Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I have a question on secondary legislation relating to the Disability Act. Sectoral plans were to be put in place by every Department, including the Departments of Finance, Health and Children, the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, and Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, which are all lead Departments. These plans were to be put in place by 31 July but were to be laid before the House before then. The Minister knows that nothing can happen without the sectoral plans. It is now a year since they were promised but we still have not got them. Will anything happen before the end of July and how will we deal with it?
