Unfortunately, what was ratified did NOT included the #OptionalProtocol which is what gives a person the right to file a complaint when their rights under the UNCRPD are being breached. This was done intentionally, of that there is no doubt, and it is shameful.

@Education_Ire review of guidance not including Special Schools? How do we expect young people in special school to find their pathway to employment! Surely a serious systematic breech of the UNCRPD already?#CES@campaignforleo@RichardbrutonTD@FinianMcGrathTD@fergusfinlayThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Ratification is a critical symbolic indication of the intrinsic value that society accords people with disabilities. It is also with ratification that the task of implementation truly begins.

A shameful long time to do so and the last country in the EU to ratify? In 2016, more than 40 states raised Ireland’s failure to ratify the convention with some pointing out Ireland had signed it in March 2007.

Still a long way to go especially for the acquired disability sector. Phone and travel grants, all of the little things that made money last 7 days and not 5 some weeks. All about access and those payments gave us accrues to the rest of our country
