Irish Wheelchair Association and our 20,000 members are vocal campaigners for a fairer society where people with disabilities are treated equally.
There is a severe lack of funding and understanding from our political representatives about the basic but essential supports that people with physical disabilities need to live independently. This is a grave injustice.
Join us in building an Ireland where people with physical disabilities have equal rights, choices and opportunities in how they live their lives.
