Disability & Autism are Issues in

Canvassing with Diarmaid Ó CADHLA in the Cobh LEA, he explains that the single most common issue being raised at the doors is not housing but the problems relating to #Disability, and #Autism in particular.
This is one conversation we captured, and have permission to share.
In 2018, as a member of Cork County Council Ó CADHLA pushed to have the OPTIONAL PROTOCOL to the ‘UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability’ ratified, it would give the families affected the ability to hold Government to account for their neglect, and even allow complaints to be made to the United Nations itself.
It is the neglect of the establishment Parties, #FF, #FG, #Green, #Labour that have allowed this neglect to continue for years.
Ó CADHLA is looking for votes himself, and he is asking everyone, everywhere, to vote independent, to set the old elite aside.
