Dr. Aideen Hartney:

IHREC is working hard on processes to gather more information and provide more meaningful guidance on how the public sector duty is applied. To date, we have not had a role in this context. Something like that could be an indicator within a monitoring framework for the new UNCRPD implementation strategy to the extent to which disability is referred in the public sector duty plans that all public bodies are required to prepare. That would be something we could potentially feed back to IHREC, but it has the monitoring duty for the application of section 42. Dr. Tamming has done significant work on this.
