Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Equality and Non-Discrimination: Discussion

Ms Elaine Dennehy:

I would like to thank Deputy Canney. I have been in contact with him for many years. He has been a source of support and has helped me have my voice heard. I also thank LightAware, of course, for all the support it has given me in the past few years and even for the acknowledgement that there are many other people around the world just like me. I guess I do not feel as crazy. From the start, I wondered if it was just me and why everybody else was okay with this technology. I am thankful to all the members of LightAware and to Deputy Canney for the opportunity to be heard today.
