Ms Ger McTavish:

I can come in on this. I thank the Senator so much for the question. Currently, we are looking to the European Disability Forum, which will give us great guidelines and direction across policies and frameworks. It will also give us specific guidelines on transport, accessibility, mobility issues and adaptable equipment.

We also look to our European counterparts. Ireland is quite a leader in this area. We are currently working on the sport for all project with the European Council and several other countries. That project is looking at how we can make the world we live in more accessible and, in making sure the European accessibility act is part of that, that our Internet and services are accessible for people with a disability living at home. This is so they can know where their closest club or local sports partnership is and can engage with people at their local level from their homes.

Apart from the European projects we have been looking at, we have also been looking at the Global Disability Summit. That is an initiative that happens every four years. It is about the sharing of best practice that ties in with the UNHCR and the World Health Organization's global directives. In our European counterparts, the best practice we have seen is probably in Belgium and Switzerland. We have worked very closely with our counterparts in New Zealand and Wales as well. We are leading in some of these areas across some of the European projects we are currently running through.
