Concern at use of disability funding

DISABILITY advocacy groups have expressed concern about how much of the money officially being allocated to the sector is actually being spent on disability.

Inclusion Ireland has said many of its members are questioning where the upwards of €200 million in additional funds allocated to disability since 2006 has been spent.

Requests have been made by Dáil deputies to the HSE and the Department of Finance and no responses have been received after six months.
