Disability Services
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-13
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

The other evening in the debate around disability services, the Minister said on the optional protocol under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that ratification of the protocol is being scoped out and considered. Some seven years after we signed this protocol we are scoping out and considering. I find that to be an incredible answer to that question and I ask him please to explain what exactly he is going to do about this.
