Ms Lianne Quigley:

I thank Deputy Wynne for her question. I will briefly explain what the DPO Coalition is. Two years ago, we had no national independent organisation here in Ireland and so the Irish Deaf Society and other disabled persons' organisations got together to set up the DPO Coalition, the aim of which, as we have discussed throughout the meeting, is to create a shadow report on the Government's performance on the UNCRPD. The Disability Participation and Consultation Network, DPCN, along with the disabled persons' organisations, was involved in these meetings and received funding to proceed with them. I am not sure if that answers the Deputy's question. I do not know if my colleagues from the Irish Deaf Society, IDS, would like to add anything.
