Human Rights Issues.
4:00 pm
Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)
Would the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities have had an impact on the situation I outlined?
Does the Minister of State accept it is a disgrace that some Irish comedians ridicule people with intellectual disabilities in their acts? Is this behaviour in breach of equality legislation? I ask him to prioritise services for people with intellectual disabilities in the distribution of the extra €50 million in the budget.
