Achievements

CIL has proven to be an effective voice of people with disabilities and has contributed significantly to national policies in relation to people with disabilities over the past number of years..

We are an organisation of people with disabilities. Therefore we have the closest possible experience in this area.
We have demonstrated that we can work in partnership and effectively with a wide range of voluntary and statutory agencies.

We have been actively involved on the international stage. We have established invaluable links with key organisations and individuals across Europe and we actively seek out transnational partnerships. We are an active member of the European Network on Independent Living (ENIL).

We have enabled people with disabilities to take control of their own lives and to exert their choices. Some of the projects initiated by CIL include:

Introducing the first personal assistance programme in Ireland thereby enabling people to take greater control of their lives. This has been the singular most significant development for independent living in the history of the State.
Establishing Vantastic - an accessible transport system. Transport is the key to opportunity and Vantastic has offered many new opportunities to disabled people.
Initiating a variety of capacity building training programmes in partnership with other organisations.

Our archives hold a wide variety of reports of successful CIL projects over the years.
