No limits
Mary Mulryan talks about Enable Ireland's work in Mayo
Willie McHugh
A human dynamo. And an unbridled enthusiasm for what she does. Job titles mean little to Mary Mulryan. That's why she struggles a little when asked what her official role is within Enable Ireland in Mayo. She's Community Fundraising Co-ordinator but her duties stretch way beyond that. It's governed by whatever needs doing at the time and Mary willingly rolling up your sleeves and getting it done.
"Just like everyone else around here does" she quipped when we caught up at work in Castlebar's Enable Ireland's shop on Hopkins Road. The always busy bric-a-brat outlet and browser's paradise is another source of income that supplements the funding from the HSE in Mayo.
When Mary Mulryan got involved initially back in 1992 it was known as Cerebral Palsy Ireland. Her oldest daughter Helen was born with cerebral palsy.
"When Helen was diagnosed I was in bits and had no idea where to turn. I was determined that no other parents would find themselves in a similar situation as we were in. But we never accepted that Helen had a disability, because in our eyes Helen was, and is, the same as everyone else. And Helen herself has gone on to lead an active and fulfilling life and her greatest love is Mayo football."
In 2000 the name was changed to Enable Ireland. Mary sees the positives behind that moniker adjustment. "It's far more suitable because it has now opened our doors to people with other needs besides cerebral palsy, and it means nobody is tagged with a particular ailment. And it also means everyone is going to become enabled and that's what we're about.
"I got involved initially with the fundraising selling the yellow ribbons. When I started first we had €82 in our account in Mayo but through the sales of the infamous yellow ribbons we suddenly had €4,500. The big plus in it is that all funds raised in Mayo are spent within the county. That's what attracted me to this in the beginning and that's very important. People can see where their money is going and how it's used.
"I was chairperson for three years and when the post of Community Employment Supervisor came up and I took that on. At the time the CEO of CPI, as it was then, gave us funding to purchase a bus and we travelled all over Mayo providing a service.
"My dream was always to have a one-stop shop as it were in Mayo and we realised that in 2008 when we opened our Safari Centre in Moneen.
"It provides essential services such as physiotherapy assessment and early intervention, hydrotherapy, social work, assistive technology and training, children's personal assistance, transport, summer activities, respite care to 330 children with cerebral palsy, spina bifida and muscular dystrophy in Mayo. "
Her pride in Mayo is evident as she talks of the support and goodwill towards Enable Ireland. "Without the people of Mayo we wouldn't survive. It's harder to fund-raise because of all the cutbacks and there's less disposable income now. It's as simple as that.
"A few years ago we'd get €20, and now it has gone down to €5 or even €2. But the great thing is people still contribute and we never have anyone walking by us without giving us something and that means so much.
"And nothing would be possible without the amazing group of volunteers we have. The wonderful thing is that so many of them have no need of the services we provide but they just want to help. They give of their time to work hours in the shop and provide assistance in the Safari Club. When I'm organising collections all I have to do is lift the phone."
Much has changed and mostly for the better since the days Mary Mulryan sold yellow ribbons around Mayo for Cerebral Palsy Ireland. 'No Limit' is their fund-raising banner now. No limit either to Mary Mulryan's energy for a job she loves and does with purpose.

From the Guardian: Disabled people win bid to protect independent living fund
thomas chambers thought you might be interested in this link from the Guardian: Disabled people win bid to protect independent living fund
Judges say government did not consider 'grave impact' of cutting services for those who rely on them
Press AssociationFriday 8 November 2013
The Guardian
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/nov/08/disabled-people-win-living-fund
----
Ministers will reconsider the abolition of the independent living fund after choosing not to appeal against an appeal court ruling that the move was legally flawed, the Department for Work and Pensions has said.
Three senior judges ruled there was "simply not the evidence" to show the DWP considered "the potentially very grave impact" of closure on severely disabled people who rely on the fund.
The case was brought by five disabled people among the 20,000 vulnerable recipients the fund helps to live independent lives in the community.
A DWP spokeswoman said on Friday: "In light of the guidance provided by the court of appeal, ministers will be invited to make a new decision on the future of the Independent Living Fund based on further advice.
"This government is absolutely committed to supporting disabled people and we continue to spend around £50bn a year on disabled people and their services."
Lord Justice Elias, Lord Justice Kitchin and Lord Justice McCombe unanimously agreed to quash the 18 December, 2012 decision to shut down the fund. McCombe said it was based on evidence that failed to reflect adequately the consultation responses, "indicating that independent living might well be put seriously in peril for a large number".
The judges ruled there was a failure by the government to comply with its public sector equality duty (PSED) to properly assess the effects of closure, as required under the Equality Act 2010.
Elias said: "Any government, particularly in a time of austerity, is obliged to take invidious decisions which may exceptionally bear harshly on some of the most disadvantaged in society.
"The PSED does not curb government's powers to take such decisions, but it does require government to confront the anticipated consequences in a conscientious and deliberate way insofar as they impact upon the equality objectives [of the Equality Act]."
The ruling was a victory for the five fund users, including Gabriel Pepper, from Walthamstow, east London, who accused the government of "a vicious attack on the disabled".
The other applicants were Stuart Bracking, Paris L'amour, Anne Pridmore and John Aspinall, who brought his case with his mother, Evonne Taylforth, acting as his litigation friend.
The average payout from the £359m ILF is £300 a week per recipient for them to employ personal assistants to help with personal needs.
Closing the fund would mean disabled people becoming entirely dependent on local authority services, with the ILF budget transferred to town hall control.
The DWP stressed the court of appeal accepted the consultation was carried out "properly and fairly" and that the ILF was closed to new users in 2010.

Subject: IL Newsletter, 27th November
| Hello Thomas Welcome to this week's Independent Living newsletter. If you prefer, you can read it online, by clicking this link Contents: 1. Charity Pay – What You Think 2. Martyn Sibley, Doing His Personal Best 3. Moving & Handling - How? 4. Terry Lifts' Lifestyle Choice 5. Older Citizens and the NHS 6. Latest Product News """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 1. Charity Pay – What You Think Last week's newsletter started off with an article comparing rates of pay at the top of the "charity" sector with the realities of life for a disproportionate number of working people with a disability, on minimum wage or less. Perhaps, like me, you have noticed a recent flurry of media activity from within the third sector, attempting to justify the high levels of remuneration. We had Mencap's chief exec in the Guardian (the article that triggered my piece), and she has been joined by Sir Stephen Bubb from Acevo, who explains that charity leaders have actually taken a "restrained approach" to pay, as this year's increase only averaged 3.2 percent. Meanwhile, Joe Saxton from the consultancy nfpSynergy points to the fact that chief executive pay has risen in line with income, and is therefore not "out of control". I thought you would like to know that these apologists are completely out of step with opinion amongst Independent Living newsletter readers. I've had a number of people getting in touch on this subject, and not a single one thought charities should be paying such big salaries. To give you a flavour, here are a couple of quotes. "I [..] work on a full-time and unpaid basis for my charity which is staffed entirely by volunteers and due to the diversity of the issues addressed by the charity, it regrettably receives no financial assistance from development grants. Needless to say, all members of the management committee (most of whom are disabled) gain their satisfaction by realising that they are helping towards supporting and improving the lifestyles of other disabled people and carers. Surely this is the definition of charity!!" That contributor asked to remain anonymous, but what follows is from Kieran McMahon, director of Disability Stockport, who is very happy to nail his colours to the mast: "The whole purpose of charities is that we do things differently and that we do the things that people want us to do for them. How about all charities ask their membership (you know, the people they work for) how much they should pay all staff? This way we might see front line people getting a rise and those at the top will have to stop apeing the global rip-off that CEO salaries has become... If any of the CEOs of charities who earn more than six figures want to move over - I have no doubt there are plenty of highly skilled and capable people willing to do their job for half the amount. My view is that it is an industry myth (to put it mildly) that the more you pay, the better the candidate." I think he sums it up rather nicely. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 2. Martyn Sibley, Doing His Personal Best A few days ago, I had the privilege of talking to Martyn Sibley, Britain's Personal Best ambassador, who describes himself as a regular guy who happens to have a disability called spinal muscular atrophy, which means that he can't walk, lift anything heavier than a book, or shower himself. He's never let this prevent him from doing what he wants with his life, and he currently runs his own business, including the online lifestyle magazine Disability Horizons; lives independently in London; and spends a lot of time working to break down the barriers that can prevent people with a disability from living and working as they choose. He turned 30 this year, and decided to mark the occasion with his girlfriend Kasia, by travelling from John O'Groats to Lands End by power chair and bicycle, respectively. That epic trip formed the starting point of the interview, but I was also interested to get his views on life with a disability in Britain today; the future for that much-vaunted Paralympic spirit of summer 2012; and the creeping ghettoisation of disability activism. You can listen to our discussion here. And while I am pursuing an audio theme, I was delighted to be invited to provide a monthly roundup of disability-related news on "Eyes on the County", a new weekly magazine programme hosted by Philip Anderson on Stafford FM. My first contribution took in low pay for disabled workers and carers; the WOW Petition; Sirus Automotive and their exuberant blogger, Kelly Gordon. You can listen here, and catch the show as it is broadcast, on a Friday evening at 7 PM """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 3. Moving & Handling – How? There are some subjects that I return to regularly, simply because they have such importance for so many people, and one of these is moving and handling. Specifically, using equipment such as hoists and slings, in order to transfer people who are unable to move independently, so as to minimise the risk of injury to either party. I have looked in the past at the difference between training and equipment provided for paid care assistants and informal carers – the latter often being expected to manage in circumstances that wouldn't be tolerated by any employer with half an eye on the risk of legal action by staff injured in the course of their duties. So I was particularly struck by the account that follows from somebody newly employed as a care worker: "I have been working as a Social Care worker for one month, in a large, well-known organisation, and frankly I'm appalled at the 'Moving & Handling' training, or rather lack of it. An hour or so at best, of formal practical training with a 'qualified' trainer. It's all very well saying, "this is the hoist, this is how it works", and an arbitrary demo using a co-worker as a 'dummy service user'. What I really needed to know was... how do we hoist someone into a bath, onto a commode, onto a toilet, onto a shower trolley? What happens if a service user slips through a sling etc etc. We are supposed to work in pairs when hoisting, but this doesn't always happen. Every Care Worker there seems to have their own way of doing things, and some are headless chickens. As I've never worked in Social Care before, I question whether I am ready to be 'let loose' so to speak. I'm very capable, but induction and training has been shoddy at best. I have been a supernumary for three weeks, which has caused me to be the subject of hostility from some colleagues, who made it plain that I should be made to 'get on with it'; but only to take the heat off themselves! I hate cliche, but I gave up a well-paid job to do this work because I'm passionate about it, but the training has been dire. Now I'm the subject of an investigation, by deed of being present during a serious hoisting accident caused by a senior colleague. I despair..." Hardly the most auspicious start to a new career, and I wonder how widespread the writer's experience is? Perhaps you can let me know, if you have any insight, either as a care worker, manager or service user. All the usual means are available - you can email me, send a message on our Facebook page or Twitter @IndLiving, or phone 0208 133 0628. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 4. Terry Lifts' Lifestyle Choice Once an unthinkably expensive statement of wealth reserved for the rich and famous, home lifts are now recognised by home owners, social care professionals and house builders as an affordable and practical way of future-proofing homes so residents can stay put well into retirement and live in independence. Terry Lifts have recently launched the new space-saving Lifestyle home lift that will add a touch of luxury to the home without breaking the bank. The Terry Lifestyle Lift combines all that you would expect in quality and comfort at home with the latest technological advances to help enable independent living. You can see the stylish new lift, and read more about it, here. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 5. Older Citizens and the NHS Contradictory news stories that provide a mixed picture of the health and well-being of older people in Britain. First, some research from Stannah, the stairlift people, shows that the over 65s are overwhelmingly happy with the care they receive from the NHS. Considering the relentless tide of negative NHS-related news stories, it is heartening to read that so many people are finding their own experience to be good. You can read more here. At the same time, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has published its annual State of Care report, which highlights the growth of "avoidable" emergency hospital admissions amongst older people. These admissions could be avoided, because they relate to problems that are manageable, treatable or preventable in the community, or that could actually be caused by poor care or neglect - such as pressure sores, bone fractures or dehydration. The number of older people aged 65 and over admitted as an emergency with 'avoidable' conditions is up from 374,000 in 2007/8 to 530,000 in 2012/13. And this increase is greater than the increase in the growth of the population. The increase in the numbers of people aged 75 and over being admitted as an emergency with these conditions is even greater, with a quarter of emergency admissions in this age group potentially avoidable in 2012/13. During 2012/13, more than nine per cent of people aged 75 and over across England experienced at least one emergency hospital admission for an avoidable condition (in 2007/08 it was about seven per cent). And finally, a piece of information that reminds us that – no doubt very largely due to better healthcare – significantly greater numbers of people are living to celebrate their 100th birthday. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), there are currently 12,320 centenarians in England and Wales, compared to just 2560 in 1982. For many of these, reduced mobility is an issue, so having appropriate aids, such as a manual wheelchair, powerchair or scooter, can make a critical difference to maintaining independence and quality-of-life. We've heard a lot about loneliness amongst older people recently, with the news that many GP appointments are motivated by feelings of isolation, rather than medical need, and the launch this week by Esther Rantzen of a new free telephone helpline for older people who feel isolated – so the importance of equipment that can enable someone who might otherwise be housebound to get out and about, can't be overestimated. Karma Mobility offers some useful advice: "Choosing the right wheelchair or powerchair can be daunting and finding a retailer who can give you the correct assessment and advice is vital - this is what we are here to help with. For example, self propelled wheelchairs are suitable for those who want to and can propel a wheelchair on their own, without assistance, whereas a transit wheelchair is best for those who are unable to propel themselves and need assistance. Powerchairs can, depending on the type, be driven on the road as well as the pavement, and are ideal for people who want to retain their independence but may not have the strength to manage a self propelled wheelchair. Karma retailers are trained to provide independent advice on choosing a good wheelchair or powerchair for individual requirements." You can see some of their range on their showcase page, and more on the choice of aids available in our mobility section. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 6. Latest Product News Some snippets of product news to around off this week's newsletter. Pressalit Care, who have specialised in adapted bathrooms for care homes, hospitals and other institutions for over 35 years, have just launched a range of washbasins designed for use in bathroom adaptations in the home. You can see more about Matrix basins here. Squirrel Medical have a new mattress which employs their unique technology to improve circulation. The Diamond Life Circulation mattress fits on any bed as a replacement for the existing mattress, and it can increase lymphatic circulation by up to 200%. You can see more about it here. AKW has safe bathroom heating options which are particularly suitable for social housing and care home environments, where it is extremely important to avoid any risk of scalding, while at the same time ensuring that the bathroom is warm and comfortable.

Subject: IL Newsletter, 20th November
| Hello Thomas Welcome to this week's Independent Living newsletter. If you prefer, you can read it online, by clicking this link Contents: 1. Poverty in Work 2. WOW Petition 3. Kelly Gordon - Blogger at Large 4. Wet Rooms for Care Homes 5. Latest for Sensory Impairments 6. Last Word... """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 1. Poverty in Work Just a week ago, my attention was caught by an article from the Guardian by the chief executive of Mencap, Jan Tregelles, explaining why she deserves a salary of more than £137,000 a year. She makes various points – that her job is not 9-to-5; that it is "complex"; that she has saved six million pounds in running costs; and that 90 percent of their funds go to supporting people with learning disabilities. It still seems wrong to me that charities feel they need to pay such large salaries in order to attract competent managers. I understand that in commercial arenas, the size of your pay packet may well be a measure of your success, but I would have thought that there are plenty of other ways to feel valued if you work in an organisation like Mencap (or many other equally high-paying charities). Knowing that you make a real difference to people's lives must be worth more than the number of noughts on your payslip, surely? And I would hate to think that anyone with such a job was only motivated to keep thinking about it "after hours" by the money. It contrasts strikingly with the reality of working life for many people with a disability, who are significantly more likely than others in the population to be paid the national minimum wage, or even less. The legal minimum hourly rate for adults went up last month to £6.31, so this is perhaps a good time to remind anybody affected by this to check that they are receiving all that they should. There are financial penalties for employers who underpay, as well as a public naming and shaming scheme, whereby the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills will circulate the names of employers who have been notified that they are underpaying staff, and either haven't appealed against this, or rectified the situation. Probably of more use, though - as an employee who has been underpaid, you can claim back any arrears, which might add up to a decent sum. There is a calculator you can use to make sure that you aren't being underpaid here. Or you can phone the Pay and Work Rights Helpline on 0800 917 2368 (textphone: 0800 121 4042). """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 2. WOW Petition I was reminded recently that the WOW Petition is very close to its closing date, 12th December. The petition calls for a Cumulative Impact Assessment of all cuts and changes affecting sick and disabled people, their families and carers, and a free vote on repeal of the Welfare Reform Act. It has been clear for some time that welfare reform is having a disproportionate effect on people with disabilities and carers, both those in work and, particularly, those who are too unwell for employment. As I write this, the petition has 83,979 signatures, and as you know, 100,000 is the magic number, as it obliges the government to consider it for a debate. Even if you aren't currently affected, do please sign: many people are suffering the effects of the reforms, and disability is something that could happen to any one of us at any time... here is the link. And while on the subject of disability benefits, one rather invidious situation is that anyone who is wrongly found "fit for work" will not be able to claim Employment and Support Allowance, and may find themselves looking to claim Jobseekers Allowance instead - a condition of which is that you are available for and actively seeking work. Normally speaking, claimants are expected to be ready to work 40 hours a week, but there are exceptions for those whose physical or mental health prevents them from doing so. You can download the regulations here. And although it scarcely gets a mention at the moment, Income Support may also be an option - you can read more about applying for this benefit, on the Independent Living website, here. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 3. Kelly Gordon, Blogger at Large In last week's newsletter, I promised a guest article from Kelly Gordon, who blogs for Sirus Automotive, amongst all her other activities. I'm pleased to say we now have it published on Independent Living, here - and it's a cracker. Kelly is a human dynamo, and if you were going to get stuck in a lift with someone, I reckon you could do a lot worse! Her piece takes in her stroppy teenage years (her assessment!), and some of her best life experiences so far, one or two of which might surprise you, if you have preconceptions about what a girl who depends on a powerchair to get around might get up to in her spare time. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 4. Wet Rooms for Care Homes The wet room has become a familiar feature in contemporary homes, and is an excellent example of inclusive design, as there are no boundaries or steps to make getting in and out of the shower area difficult for someone with mobility problems. The same stylish design is also available in a robust and durable range suitable for care environments which has just been launched by Gainsborough Specialist Bathing. With nearly 30 years experience as a manufacturer of assisted baths, Gainsborough has applied their knowledge and expertise to showering, with a range of modular enclosures, and now wet rooms. You can see more here, and our care home bathroom section - which includes bathing, showering and toileting - is here. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 5. Latest for Sensory Impairments Jolly Good Idea's showcase page has just been updated: their Voice Dialler is a neat solution for anyone who can't see to dial a number - or perhaps doesn't have the necessary dexterity. Being able to program a telephone to respond to voice commands is a definite bonus! You can see more here. And an interesting new approach to colour recognition for people who are blind or visually impaired. Feelipa makes one of those inspired connections that leaves you wondering why nobody has thought of it before. There are three primary colours: red, yellow and blue, which they have associated with the three basic geometric shapes – square, triangle and circle – which can be combined, just as the primary shades are combined, to get every colour imaginable. So, just as mixing blue and yellow gives you green, combining a tactile circle (blue) with a triangle (yellow) lets the visually impaired person know that green is the colour. Once you have the basics of colour blending sorted, more complex combinations are possible, along with light and dark tints, indicated by a series of bars for white, grey and black. Clever stuff! """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" 6. Last Word... And that's it for this week. Coming up next time, I will be looking at the vexed question of care home fees, and the scandalous gap between the amount paid by local authorities, and the charges levied on private clients. Also, the podcast interview with Martyn Sibley, who marked his 30th by travelling from John O'Groats to Land's End by power chair...

Unconstitutional Legislation
By William Finnerty
Note to a film maker ...
::::::::
L,
By coincidence, I sent an e-mail to Senator Michael Mullins (Republic of Ireland) yesterday regarding a closely related matter.
As you may already know, he grew up "within a stone's throw (almost)" of Woodlawn House, and a few members of his family (including his late father) were very closely connected with the nearby main-line Woodlawn Railway Station.
My e-mail to Senator Mullins of yesterday contains reference to the unconstitutional legislation -- criminally fraudulent and invalid legislation that is -- which enabled the construction of the nearby "Kilconnell Celtic Waste/Greenstar Rubbish Dump", and which is still "operational": though NOT lawfully (in my opinion).
The real-life story surrounding that particular example of "corruption-and-crime-ridden" piece of legislation is far scarier than any ghost story I've ever come across.
The thought crossed my mind that your film-maker contacts might like to consider making a film about the legislation in question, and all of the now more or less standard "government corruption, crime, cover ups, bullying, and impunity" procedures involved?

If so, it might be that they would be doing the world a great favour (in my opinion), as "unconstitutional legislation" is what lays at the heart of many of the extremely serious "austerity" problems that several of the nations of the world are battling with at the present time: and few more so perhaps than the Republic of Ireland?

Statement made by United States Congressman and Banker Louis T. McFadden (1876-1936) ....
"When the (US) Federal Reserve Act (of 1913) was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A super-state controlled by international bankers and industrialists...acting together to enslave the world...Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers but the truth is--the Fed has usurped the government."

NOTE: Many well-informed people believe Congressman Louis T. McFadden was murdered (by poisoning) for the purpose of ensuring he could not complete the huge amount of very detailed work he had put into preparing House Resolution No.158; and, as a matter of fact, House Resolution No.158, despite its great importance and potential for preventing global social problems on a massive scale, did die with him.

"On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest.
