Fine Gael pledges to create Minister for Disability

FINE GAEL committed themselves yesterday to creating a position of Minister for Disability if they enter Government.

Enda Kenny’s party were responding to concerns that political parties have failed to include in election manifestos specific plans for the 400,000 people with disabilities in Ireland.

Reviewing policies at a launch yesterday, the Disability Federation of Ireland (DFI) demanded parties reveal their pledges.
