Met with HIQA today to express our views on the criminal behaviour in the Nursing homes on the recent #rteprimetime programme, our rejection of the HIQA categorisation of same as ' care deficits' and our call for cultural and legal changes within the nursing home sector.

Criminally charge those who abuse, physically or emotionally older, disabled people. Replace HIQA which is not fit for purpose. Support Independent Living at home and in the community Stop warehousing the old and disabled for profit Proper training for staff, not online QQI 3/3

What we witnessed was not care. It was systemic harm, pushing, shoving, grabbing, neglecting. It was emotional and physical harm. It was degrading. It was abuse, it was criminal. We call on the government to immediately: 2/3

Young disabled people being trapped in nursing homes is one of the greatest injustices of our time. During every election the housing crisis is rightly discussed, but no one talks about the over 1,200 young disabled people forced to live in nursing homes.

As a self advocacy group we respectfully ask voters to remember the older people, people with disabilities and families who support everyday in your voting decision tomorrow? We hope that all parties who supported the Care Reg reflected and see each person as equally important.

The establishment of the interdepartmental committee on the optional protocol in the middle of the Care referendum debate was interesting timing. We asked the government to ethically and comprehensively ratify the optional protocol with the resources necessary.

If 42B had passed, would the government make it look like the needs of disabled people and older people had been met by placing the responsibility back into families? How grateful we are people of Ireland rejected a constitution that risked institutionalising people in our homes?

When pointedly asked about disabled children MM ignored and deflected, back to general health! Statistics are manipulated all the time. Full unemployment while 70% of disabled people are unemployed, 1300 people forced in nursing homes not counted in the homeless statistics.
