Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (7 Nov 2023)

Pauline Tully: General comment 7 of the UNCRPD is clear. DPROs must be consulted by public bodies, local authorities, etc., on issues relating to disability. Many of them consult with disability organisations, but these are not necessarily DPROs. We need a register of DPOs, with a criterion indicating what a DPO is and an outline of the different categories of disability, namely, whether it is physical...
