Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Living with a Disability: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Niamh Kilcawley:

When it comes to the things we have been talking about today, they need to change. For these things to be changed will take co-operation. The word "impossible" is simply not acceptable. These things are not impossible. Nothing is impossible. If the Government listened, there would be so many other opportunities, not to give anybody an advantage but to help and to make life easier. I am 16. I am a teenager. I should not have to be campaigning for these things but I want to make a change, not for myself but for everybody who comes after me. If somebody had made that change already, then I would not have to do it. I do not want to have to do it but I am happy to do it if it helps others, not only myself. I am completely willing to co-operate with the Government to make these changes happen. Where it says it is impossible, I say it is possible. I want people to know and understand that it is not impossible. Nothing is impossible. If you want to make a change, you can do it and it will not take forever.
