A load of rubbish from Kathleen Lynch - We were told ,seems many years ago, the UN Convention would be signed off in this Dail session etc etc.  The only thing halting Ireland ratifying was Mental Capacity Bill, so what is all this from Minister of State Lynch - nothing more than excuses.? By the time Ireland ratifies it probably will be UN Convention on Old People with Disabilities!!!!!!!!

Dermot,    Please see reply from Minister Kathleen Lynch's office regarding the issue   I raised in the Order of Business in the Dáil yesterday.    Regards,  MMN  Michael McNamara, T.D.  Dáil Éireann,  Leinster House,  Kildare Street,  Dublin 2     tel (01) 6184879    Q   Deputy Michael McNamara: I have questions regarding two items of   legislation. The programme for Government contains a commitment to ratify   the convention on persons with a disability, for which a wide range of   legislative changes are required. When will a Bill be brought forward to   make the changes required in order that Ireland can proceed with ratifying   the convention on the rights of persons with a disability.      The Tánaiste: It is intended that the gender recognition Bill will be   introduced this year. With regard to ratification of the agreements and   the convention on disability, I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy   Kathleen Lynch, to reply directly to the Deputy.       ----- Forwarded by Edel Carroll/Oireachtas on 17/01/2013 11:12 -----    From:   Adrian_McLaughlin@health.gov.ie  To:     michael.mcnamara@oir.ie  Cc:     David.King@taoiseach.gov.ie, dpbrennan@justice.ie,   Leslie.Hamilton@taoiseach.gov.ie  Date:   17/01/2013 10:51  Subject:        Yesterday's Order of Business        Dear Deputy McNamara,     In yesterday's Order of Business you raised with An Tanaiste the Programme   for Government containing a commitment to ratify the convention on persons   with   a disability.On behalf of Minister Lynch I would like to clarify the   following. It is the Government's intention to ratify the UN Convention on   the Rights of Persons   with Disabilities as quickly as possible, taking into account the need to   ensure that all necessary legislative and administrative requirements   under the   Convention are being met. As you may be aware, Ireland does not become   party to treaties until it is first in a position to comply with the   obligations imposed   by the treaty in question, including by amending domestic law as     necessary. The ongoing implementation of our National Disability Strategy   in many respects   comprehends many of the provisions of the Convention. In addition, the   Inter-Departmental Committee on the Convention monitors the remaining   legislative   and administrative actions required to enable ratification. At the   Committee's request, the National Disability Authority, the lead statutory   agency for the   sector,is in the process of assisting it to assess the remaining   requirements for ratification so as to ensure conclusively that all such   issues will be addressed.   One of the key requirements in this regard is the enactment of capacity   legislation. The Programme for Government includes a commitment to   introduce a   Mental Capacity Bill that is in line with the UN Convention on the Rights   of Persons with Disabilities. Drafting of the bill is being finalised with   a view to publication   early in this Dail Session. The enactment of new legislation is one of the   core elements of the remaining work to be completed to enable ratification   by the State of   the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.       regards,     Adrian McLaughlin  Private Secretary to the  Minister for Disability, Equality, Mental Health & Older People  Department of Health  Hawkins House  Dublin 2      ********************************************************  Email Disclaimer & Legal Notice: http://www.dohc.ie/mail_disclaimer/  ********************************************************    Supporting The Gathering Ireland 2013 - www.thegatheringireland.com          Oireachtas email policy and disclaimer.  http://www.oireachtas.ie/parliament/about/oireachtasemailpolicyanddisclaimer/  Beartas ríomhphoist an Oireachtais agus séanadh.  http://www.oireachtas.ie/parliament/ga/eolas/beartasriomhphoistanoireachtaisagusseanadh/
