Choosing between heating & eating: disabled people’s cost of living crisis
Episode 410
Sunday, 22 February, 2026
Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic Rory speaks to Joan Carthy of the Irish Wheelchair Association about the cost of living crisis facing disabled people and their campaign for an emergency cost of disability winter payment. Joan explains how disabled people feel like they were pawns in the election after promises were made by Government but then their supports were cut in Budget 2026. Joan talks about the reality of having to choose between heating and eating and their campaign and determination to change things. Editors note: The campaign has received support from Affordable Ireland.
