The government has defrauded people with disabilities, they led us to believe that they were ratifying the CRPD Optional Protocol. They didn't. #RightsNeedEnforcement #ratifyuncrpd nitter.gq/nifhla/status/97188799…

We were a little excited to see that one of the three things that has happened in the ten weeks #TheLastLeg was off air was #RepealedThe8th - #Isitok #ItsFeckinFantastic #DisabilityPride
Things to say to tourists after the referendum: remember that in Ireland we drive on the left side of the road and the right side of history.

It's a real pity that
@AmyHassett loves science so much, because she should be running the country, not a laboratory.
She is right ALL of the time and did amazing work as a leader in @UCDSU @PWDTogether4Yes
She's also really funny.
We aren't big fans of thanking non disabled people for being sound -but @TaraFlynn is the most sound.
She gave us the freedom to speak truth to power by being the first,
And since we started has amplified us + listened to us more than anyone.
If Ireland did knighthoods....

Dec and Maria are at the RDS, but we are at every count centre through Ireland. Blown away by the incredible leadership shown by people with disabilities in this campaign. #TogetherForYes #ReproductiveRightsAreDisabilityRights

We have had to fight for the right to vote longer and harder than most.
Use it. #Together2Vote
In these last days we are getting ready to be #Together2Vote - but we are going to explain, for the last time why we are #Together4Yes -
This campaign has been hard for PWD, a lot of no campaigners have told us that our mothers would have aborted us
Hat tip to @SFdirewolf for reintroducing the phrase "suck it" to our vocabulary
All of us have been out canvassing and doing our bit for #Together4Yes - so less active on the Twitter.
If you have any questions about voting or need any support, send us a message.

Huge amount of love to all our siblings with psycho social disabilities.
We see you, we love you and we support you - always.
Tonights hateful, dismissive language does not reflect reality.
Please reach out, we are here.
#CBLive
Ourselves and @disabled_choice are currently in tears outside #CBLive. What is really clear is that our lives as disabled women don't matter in this country. We are 68% of maternal deaths. We should matter. We need to be #Together4Yes, for our health and our lives.
The 8th didn't save any of us. Removing it will save us, save us from being forced to continue pregnancies that risk our health.
It will allow us to do that with the doctors who know us, and our history.
#Doctors4yes #ReproductiveRightsAreDisabiltyRights
Today we announced the formation of a new disability org @DW_Ireland. This is an organisation for disabled women by disabled women. The only one in Eire.
The organisation is rooted in the #Together4Yes campaign, we grew out of @freesafelegal and @repealeight activism.
We heard a rumour that some of these badges might make there way to Dublin on Friday. #DisabledFeministRevolution nitter.gq/disabled_choice/status…
Hmmmm I wonder which way Evie is voting on May 25th? Check out our brand new Disabled People Together for Yes badge! Thanks to @westcork4choice for helping us out producing them. #together4yes
Also @ClaireH69039864 and @nifhla got some serious planning done for Friday. They are going to be great - you don't want to miss it. nitter.gq/PWDTogether4Yes/status…
