Election 2024 – Inclusion Ireland Manifesto

Wednesday 23rd October 2024

The General Election will take place before the end of this year.

As a part of our campaign for Election 2024, we have developed our own manifesto and other resources to support our members to advocate and make sure that our voices are heard by all candidates.

What is a manifesto?

A manifesto is a publication issued by a political party before a General Election. It contains the set of policies that they stand for and would wish to implement if elected.

Inclusion Ireland’s manifesto is a call to action for all political parties who are seeking votes to become the next elected government. We call it a manifesto as we want it to be used by political parties and to be reflected in their own manifesto. We want to make sure that people with an intellectual disability and their families have their voices heard. We want to bring the focus back to people’s human rights and their access to good quality services and supports.

Our manifesto highlights barriers faced by our members and the solutions to overcome them. Areas highlighted include education, cost of disability and housing. Others are more general and highlight areas like legislation, the disability budget and cross-departmental collaboration.

Inclusion Ireland’s manifesto is focused on the long term answers rather than the short term fixes.

How will I use the manifesto? 

You can use this manifesto in a few different ways:

• You can print it out and go to your TDs on your own, or with your group, to give it to them.
• You can post it to your TDs with a letter saying that you support it.
• You can print it out and use it at home when a candidate comes to where you live and asks for your vote.
