The Irish Thalidomide Association says it’s disappointed with the Programme for Government wording which does not give a clear commitment that all Thalidomide issues would be finally dealt with, in line with what Micheál Martin and Simon Harris indicated last July

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

Come work with us - we are very serious about our work but pure sound too!
