Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Disabled People's Organisations and the Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

Mr. Leo Kavanagh:

To answer Deputy Ellis's question on the register of all DPOs, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, affectionately known to us as DCEDIY, along with its Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, and its Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, must immediately organise a register of all DPOs. The DPOs that should be on it are disabled persons' organisations led, governed and managed by persons with disabilities. The members should be persons with disabilities only. Let us cut out the middleman; come to us, please.
