Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Equality and Non-Discrimination: Discussion
Ms Elaine Dennehy:
I do not think there is any legislation in Ireland that would protect me because my sensitivity is only becoming acknowledged. I am not sensitive to the sun and I do not need sunglasses on the brightest of days but LED technology is so new that there is no legislation for something as specific as that. At the end of the day, I suffer from migraine and new daily persistent headache, NDPH, which are considered disabilities. There are people with disabilities who are covered under Irish legislation but there is nothing specific for LED or artificial light sensitivity.
