John Dolan Down Syndrome IRL DFI Vicky Matthew Access For All Ireland Daisy Mc Donald Special Olympics Ireland IWA CRC Thank you so much John for representing the voiceless in society. I'm devastated that we now have no one to turn to to represent us. A particular thanks for being a huge support in the Save Cuisle campaign. Hopefully we can meet again in a different capacity

Francis, your heart lies with people and you don’t begrudge anyone who gets stuck in any way in giving a hand. Well said.

Good man Ned, ploughing new furrows, as it were. Wouldn’t it be great if more grass was put to vegetables as a result of this experience; to watch small hands sow and soon pull the little 🥕 and consume them raw after their never to be forgotten fresh smell.

Today, @SenLynnRuane called for a debate on the use of AI in the public sector in Ireland, and in-built bias in these algorithms. "We need to understand the architecture of these algorithms, and work to ensure they're not discriminating in terms of class, race, or gender."

The EDF board meeting that I attended this week was consumed by the humanitarian crisis for people with disabilities in Ukraine. People with disabilities are leaving everything behind, from medication to mobility aids to assistive technology. So many others are unable to get out.

Disabled people are fleeing Ukraine with just the clothes on their back- without their medication, specialised equipment, prosthetics etc. Read DFI's letter to Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys here: bit.ly/3u99xZV
