Members of Tipperary DPO meeting with Ruth Smith, Coordinator of Tipperary Public Participation Network to explore ways of working together.

Tipperary DPO

Last week, representatives from Tipperary DPO travelled to Clonmel for a productive meeting with Ruth Smith, Coordinator of the Public Participation Network (PPN) in Tipperary.

The hybrid meeting focused on how we can work together to strengthen the voice of disabled people locally and influence decision making spaces. We benefited greatly from Ruth’s knowledge of both the statutory and community sectors across the county.

Importantly, Ruth has agreed to meet with Tipperary DPO members again in May to give a presentation on how the PPN works and how disabled people can get involved.

This is how change happens. Disabled people organising, connecting and taking up space where decisions are made.
