A consultation draft of Ireland’s initial State report under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has been published, with the Government calling for public submissions before it is finalised and submitted to the UN. 

It is Ireland’s first report under the Convention, which Ireland signed in 2007 but only ratified in March 2018.
