The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth are leading the development of a new National Disability Strategy. DCEDIY have requested the National Disability Authority to lead on certain elements of the consultation.
The consultation consists of a number of strands including online thematic focus groups, a national questionnaire and town hall style in person meetings. There will be more information here in the coming weeks. There is also an option to make a video submission – see here for an ISL video on how to make a submission .
Please note that the date in the ISL video states that closing date for submissions is 08 January 2024. This in now incorrect as the date has been extended to 11 February 2024
Disability organisations and in particular Disabled Persons Organisations (DPO), are invited to make a written submission. The national questionnaire will be available for individuals but if you are not part of an organisation and would like to make a written submission you are welcome to do so.
We ask that in your responses you focus on solutions and tangible actions that can be done to improve the lives of persons with disabilities.
Please answer the questions below and submit to nda-events@nda.ie by Sunday, 11 February 2024 .
We ask that you please adhere to the word counts provided. An A4 page with single spaced text font 12 is between 400 and 500 words.
Note: We recognise that some DPOs prefer the term Disabled Persons Representative Organisations (DPRO).
You can also post your submission to

National Disability Authority,

Dublin 4.
What will happen to your submission
The written submissions will be summarised and included in a consultation report that will also include summaries from the national survey, video submissions and focus group discussions. The key themes emerging from all the consultation strands will continually be fed into the strategy development process. The consultation report will be published along with the strategy.
Views shared by DPOs will be distinguished from the views of others during the analysis process and the consultation report will summarise the findings of DPOs separately and highlight any unique views or particular emphasis of DPOs.
The consultation report will not identify any organisations or individuals but will use phrases such as …a DPO suggested…, …a disability organisation said…, …. a submission from an individual highlighted that…
