Sinn Fein has stated that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil must acknowledge their failure to support people with disabilities.
The party expressed disappointment with the recent Budget, describing the €10 disability allowance increase as "pitiful" and insufficient to offset the cost of living crisis.
According to Deputy Leader Pearse Doherty, the increase will be "eaten up" by the rising cost of living.
