Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Teachta Callaghan. I congratulate her and her family and wish her the very best in her time in Dáil Éireann. In respect of the new disability unit, we have already had meetings and I have already identified to my officials that I want a disability unit which works with all Departments in respect of the broad issue of disability to make sure that, over the next while, both in the context of the next budget and specific issues such as education and access to therapies, we make quick, decisive moves to improve the situation for children and families in particular. That is the objective. It will take a whole-of-government approach, however, to co-ordinate across every single Department, from employment of people with disabilities to education, healthcare needs, access and transport, housing adaptation and much more.
