Local Faces: Pat McCabe
Life can be difficult for disabled people and it’s always important to have, within a community, someone who will advocate for their interests, writes Ken Doyle.
Ballyfermot has one such man – Pat McCabe, a lifelong resident, is part of a group called ‘Smashing Barriers,’ and they work tirelessly to improve the lives of disabled people in the Dublin 10 area.
