Thomas Pringle (Donegal South West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 13:

In page 33, after line 38, to insert the following:“(c) carry out an equality and human rights impact assessment on all new policies, programmes and proposals in relation to budgeting and resource allocation.”.

It is vitally important that if public bodies respect human rights they must provide for new policies to be proofed against the human rights Acts. The Government must also ensure that adequate budgets and resources are made available for them to carry out their duties.
