Gavin's vow to help disabled

'I will ensure an inclusive Aras an Uachtarain'

- BY KEITH FALKINER

PRESIDENTIAL candidate Jim Gavin has pledged to lead by example on driving inclusion for disabled people if elected on October 24.

Mr Gavin was speaking yesterday following a visit to SOS Kilkenny, which provides supports for adults with intellectual disabilities and autism.

"For me the single biggest challenge for Ireland is to ensure that all groups in our society are recognised and valued and this is particularly the case of disabled people, their families and carers," Mr Gavin said.
