I presume the Minister of State will have to accept that the Green Paper on disability reform has been met with almost universal criticism and opposition from people with disabilities and campaigning organisations. A protest will take place at 12 noon today outside Leinster House. There are activists in the Gallery right now. It is time to withdraw the proposal in the Green Paper to introduce a tiered benefit system similar to the Tories' work capability assessment.
