In September 2022 Minister Rabbitte launched our new guidelines - 'Participation Matters: Guidelines on implementing the obligation to meaningfully engage with disabled people in public decision making'.
The guidelines were informed by extensive consultation with Disabled Persons Organisations and other stakeholders
The guidelines are a practical resource to support officials to take a universal design approach to all public consultation and participation processes
The guidelines are available in multiple formats including Easy-to-Read and Irish Sign Language

Ireland ratified the UNCRPD in 2018. It is an international human rights treaty, It underpins the work of the National Disability Authority.
Our report on the operation of the Irish Sign Language Act 2017 was presented to the Minister in July 2021 and was published in January 2023.
We are working on a cost benefit analysis of universally designed housing, developing guidance on collaborative research with disabled people and looking at the impact of Covid-19 on the employment of people with disabilities.
Throughout this website the terms “persons with disabilities” and “disabled people” are used interchangeably. The term ‘disabled people’ is recognised by many within the disability rights movement in Ireland to align with the social and human rights model of disability, as it is considered to acknowledge the fact that people with an impairment are disabled by barriers in the environment and society. However, we also recognise that others prefer the term “persons with disabilities” because of the inherent understanding in the term that they are first and foremost human beings entitled to human rights. This reflects the language used in the UNCRPD. Finally, we recognise that some people do not identify as being disabled.
