Last week DCIL, celebrated The international Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd 2021.

  • Financing and administering a centre which provides premises for a range of services with disabilities in Donegal.

That includes growing up with their families, attending the local school, using the same bus, gaining employment which is in line with their education and abilities, having equal access to the same services and establishments of social life, culture and leisure.
