Residential services for thousands of people with disabilities face independent inspections - Social Affairs & News from Ireland & Abroad | The Irish Times - Thu, Oct 31, 2013
about bloody time too! will there be unannounced visits or announced...cynical me!
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
