Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Disability Inclusion and International Development Issues: Discussion

Ms Fatoumata Diouf:

I thank Senator Dolan for asking a question I was hoping to hear, namely, what can Ireland do to give hope to the people for whom we work. As important as funding is, sustainability is more important. To reach sustainability, it is important that Ireland is able to influence international policies such that disability is put at the heart of disability inclusive development. The topic needs to be pushed in the right forum such that it gets the echo it needs for important measures to be taken in favour of disabled people.
