It is ironic that representatives of many Irish disability rights organisations are giving evidence to the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Trade which is meeting in the committee room next door. I thank Ms O'Donovan for her presentation. I welcome her and her boss, Senator John Dolan. She has given us an in-depth insight into how well Ireland compares with other countries in Europe in this area. It is all about principles and values.

On funding, Ireland has committed to paying a certain amount of GDP in foreign aid. Is there any wording in the convention which stipulates that Ireland will commit to paying a certain amount to provide proper services for people with disabilities?
