MDI fully supports Dr Rosaleen McDonagh’s article calling on the government for action on disability, not talking.

Shaping the new Programme for Government, there is an opportunity for innovation and joined-up thinking.

It gets thrown about by politicians, media and service providers as if it recently became part of the Zeitgeist. We saw it happen in the recent election.
