I am a board member so I am aware of the Open Doors Initiative and the work it does. Rehab is our supporting partner.
I am not sure whether Pobal or the National Disability Authority, NDA, are involved directly as partners or members. However, I agree that the work they have done is amazing. There is a great deal more that can be done. Are the witnesses aware of the work of the Crann Centre in Ballincollig. Have they come across that? I just bring it to their attention. It has done amazing work for people who are wheelchair-bound, and others, to work remotely. It is well worth a visit, it is a hugely impressive place.
