Questions on Promised Legislation
12:55 pm
Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The Bill that the Deputy referred to was enacted in 2015 and the disability Bill is awaiting Second Stage, as I understand it. We pointed out on a number of occasions that it would be necessary to put through a number of pieces of legislation before we could formally sign off on the ratification of the convention. I will advise the Deputy as to where the progress has been made. The Bill she referred to was enacted. Disability is another one of those elements that must be cleared by the Oireachtas before we can proceed to ratifying the convention.
