Disability rights campaigner Cara Darmody criticizes the Taoiseach and cabinet for violating laws concerning Assessments of Needs (AONs) for disabled children, as many are not assessed within the mandated six-month period. She founded her argument on personal experiences with her brothers who are autistic and disabled and expressed frustration over the lack of accountability. Darmody insists that the issue should be declared a national emergency as the waiting lists are expected to balloon to 25,000 children. She calls out the government's inaction while still expressing admiration for individual cabinet members.
Let's cut straight to the chase - I'm here today to call out the blatant Assessments of Needs law-breaking by the Taoiseach and the Government.
Three different taoisigh have made promises to me to fix this issue, and all have dramatically failed.
There are more than 15,000 children left to rot on HSE Assessments of Needs waiting lists, and that figure will go to 25,000 by Christmas.
The Cabinet are breaking the law, the Taoiseach is breaking the law.
