Hi,
Deafblind Ireland seems to be a DPO set up by deafblind people that aims to become a representative organization. Although I am not very familiar with their exact activities, you can check out their website here and get in touch with them maybe: http://www.deafblindireland.ie/index.html
Best Regards,

Subject: The concept of Representation
Hi,
I am searching literature about representation.
If any group of persons with disabilities has not an organisation or in
any country, who represents them? Especially persons with deafblindness
are such group: blind people have lots of organisations, but these are not
representing persons with deafblindness.
In practice, deafblind people are more or less totally without
representation in many, perhaps even most countries.
We can ask about ourselves: if we go a country where nobody represent
deafblind people, who represents them on behalf of missing ones?
Riku
