Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh:

I echo Ms Gibney but when we are talking about roadmaps, there is something profound in realising we have no disabled people who are senior civil servants. We have no disabled people who are senior policymakers. At least as far as I am aware, we have no openly out and proud disabled Senators or Deputies.

That in itself is where the end of the roadmap should be. We are nowhere near to that and nowhere near to where we should be. It is worrying that we do not have advocates in senior positions in all Departments. I go back to my opening remarks about the situation with disability being stagnant. It is frightfully worrying.
