The work CBM is involved in includes work on inclusion and participation by people with disabilities, empowerment of people with disabilities, disability prevention and support and the promotion and protection of the rights of people with disabilities. In regard to people in Ireland with disabilities, does CBM have to explain its work to people who feel excluded from Irish society? Some people would say we have enough of a problem here at home and ask why CBM is not addressing that problem.
