Paudge Connolly (Cavan-Monaghan, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of Dáil Éireann under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent public and national concern, namely, the necessity to establish a ministry for disability affairs which would represent optimum value for money and maximum efficiency in the coordination of services to the entire disability sector; have responsibility for the drafting and enforcement of rights-based disability legislation; and to serve as a focus for providing disabled people with a full range of opportunities and choices to improve their quality of life and be respected and included as equal members of society.
