Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Universal Design In Building: Discussion

Ms Celine Clarke:

I want to reinforce that point that if we had UD, it would cater for the ageing population. Given the current trend, about two thirds of the people over the age of 90 will acquire a disability. More of us will reach 90 and beyond. In order to be age-friendly and to future-proof, and to help us to realise our rights and live with quality, then UD is a basic minimum and what has been discussed already will be required.
