People with disabilities are among the people most discriminated against in Ireland. People with disabilities battle daily just to achieve basic services from the State. A few weeks ago this Government played the part of champions of carers and people with disabilities, but that zeal has disappeared for some reason after the referendum results. People with disabilities regularly tell me they apply for disability allowance and are initially unsuccessful with their application, but when they appeal, they get their application. This seems to be happening a lot and I think it is important we focus on why that is happening.
