Two leading campaigners have resigned in frustration from a national steering group for improving children’s disability services, branding its new strategy “pure fantasy”.

Fuss Ireland's Rebecca O'Riordan and Aisling Byrne, of DCA Warriors, announced their resignation on Monday, leaving their roles as two of the three parent representatives on the group they had been appointed to as part of the process shaping the HSE’s Roadmap to Improve Children’s Disability Services 2023-2026 document.
