I thank all members and witnesses. On universal design for local authorities and Government Departments, we have had many discussions on housing and the issue in terms of universal design. Is that not something that has to be accepted and implemented across all services and facilities? In our sister committee, the Joint Committee on Autism, the National Disability Authority highlighted SI 284 of 2016. The public procurement directive is now covered by SI 284. Is SI 284 implemented across all Government Departments and local authorities at this stage? Perhaps the Department and local authorities will answer that question.
