A group of campaigners made up of a local councillor and parents from Dublin 15 are set to stage a demonstration outside Leinster House next week over a lack of disability support services.
The group who are called #fussd15 under the umbrella of #fussireland are set to hold a demonstration on 14 September between 11am and 2pm. Speaking to Dublin Live, Fingal Cllr Tania Doyle said: "Dublin 15 is a constituency well represented at cabinet by three ministers, two holding senior portfolios yet experiencing diminishing supports and ever growing delays in the provision of those limited support services. Occupational therapy, speech and language, assessments of deed are but a few."
Cllr Doyle said that Dublin 15 has seen "exponential growth" in population and is the fastest and most diverse community in the country. She said that parents who have children with additional needs are being left to wait months and years for their children to see a professional.
