Live Consultations
From time to time there will be opportunities offered by various Government Departments and other organisations to make a submission or offer feedback to ongoing consultations, which are specifically relevant to disabled people and the disability sector. We aim to include these here with the relevant closing dates.
Please email us if you are aware of others that you think disabled people and organisations should be aware of.
The following are the current live consultations that we are aware of:
Have your say: Ireland's new Government Digital Wallet
The Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation has launched a public consultation on Ireland's new Government Digital Wallet, and DFI is encouraging member organisations to take part.
The Digital Wallet aims to give people a secure, easy way to store and access official government credentials on their mobile devices. For this to work for everyone, it must be built with accessibility and inclusion at its core, and that means the voices of disabled people and the organisations that represent them need to be heard.
The Department is inviting feedback from advocacy organisations on the proposed approach, its potential benefits and risks, and any considerations relevant to your area of work.
This is your opportunity to help shape a digital public service that works for disabled people from the outset.
A workshop will also be held in due course to further inform the wallet's development.
How to respond
The consultation is open to organisations via an online form. Please share this with any relevant contacts who may wish to engage.
