Budget statement by the NDSA

The National Disability Services Association (NDSA) has welcomed the €600 million boost in funding for disability services announced in Budget 2026, noting the commitment to more “permanent and predictable” support.

They worry that structural deficits in services will remain and that government targets in the Action Plan for Disability may fall short.
