Ireland remains the only country in the EU that has failed to ratify the UNCRPD after the Netherlands and Finland ratified it last year.
Disability rights activist Joanne O'Riordan - along with over 100 disability organisations - is planning a public demonstration in Dublin on Thursday, 30th March to highlight the 10-year anniversary of Ireland's failure to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
The demonstration will be taking place outside Dáil Éireann, Kildare Street, Dublin 2 at 11.00am.
To join the conversation use the hashtags #makeequalitythepolicy and #RatifyCRPD
