Written answers

Minister for Finance

I welcome the findings of this important report and note that it has been referred to the National Disability Inclusion Strategy Steering Group chaired by Minister of State Anne Rabbitte T.D. to consider what actions should follow.  

I look forward to engaging with my Government colleagues and in particular with Minister of State Rabbitte in the matter.
