Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Aoife Price:

It is great to hear examples of organisations supporting people to vote. This is really important. However, it is also really important for the organisations to support people who want to stand for election. That was not the experience of people who took part in our research. People felt more representative organisations should have stood behind them and supported them.
