“I have listened to these concerns and I am confirming today that the Green Paper proposals will not be implemented.” - Minister Heather Humphreys announces that the Green Paper on Disability Reform will not be implemented.

I've asked Tánaiste several PQs around how many times Israeli ambassador had been summoned given the war crimes being committed by her govt in Gaza.
