Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Taoiseach to reflect on what has been said and the fact that there was no notice to the Dáil. We were here all day yesterday but there was not a whimper of this. There was no notice to recipients or disability groups. We are not asking the Taoiseach to have a revolution. We are asking him simply to deal with the ombudsman's recommendation and do what should have been done a long time ago, which is to stop discriminating against citizens with disabilities who could have access to these two schemes. I ask the Taoiseach to go off and reflect on that. That would be the decent and honest thing to do this morning.
