Disability Bill - Drive against flawed bill is welcome

The Government preparing to ram its contentious Disability Bill through the Dáil before the summer recess.

Hopes of scuppering the legislative package are now focused on convincing the opposition parties to tear up and rewrite aspects of this skewed law if they should succeed in forming a coalition administration after the next general election.

With this objective in mind, a fresh political drive gets under way tonight in Limerick where campaigners are to meet in a last-ditch effort to highlight the flawed nature of the legislative package currently being pushed through the Oireachtas by Fianna Fáil and the PDs.
