Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
UNCRPD and the Optional Protocol: Discussion
Mary Seery Kearney (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank Mr. Clyne and I thank the Chair for indulging me. I am 100% behind the ratification of the optional protocol urgently but my concern is there is a danger that it is not quite the white knight that people may consider it to be unless it is influencing judicial determinations and every aspect and that everybody understands it and makes a huge paradigm shift as to the rights of persons with disabilities.
