Stop Targeting Disabled People with Discriminatory Policies - Tear up the Green Paper
Tear up the Green Paper on Disability Payments in Ireland - the idea of a 3-tier system forcing people to prove "incapacity" is disgraceful, dehumanising, and discriminatory.
Please sign, share, and write to your FF/FG/GP TDs, Senators, and Cllrs and tell them to discard this despicable Toryesk proposal, consult us, and provide the real means to access employment opportunities on an equal basis with others.

Why is this important?
Disabled people want to live full and equal lives. We want to work in secure, adequately paid employment with the necessary education, skills, qualifications, access, opportunities, and services i.e. Personal supports and transport. Forcing people into discriminatory and degrading assessments and being categorised based on impairments for the purpose of social protection is degrading, inhumane, and tramples over our human rights as per UN Convention on Rights of People with Disabilities and the Employment Equality Act.
