Rose Conway Walsh (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House to discuss this important matter. I also thank him for his genuine approach and his obvious understanding of the need to support people with disabilities and to ensure they have the rights that many of us enjoy. I welcome the disability advocates and those with disabilities in the Visitors Gallery as well. I thank them for their interest and for all the work they have done and continue to do on this matter. I thank Senator Dolan for what he has done, along with many others, including Senator Conway. I am very heartened to hear Senator Conway, as somebody who is part of the party in government, explicitly stating that we need to put resources for both people with disabilities and people who are vulnerable within our communities before tax cuts for the wealthy. I wish him well with that, and he has our full support. He can always join Sinn Féin if they do not do what he needs them to do.
