asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the specific measures taken to publicise the UN Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons since its adoption in December 1975.
Written Answers. - Disabled Persons' Rights.
388.
The terms of this declaration have been brought to the attention of the main public bodies concerned with the provision of health services in Ireland. As the Deputy may be aware, 1981 has been designated the International Year of Disabled Persons and I understand that preliminary consideration is being given in the Department of Health to the measures which it will be appropriate to take on behalf of the disabled in that year. The sentiments and aims of the declaration will be borne in mind in determining these measures.
