Mr. John Sherwin:

I will add a little bit to that answer. The DPO Coalition is made up of seven members: Independent Living Movement Ireland, National Platform of Self Advocates, Voice of Vision Impairment, Physical Impairment Ireland, AsIAm, the IDS and Disabled Women Ireland. Our involvement with the DPCN has been very positive. There is good representation from disabled people who can share their own lived experience. At the moment, the network is working to develop a strategy for how it will move forward. The disabled persons' organisations involved are happy to work with the network to ensure the voices of DPOs are prioritised.
