We also did the voices project which prove our voices are there for everybody to know our opinions with everything got to do with advocacy. There’s always an advocate in self advocacy."

"It means like when someone is talking to someone and the other person is listening."

"I like going to meetings and I think that (advocacy) is very important to everybody in the group. We could have a meeting with President Higgins and talk about the government, the very important work and the issues and the parties in Leinster House. It’s important to talk about money and wages and bills."
