Following the completion of accessibility audits, local authorities are required to draw up implementation plans setting out programmes to give effect to the commitments and objectives contained in the Disability Act 2005 and the Department's related Sectoral Plan. Each implementation plan will be published and placed on the authority's website.

The following thirteen local authorities, including the nine referred to in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 53 of 14 November 2007, have forwarded a copy of their implementation plans to the Department. The remaining local authorities have indicated that they are at an advanced stage in the preparation of their plans and expect to complete and publish them early this year.
