Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Climate Crisis and Disability: Discussion
Michael Moynihan (Cork North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I thank Dr. Mooney, Ms Gilmartin, Mr. Walshe and Mr. Kearns for their engagement this morning. I also thank our members. With climate action and the changes that are developing within society, there are probably two words that stand out from this morning's discussion: "rights" and not "charity", which is the simple language we can all deal with. While there is an attitude change within society about being inclusive, it is rights versus charity. That is what we need to keep saying.
I thank the members very much for their co-operation this morning, and for their attendance and dedication to the committee. I thank our committee team for all they do for us. Our meeting now stands adjourned.
