Committee on Disability Matters
Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Art O'Leary:
Yes. With the assistance of many external stakeholders, we are currently developing an education and public engagement programme that will reach out to schools, groups experiencing barriers, people involved in lifelong education, and the great swath of Irish people. We are going to pull together a strategy before the end of the year for how, in the period to 2029, we will reach out to ensure that everybody is eligible to vote and on the register, that everyone understands how to vote, how their vote works and the importance of voting, and that everybody will be encouraged to vote at election time.
