Petition For Funding For Door to door Transport Service For persons with Disabilities in County Clare

This service would be a huge loss for so many families, needs to kept-no more cuts!!

An absolute necessity

This is a disgrace! Disabled people above all others need access to transport and should be first in line for funding.

Without this service, those that are already marginalised will become even more so, which is not acceptable!

A disgrace this services has to continue

Disabled in rural areas need this service,

this is a fantastic service that deserves to be funded

An affront to all the people of the country!

This is such an important service for all using it. It needs to stay in operation.

Fantastic idea hope it gets go ahead

Clare needs this service!

The Government of Ireland has repeatedly failed to deliver on it's promise to ratify the UN CRPD - The purpose of the convention is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity. How can the Government possibly stay true to it's 'promise' to ratify the treaty if it continually cuts funding and therefore takes away the independence and autonomy that it 'promises' to give back to people with disabilities? Is it not also true that cuts to existing services without providing for similar or better alternatives constitutes a breach of Ireland’s obligations under the CRPD (the Convention has been signed by Ireland), despite a lack of ratification. The cuts to existing services that impact upon article 19 obligations effectively mean that Ireland has breached its EU obligations, as well as those directly under the CRPD which stem from the Vienna convention.

Very important service

Such a great service to all the families that need it.

Great place hope not gets the funds

Unbelievably sad, such a great service, funding cut to the minority groups who really need it.
