Education and the School Building Programme: Motion [Private Members] (29 Mar 2023)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (30 Mar 2023)

Gino Kenny: I thank the Minister for his comprehensive response. The UNCRPD was ratified about five years ago in this Parliament, and I am sure the Minister agrees it is a very good convention.

It is very important they have a...
