Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Disability Proofing and Data: Discussion
Ms Grace Murphy:
I will touch on two things mentioned by Senator Clonan. The real strength of DPOs is being able to advocate for the supports that disabled people need to live sustainable lives, to be financially sustainable, to contribute to the economy, to contribute to discussions on environmental sustainability and financially sustain themselves as a result. We, as DPOs, also need the data in order to be able to make what we hear on a regular basis leads to the changes our members want.
