I'm sorry I didn't think too hard about this before but what do you do if rely on medical devices when there's a power outage #speirgorm. Thing is I'd survive but it's still a bummer and not good for me to go without

B’s carer arrived at 6.30 pm. TO PUT HER TO BED. This is the shit facing disabled people. (We were out shopping)

No. Social media has created real community. Social media has taught a whole lot of people on the margins that they are in fact much more numerous than they thought, and that we are not alone. Social media *IS SOCIAL*. Civic responsibility went away because Dems & Reps celebrated individualism.

There is a sense that the HSE is manufacturing the conditions in which it can drop the Covid vaccine altogether. It's actually outrageous that children are not being ordinarily offered thr vaccine at all. Probably a lot of kids (0-4yo) who haven't had it at all, and others not since 2022.

#3goodthings from the #BeforeWeDie National Assembly about future planning for adults with intellectual disabilities who live at home with their parents 1. The energy in the room: the state will no longer be able to ignore parents and carers of people with intellectual disabilities #IEPOL

Pic shows a theatre full of people (900 at the start) holding up a sheet of paper with this text

OUR 8 DEMANDS
BeforeWeDie
1. EMERGENCY FUNDED PLAN
An emergency funded plan must be put in place by the next budget to immediately address the needs of people with an intellectual disability being cared for at home by parents and family members who are aged 70 and over.
2. STATUTORY REGISTER OF NEED
Every person with an intellectual disability who will require supported housing must be identified, recorded, and planned for.
3. PERSONAL TRANSITION PLAN BY AGE 18
Every young person with an intellectual disability gets a housing and care support transition plan, started at the age of 16 (when granted disability allowance) to be in place by 18.
4. REFORM THE HOUSING APPLICATION PROCESS AND ESTABLISH A 'ONE STOP SHOP'
• Connect the HSE, Departments of Housing and Disability, Service Providers (Sections 38 and 39), Local Authorities, families and individuals with an Intellectual Disability.
- Proactively process, quantify, and manage housing and care support applications and associated funding with agreed key performance indicators and publish an annual report of activities and progress to ensure accountability and track delivery.
• Reform the housing application process to address the specific needs of adults with an intellectua! disability.
5. INCREASE AND RING FENCE FUNDING TO SECTION 38/39 PROVIDERS
• Increase and ring-fence multi-annual funding to ensure funding is not diverted to disability requirements other than housing.
- Reinstate CALF/P&A funding to ABs who provide housing to cover both construction and maintenance.
• Reinstate CALF/P&A funding for acquisition and refurbishment of existing properties, enabling people to stay close to services in their own communities.
6. DESIGN AND ADOPT APPROPRIATE MODELS OF HOUSING
One size does not fit all. In addition to one off housing in a residential area, commit to support the "Cluster of Homes" model* providing safe, ap…
