Aontú Senator Sarah O'Reilly has highlighted the Before We Die campaign and initiative.
The campaign highlights the fear shared by parents of children with disabilities about what happens children when they are gone.
Cavan Senators Sarah O'Reilly and Pauline Tully both highlighted the campaign in the Seanad last week.
Senator O'Reilly called for the development of assisted living facilities that provide accommodation, and a community for people.
She said that many people in the Cavan-Monaghan region "want" those facilities in the region.
Speaking in the Seanad, she said these models show that these spaces can help people with disabilities live full and meaningful lives.
Senator O'Reilly addressed the Minister of State at the Department of Children, Disability and Equality, Emer Higgins.
She said: "One campaign that has really struck a chord with me is the Before We Die campaign and initiative. It highlights a quiet but urgent fear shared by many parents of children with disabilities. What happens to my child when I am no longer here? Where will they live? Who will look after them?
"It is a question that carries enormous emotional weight and worry for parents. We have examples of what can be done, particularly in Donegal. We have seen the development of assisted living facilities that provide not just accommodation but independence and community.
"Many people in my area of Cavan-Monaghan tell me about this and want it for themselves. I am sad that they can only dream about something similar in our counties. These models show that with the right investment and vision, we can create spaces where people with disabilities are supported to live full and meaningful lives.
"It is the Minister of State's job to look at that and to replicate it across the country. When she spoke earlier I heard a lot of words about frameworks, policies and legislation. I kept asking myself where the tangible benefit is for the people I represent.
"We seem to have been on a merry-go-round of all these things for years. It is tangible benefits on the ground that these people are living, waiting and hoping for," she added.
