In this eye-opening episode of Beyond The Labels, we sit down with Rachel Martin, a passionate activist, parent and founding representative from FUSS Ireland. FUSS is a grassroots movement calling for change and demanding real support for parents and their children with additional needs.

Rachel takes us behind the scenes of her ongoing fight for change, exposing just how deeply broken Ireland’s current systems are. From education to government accountability and everything in between. With honesty and grit, Rachel shares what it means to be a voice for families across the country and the emotional toll of repeatedly bringing this battle to the Dáil.

Together, we dig deep into the policies, the politics, and the painful silence from those in power. This episode is a call to action, a reality check, and a reminder that real advocacy never sits quietly. Most importantly, Rachel highlights an extremely important upcoming FUSS demonstration taking place on the 7th of June. Starting at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin City Centre, the masses will march on the Dáil to fight for change in our system.
