Joint Committee on Disability Matters
Aligning Disability Services with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The report focuses on aligning services in Ireland with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This is an optional protocol, which the Committee is urgently calling on the Irish Government to ratify.
The Committee states that it agrees with LightAware that employers and service providers should make reasonable adjustments to allow access to employment and essential services and for the need for ‘lifeline routes free from LEDs’.
“The Committee heard the lived experience of the disabling effects of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting on individuals with light sensitivity and its significant impact on health as well as access to the community.”
