Disability Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
1:00 pm
Tony Kett (Fianna Fail)
I support the Minister of State's view. The word "disability" conveys exactly what the Bill is about. The amendment refers to the "assessment and services for people with disabilities", but says nothing about treatment. If one is going to be prescriptive, one should take into account all the elements associated with the needs of people with disabilities.
The word "disability" is all encompassing so, as in the case of the Garda Síochána Bill, it is unnecessary to subtitle everything the Disability Bill stands for.
