National Disability Authority

The National Disability Authority advises the Minister on disability policy and practice and acts as a national body to help coordinate and develop that policy. It also undertakes or commissions research, helps develop statistical information for planning services, and advises on standards for programmes and services for persons with disabilities.

It was established on 12 June 2000. The National Disability Authority Act 1999 provided for the Authority to be established on a day appointed by the Minister, and S.I. No. 162 of 2000 appointed that day.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
