Disability rights legislation scrutiny

Summary

Carol Nolan asks when pre-legislative scrutiny of the disability-equality Bill will begin; the Taoiseach says it has been referred to committee and should proceed shortly.

The disability-equality (miscellaneous provisions) Bill allows for the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. The legislative programme clearly states that pre-legislative scrutiny will commence on this Bill, but can the Taoiseach advise us as to when this pre-legislative scrutiny will commence?

I understand that that has been referred to the committee so it should not be very far away now.
