“Our lives shouldn’t be subject to availability,” was the call from activists in Dublin, as demonstrators gathered to demand equality in the likes transport, housing, and healthcare for people with disabilities.

The Access for All campaign group protested outside Clontarf Road Dart station to raise awareness of the difficulties they face accessing basic services each day, and to urge the Government and others to take action to support them.
