NCPD Autistic Advocacy Council of Ireland, formerly ICAAN

Today marks an important milestone with the launch of the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025–2030 in the Mansion House.

We’re especially proud to see strong voices from the DPO Network at the heart of this historic event. Huge cheers to Lianne Quigley (Irish Deaf Society) and Joe McGrath (National Platform of Self Advocates) for representing disabled people and showing the power of collective DPO leadership.

This strategy must be more than words — it has to deliver real change led by disabled people ourselves.

• Independent Living Movement Ireland (ILMI) is a national cross-impairment Disabled Persons’ Organisation (DPO) led by and for disabled people. Our vision is of an Ireland where disabled people have freedom, choice, and control over our lives, and where we are recognised as equal citizens.

• The DPO Network brings together ASIAM, Disabled Women Ireland (DWI), the Irish Deaf Society, Independent Living Movement Ireland (ILMI), and the Platform of Self Advocates. The Network works collectively to ensure disabled people’s voices shape the policies that affect our lives, in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People

The Wise family, Damon, Karen, Tangle and Daniel are going for a day trip to Fota. We should be there at 12 noon. We have decided to go because we have a new car and a family pass.

The extra Social Welfare payment is financing the fun.

AUsome Training wanted to create a way to platform amazing Autistic speakers and their messages – but needed a way to keep them open and accessible to our community and beyond. We pay our speakers for their time and expertise – but we keep the event free of charge for attendees.

We can do this because so many people have supported our work and now we want to pay that kindness forward. All we ask is that you pay it forward too by sharing these event with your friends and family or somebody who you think may benefit from knowing about us and what we do.

Thank you so much!
