Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister of State's proposal to introduce a system of disability access certificates. As he has said, it will strengthen the level of accessibility afforded to people with disabilities. Such good practices are observed in other countries, such as Australia. While I welcome the proposals, I ask the Minister of State to reconsider the possibility of introducing them in this Bill. If they are to be included in a future Bill, why can they not be provided for in this Bill? A minor amendment would be required. I do not understand why we have to endure delays in this regard while we wait for further legislation to be prepared. The Minister of State can strengthen the Bill before the House by including the proposals in question in it.
