Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Disability Inclusion and International Development Issues: Discussion

Mr. Charlie Lamson:

The next step will focus on putting clear and measurable aims in respect of disability into the framework of Irish Aid. I welcome the Deputy's suggestion to earmark elements in budgets for disability.

I will defer to others in the group to answer the question on disaggregated disability data. The Washington group questions are a much more accurate way for governments to engage with the question of disability and to find out the types and numbers of disability that exist in the State.
