Children of 16 or 17 years of age, whether or not they have a disability, have hopes and aspirations. The hopes and aspirations of some people are, because of policy decisions, being discriminated against, which is scandalous. That this is being done, despite the fact that money has been made available to fulfil those hopes and aspirations, is hard to stomach. This is a decision which all political parties in the Oireachtas must challenge.
