"I should have been a plumber. My older brothers Ollie and Eamon went on to work in the Co Galway firm set up by my late dad. I would have done summer work with him in the mid-Nineties, but I had no aptitude for plumbing. You need a mechanical mind."
Alan Craughwell, founder of AssistiV Ireland and director of Mixed-Ability Sports Ireland, shares his career journey and perspective on accessibility in the workplace. Despite growing up in a family plumbing business in Co Galway, Craughwell pursued a different path due to lacking the mechanical aptitude required for the trade. His work focuses on leveraging technology to break down barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing employment opportunities and participating fully in the workforce.
