How do you think we can centre the voice of people with an intellectual disability in in a world that often finds it hard or sometimes refuses to listen to people who communicate in different ways?

I think that's a really good question.

And it's a question that we need to start asking in more spaces.

And there's two parts to it, isn't it? I mean, the act has come in and it affects all of us.

You know, it'll affect us perhaps more as life changes, as if we encounter challenges.
9:12
So every Irish citizen needs to get an understanding of what the act is and the supports around it.
9:19
And I think you're right.
