Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not aware of all of the details but that does not mean that we are not making progress in many of the areas of provision. I know that in his own Department, he has made very specific provision for disability. In my Department, we provided additional resources for children with special educational needs. In terms of rolling out services, there is a very strong commitment by the Government to support people with disabilities. In terms of the actual ratification of the convention, which requires certain legal instruments, work is ongoing on that.
