Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Future Business Model Plans and Long-term Vision for the Media Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Claire Kenny:

I would like to make a quick point. When talking about the disability sector, it is important to be clear that it quotes directly to disabled people. We know how disabled people are represented. We know through lived experience. Disabled people are qualified in journalism, some in sport, some are good at housing. We are not just there to talk about issues on disability. We are transactional human beings. Everything that affects society also affects disabled people. That is why it important that disabled people are consulted on every issue.
