Seanad: Disability Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2005)

Terry Leyden: Senator Terry's amendment is very reasonable. I know the Minister for State has been more than helpful in bringing forward amendments to this Bill in both Houses. He has been more than open to good suggestions. As Senator Quinn noted, quotas are a good example of setting targets. A quota of 3% seems to be very low in this day and age. If we had a quota of 3% for either men or women, it would...

Let us put things in perspective because there is more to the matter than meets...

Donegal has had difficulties, but my second cousin was a...
