lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome the entry into force of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on 2 December 2008. The European Community is a co-signatory of this Convention. It provides protection for 50 million EU citizens with disabilities, such as amputees. However, Ireland is one of the Member States in the European Union where a person who loses a limb has to fund, from his or her own resources or by insurance, the purchase of a prosthetic replacement. Despite the entry into force of the Convention, the Irish Government made no provision in the recent budget for aiding amputees in funding prosthetic replacements. I condemn this careless disregard for people with such a serious disability, and I call on the Commission to draw up guidelines so that Member States are obliged to provide adequate funding for such persons with disabilities."@en1
