Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

In light of the publication of the cost of disability in Ireland research report last year, which showed that having a disability can cost on average between €9,500 and €11,700 extra per year, and given the commitments to the disability sector in the programme for Government and the fact the costs cut across all different sectors from transport to medicines to housing adaptations, will the Taoiseach confirm all Departments will respond with a plan to cut the costs for people with disabilities as soon as possible early in the new year?
