Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The objective is to ensure coherence across all Departments and their agencies in regard to what is in the Disability Act, what the National Disability Authority has set down and the commitments in the sectoral plans so public bodies do all they can to ensure we have the best standards. The guidelines have been updated in regard to possible supports for collection. We must return this data to the Department of Finance annually. A sincere effort is being made to ensure everyone complies with the highest standards as per the commitments set down in the Disability Act.
