Jennifer, who has written extensively and with great passion for this newspaper on the issue of disability, won the Inclusion Ireland Media Award for 2012.

Expressing her delight last night, she said: “I feel very proud and privileged to get this award. Inclusion Ireland is a fantastic organisation and does great work. I am glad to have been able to play a part in bringing the experiences and personal stories of those with intellectual disabilities to public attention.”
