Michael Moynihan (Cork North-West, Fianna Fail)

The new section on disabilities that has been established within the Department of An Taoiseach is the lead body. The subcommittee on housing has met most often to date but the subcommittee on disability is second in that regard. That subcommittee comprises all of the Ministers and Secretaries General of the Departments, senior departmental officials, together with representatives of the HSE and other relevant bodies. It meets once a month to move issues forward. There is a very serious level of engagement by all stakeholders in order to make the lives of people with disabilities better into the future. All Ministers, Departments and officials are coming to that in a very meaningful way in order to make a difference.
