I really hope the government will not means test the disability allowance either. Glad to hear about carers being non-means tested but we know and must respond to the additional cost to disabled people themselves. Micheál Martin Simon Harris TD

The addition of promoting inclusive research by supporting disabled researchers & staff in #programmeforgovernment is vry welcome.Thanks for listening to us & we in National Disabled Postgraduate Advisory Committee #LaunchPAD AHEAD Ireland look forward to the removal of the glassceiling.Dara Ryder Dr Aoife Price Michael Shevlin



What an achievement for all working on this🎉. I am proud to be part of this small but growing community as Co-Chair of National Disabled Postgraduate Advisory Committee and working in partnership with AHEAD Ireland on the #LaunchPAD project.

This is an important and very welcome milestone in our work in National Disabled Postgraduate Advisory Committee This is proof that constructive advocacy can bring about positive impact and why it is always essential to consult/collaborate with disabled people in a meaningful way, across all sectors

Very sad to hear about the passing of Paul Durcan - one of my favourite poets and whose work I am so fond of. Years ago on QFM, myself and Anna D'Alton discussed Durcan's work in the second episode of our show Reader's Hour open.spotify.com/episode/4kFC7A…
