In the opening statement, we heard the Department taking responsibility for ensuring good health and well-being for all individuals across their life course, including people with disabilities, very seriously and being acutely conscious of the obligations under the UNCRPD.

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sinn Féin is not opposing the amendment. However, I must say that a number of the justifications used by the Minister of State in describing the amendment are not factually correct. I would like to give him the opportunity to clarify some of the aspects behind this very specific amendment given that it is a very significant amount of money. The LDA does not have access to over...
