Two articles in yesterday's papers...

The first was in the Irish Independent where Noel Dempsey "called on the
telecoms companies to offer free text messaging for deaf people to help
make them feel included in society". 

If he's calling on private companies to make disabled people more included,
then it would be nice if the government made their websites accessible. ;)

The second was in a O2 flyer that was included with one of the papers...
The Taoiseach was quoted as saying that "It is imperative that we all do
our utmost to increase the numbers of people with a disability in
employment" when he recently lauched the O2 ability awards.

Making online tools accessible to all should be key to this...
