Committee on Children and Equality: General Scheme of the Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Discussion (8 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. I apologise for running in and out. The difficulty with this place is that everything is on at the same time. I will deal specifically with the NDA and disability. The opening statement is very short but, in fairness, there is a huge amount in it.

Committee on Children and Equality: General Scheme of the Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Discussion (8 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: This question is to IHREC. Regarding political ex-prisoners, the argument could be made on some level that some of this legislation might have been required previously.

At one stage, many of them had issues related to work. I remember a...
