Aisling McNiffe (Letters, April 2) offers cogent and coherent commentary on the plight of disability carers, as their children transit across the 18-year-old age threshold, finding diminished care options and dwindled support services.
Hers is a typical dilemma and, even at that, the pre-18 services are frequently limited and poor in many areas. Disability access to appropriate support is particularly found wanting in many areas in Ireland, where even simple physical access for wheelchair-bound people is so often missing, and disability needs are scurrilously overlooked.
