As the Minister knows, if we do not provide an arts and disability policy, we will be failing to extend access to people with disabilities. Not only that, we will also be failing to meet our international obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Creative Ireland has recently produced a beautiful publication. We have also seen publication of the policy framework, Culture 2025. However, the Creative Ireland publication does not contain anything specific for people with disabilities. I ask the Minister to comment on this.
