Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Ensuring Inclusive Local and EU Elections: Discussion

Mr. John Dolan:

Gunta, a great woman. There is a couple of vice presidents. One of the other ones is Mr. Pat Clarke from Dublin. I am sure Senator O'Loughlin knows him and all his work over the years. That is EDF again. Unfortunately, Mr. Clarke was not available to be here today but he will be at that conference tomorrow. There are lots of things happening in these few days. They are very strongly wedded to trying.

There are a lot of countries in the European Union where disabled people would be happy to be at the situation we are saying is not up to scratch in Ireland. We have a voice and we can be a sign to others, even in Europe, as to how to improve things and what can be a standard that can be achieved.
