On the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Bill, does the Minister share my concerns and those of thousands of families of people with disabilities who were at the gate of the House yesterday that they may lose their respite and care services or have them cut in the next couple of weeks?

When will the Bill be tabled? The matter can be discussed when it comes before the House.

There is widespread anger about cuts in services for people with disabilities. Will the Minister support me and the families in question in relation to human rights and equality?

We only deal with the timeframe for taking legislation on the Order of Business. The Bill can be discussed when it comes before the House.

The heads of the Bill were approved by the Government in May. The estimated time of publication is the middle of next year.
