Disability (Personalised Budgets) Bill 2024: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-06-25
============================================================

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 1:
To delete “18 months” and substitute “6 months”.
I thank the Minister of State for giving us her time. She is at a disadvantage when she comes in halfway through a debate but that is not her fault. I have no doubt she has a good grasp of the legislation and that she may have been looking in from the ante room.
It is proposed that the amendment would read: “Seanad Éireann resolves that the Disability (Personalised Budgets) Bill 2024 be read a second time this day 6 months, to allow for the completion of a Personalised Budget Demonstrator Pilot which is expected to conclude at the end of the year.” I did not say it was going to conclude at the end of the year. The Minister did.
