CENTre for disability law and pplicy: policy briefings

The Centre for Disability Law and Policy hosts and sponsors a large amount of comparative law and policy research focused on disability. Much of this research is directly relevant to current policy challenges in Ireland. 

The Centre is committed to providing succinct Policy Briefings on a quarterly basis which summarise some of its relevant research and tie it directly to these policy challenges. This is the first in that series. It is intended as a public service to make the public aware of innovative policy solutions adopted elsewhere in the world that may enrich debate in Ireland. We hope you find it useful. Please visit our website for further information on research underway and please log on to our Disability Law Blog (on our website) for up-to-date news of relevant to policy debates in Ireland.

We welcome comments, questions, suggestions and feedback.  Please direct your comments to elaine.a.keanenuigalway.ie
