Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

National Disability Inclusion Strategy: Discussion

Dr. Rosalyn Tamming:

The fact that those spaces and mechanisms are not fully worked out is one of the reasons the strategy is not moving along as fast as it might. It is not that there is disagreement but how the consultation process is going to work has not been fully worked out. That has to be worked out fully first before we can move into what one could consider a normal consultation process, getting into the nitty-gritty on actions and so on. It is a very important point and we hope the disability participation and consultation network, DPCN, will review this and help the Department to make some decisions around that. The DSG exists now but was not part of the DPCN review. Everything has to fit together without any conflicts arising, so it is an area still to be explored.
