Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

To give assistance on that matter, a Cheann Comhairle, I very much appreciate the information given by the Taoiseach on the United Nations Convention against Corruption. The convention to which I referred this afternoon is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. I acknowledge that Ireland has played a role in drafting the convention but it is very important that we indicate that we intend to ratify that convention if we are to have framework legislation giving rights to people with disabilities.
