Disability Matters: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2026-04-22
============================================================

Pauline Tully (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I wish to clarify something here. The statement I made about nothing in the budget for disability related to the cost of disability. I was very clear about that. No double payments or energy credits were given. I did not say there was nothing in the budget for disability. I said there was nothing to address the cost of disability, which I recognise is not something in this Minister of State's Department.
