Disability activist Niamh Herbert from Sallins recently told Kfm how uncertainty around the Government’s Green Paper on Disability Reform caused a lot of stress for individuals with a disability.
The government has decided to crap its Green Paper on disability reform following extensive criticism from advocacy groups.
Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys has acknowledged "significant concerns" regarding the proposed reforms outlined in the document.
