Cost of living: Disabled community set to protest outside Leinster House over high living costs

A new cost of living protest is being organised outside the Dail next week in support of the disabled community.

Access For All Ireland, an advocacy group campaigning for the rights of people with disabilities, is supporting the demonstration. The protest is organised by Physical Impairment Ireland as disabled people across Ireland face mounting inequalities.

Access For All Ireland's founder Bernard Mulvany explained that many of their members face difficulties as a result of government inaction. The demonstration will also highlight the logistical challenges faced by the disabled community on a daily basis, including the inaccessibility of public transport and Ireland's response to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
