Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

We honoured that commitment in the budget. The Government is absolutely committed to defending the position of people with disabilities and their families, working with them and supporting them. That work is underpinned by that being carried out by the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly, and the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Joan Burton. The Government has given a commitment to defend people with disabilities and ensure their needs are fully met.
