Students demand rights for people with disabilities
The students of National University of Ireland Galway and Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology gathered signatures in support of the campaign in recent weeks. The petition was also signed by local politicians, artists, musicians and educationalists.
Taoiseach Bertie Ahern was due to be given the petition when he opened a 30 million learning resource centre at GMIT. However, Mr Ó Cuív had to deputise when poor weather conditions prevented the Taoiseach’s entourage from landing in Galway airport.
