I am sorry, but I will not engage in a broader rhetoric on budgetary proposals this morning. I would like us to focus on the Disability Federation of Ireland's views on its specific sector. What decisions could be made? Should there be a balancing between advocacy and service delivery? Are we spending too much money on advocacy or could we increase efficiencies for the end user of services?
