The engagement will have to be ongoing because Professor Quinn has very useful information for us. May I put him on the spot? We will be deliberating over the coming weeks on the terms of reference we want to set as a committee. I speak for everyone who has attended our meetings recently and acknowledge they are passionate about what they want the committee to achieve. We are trying to advance the case of people with disabilities in Ireland and internationally. We have been challenged to implement the treaty in front of us. Could Professor Quinn state, in a sentence or two, what he would like to see reflected in our terms of reference so we may achieve the best outcomes possible for people with disabilities in the State and abroad?
