Phoenix FM Interview

We were thrilled to be interviewed recently by John Comiskey Blanchardstown Centre for Independent Living, on Phoenix FM on the lived experience of childhood polio and the later-life impact of post-polio syndrome.

In this episode of Disability Matters:
• The history of polio in Ireland & why vaccination still matters
• What post-polio syndrome is — and why it’s often misunderstood
• Mick’s personal journey from rehabilitation to advocacy
• The supports survivors rely on: emotional support, mobility equipment, heating grants, specialist therapies, peer networks & more.
• Why national awareness and investment remain critical

John’s show can be listened to live on Thursdays at 4pm on Phoenix FM

The show is produced by Blanchardstown Centre for Independent Living (BCIL) — supporting disability rights and independent living in Dublin 15.
