We have increased funding over the years but it is coming from a low base. We have €3.2 billion in the 2025 budget for disability but, as I said, we have so much more to do and so much more to fund. This is a top priority for the Government and we need to make sure we get it right. The only way we are going to get it right is to make sure we continue to engage with those disability groups and those with lived experience. The national disability strategy, which is at the final stages of its development, is not just a strategy that will sit on a shelf. There will be implementation, oversight and accountability on it.
