Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Patrick O'Sullivan:
I do not agree that it has not happened yet. In the context of disability, there has been strong collaboration and that is improving under the new strategy. The Government is very much aware of this and has the arms of the State working collaboratively. We are also working with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, which the Senator has mentioned, in the context of international protection. We are doing as much as we can from our Department's perspective. The Government is fully ensuring a whole-of-government approach to delivery.
