The President, Mrs Robinson, is to address the inaugural meeting of the Council for the Status of People with Disabilities at Dublin Castle in June.
An ad hoc group is currently devising a structure, creating an electorate and drafting a constitution for an interim council. The interim council will then set up a permanent council to represent all people with disabilities in Ireland.
People with disabilities who wish to contact the group or take part in setting it up can contact the Council for the Status of People with Disabilities (Ad hoc Establishment Group) at 21 Hill Street, Dublin 1. Tel: 01-8745231/1 850- 7452 13.
