This amendment will allow for disabled persons and their representative organisations to be consulted by the director when codes of practice are being developed. Consultation was a strong theme during pre-legislative scrutiny and was also raised during the Dáil debates on this Bill. I am, therefore, pleased to propose an amendment which recognises the importance of the inclusion of disabled persons in the development of the relevant code of practice.
