Disability Act 2005
This Act was enacted on September 1st, 2005 and includes a number of positive action measures designed to advance and underpin participation by people with disabilities in everyday life. In particular, Part 3 of the Act contains a number of obligations specifically related to public bodies, including National University of Ireland Maynooth that are in effect since 31st December, 2005.
