RTE and the National Lottery could not make the set of Winning Streak accessible for a disabled participant to play the various games. Derek Mooney did the things that she couldn’t do. Equal Status Act how are you!
That is my abiding memory of Saturday night telly – after I got over the shock of seeing a disabled person on the television that is – not talking about their disability. Pity they had to buy a scratch card to do so. In fact it is not the first time I have seen someone with a disability on Winning Streak – maybe that’s how all disabled people are supposed to get on television if they are not starring in People in Need.
