NDA submission on Green Paper on Welfare Reform in Ireland (April 2024)

The NDA advises that the Department of Social Protection’s (DSP) Green Paper has provided an opportunity to consider the most effective way of reviewing and reforming disability related payments in Ireland into a system of payments that are reflective of the needs and abilities of disabled people. In principle, the NDA welcomes the move to reform disability related social welfare payments with the aim of improving outcomes for persons with disabilities and of improving meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities who have capacity to work.
