Committee on Disability Matters
Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh:
When I was very young, I learned to have little faith regardless of the Act but I do have faith in the UNCRPD. This is about setting universal standards in all areas of our lives around access to services and redress. I hope that much more effort would be put into the implementation of the UNCRPD rather than the Act. Acts come along but are rarely implemented.
