Booklet deal followed the rules

WE at the National Disability Authority (NDA) would like to welcome Donie O’Leary’s acknowledgement of the work of the authority in his letter (‘Why did disability agency sign up for the Italian job?’, July 16).

The NDA has a role in monitoring the national disability strategy, which is a complex suite of measures designed to improve the inclusion of people with disabilities in Irish society.

The strategy includes three major pieces of legislation, statutory disability plans from six government departments and a multi-annual investment programme for priority disability services.
