Social Ability Kilkenny: Focusing on abilities rather than disabilities

Paul Crilly, 36, from Kilkenny City, was born with a mild intellectual disability. He recently established Social Ability Kilkenny, which is designed to bring people with and without disabilities together on a social level and to raise awareness of some of the issues. He explains why to Conor Kane

I don’t believe in talk, I believe in action.

I’ve just started a social group for people with, and without, disabilities, Social Ability Kilkenny. I got the idea from [Minister of State] Finian McGrath who said we shouldn’t be looking at other people’s disabilities, but at their abilities.
