My amendment is very similar but there is an additional provision in Deputy Shortall's amendment. I will withdraw mine and support her amendment. The thrust of my amendment came from an advocate or colleague from the Independent Living Movement Ireland, Ms Selina Bonnie. Sadly, Selina passed away earlier this year. Essentially, what she was looking for was that we would recognise the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in the AHR legislation. This was a suggested amendment that came through that body and was authored by Selina. We were asked to submit it, which we did. As Deputy Shortall said, it is to ensure the language is accessible for people with disabilities but also in plain English. I missed the previous response the Minister may have given to this. I will withdraw my amendment on the basis that there is a similar one with an additional provision and will be supporting Deputy Shortall's amendment.
