Deputy Ó Cuív, who sits on another committee with me, always says recommendations are worth nothing unless they are actioned. We can do all the writing in the world and fill up all the offices in the world, but that will be worthless unless the recommendations are actioned, and there has been very little action. As someone from the Traveller community, I always say there should be "nothing about us without us". We can advocate on behalf of people with disabilities or disabled people, but these people should be in our Parliament.
