The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform co-ordinates Government policy on the National Disability Strategy and provides the Secretariat to both the Senior Officials Group on Disability and the National Disability Strategy Stakeholder Monitoring Group. The Department of the Taoiseach chairs both Groups. Each relevant Government Department is responsible for its own expenditure on disability. The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform has been allocated €2.66 million for expenditure under this heading in 2009 and expenditure to date is under € 2 million.
