PADDY FIRST BECAME DISABLE TWENTY YEARS AGO AFTER A STROKE

HE HAS RECENTLYWRITTEN A BOOK ON THE RESPONSE TO DISABILITY INCLUDING
TESTIMONYS OF WELL KNOWN DISABLED PERSONS.

Of limited ability.

REASON FOR GOING 
TEIGNBRIDGE,AND THE SOUTH HAMS HAVE WON AN WARD FOR 
FACILITATING PERSONS IN THESE EREA'S LESUIRE,TOURISM,
AND THE ARTS.

AND AS I AM ALREADY ON SOUTH WEST ARTS I TOO WAS INVITED

AND HE DID HINT THAT THE CHURCH NEEDS TO PLAY A GREATER
PART.
