious attack on President Zelensky last night was incredibly disappointing. Anything negative to say about Vladimir Putin - or is it just the guy whose country he illegally invaded who is the problem?

Norway nails it. So good to hear adults in the room rather than American bs.

Horrified to see that overnight attacks struck multiple parts of Ukraine - killing 11 and injuring 40 - including a double tap hitting first responders in Dobropillia. Recovery efforts are still underway. Civilians continue to bear the cost of this war.
