Our friend @GaryJk64 highlights the importance of listening to the lived experience of people with disabilities, as most engineers and architects designing our infrastructure will have never done any disability-inclusive training. #GettingNowhere

I have spent almost 10 years in an institution due to inaccessible housing. This autumn, I will finally have a home of my own. People should not be incarcerated due to their disability, things need to change.

The ability to have people fined would be a huge step towards stamping out this abuse. This is not a luxury for people with disabilities, it is a necessity!
The Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland has called on the Government to change existing legislation so gardaí and traffic wardens can impose fines on drivers who illegally park in accessible parking bays in private carparks rte.ie/news/ireland/2023/013…
