We heard at the meeting yesterday and in this meeting some contradictory information. Mr. Farrelly, for example, talked about extensive engagement with the diverse stakeholders during the process. Ms Flynn mentioned there was no public process organised by the Department to engage with disabled people's organisations. A couple of representatives of the National Platform for Disability attended yesterday's meeting. They felt they were excluded from the process and that their voices were not listened to. Does Ms Flynn feel that the consultation with people with disabilities that was in place was fair and adequate?
