Niall Crowley resignation - Letter
The resignation of Niall Crowley as CEO of the Equality Authority in protest at the 43% cut in its budget coupled with decentralisation of its staff to Roscrea is a rare act of real principle. Mr. Crowley has led the Authority with great distinction and credibility since it came into being ten years ago. He provided measured counterpoints to predictably shrill condemnations of 'political correctness', reiterating the core principle of equality law that the only right it proscribed was the right to discriminate.

First, I should introduce myself. I am a man with cerebral palsy and a wheelchair user. For more than 30 years I have been involved, to different extents, in the disability rights movement. I am the author of Rebel on Wheels, the biography of Liam Maguire 1943-1983. Without doubt Maguire was one of the first in Ireland to lead the way towards bringing disability onto the political/legal stage and away from being exclusively viewed as a matter for charity. However this is not really about Liam Maguire.
