Disability rights groups target Dáil

DISABILITY rights groups will march on the Dáil tomorrow in protest at the Government’s refusal to provide them with full-time workers to care for wheelchair users.

They will be demanding that the Taoiseach lives up to his pledge not to allow the legacy of the Special Olympics to die.

The disability groups want the Community Employment Scheme (CES) workers caring for wheelchair clients be mainstreamed so they do not lose their jobs after three years.
