Cork Centre For Independent Living (Cork CIL) was opened in
1996 by People with Disabilities. In our 12th year, we are committed to
working towards the removal of barriers to inclusion i.e. an
inaccessible physical environment, lack of
appropriate
transport, suitable housing and
rights-based equality legislation for
People with Disabilities.
CILs in
Ireland are funded primarily through their regional boards
in the Health Services Executive and FÁS. Each CIL is
autonomous and they provide a range of services to people
with a disability. Cork CIL
