Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Constitutional Protection of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: Amnesty International Ireland

Deputy Finian McGrath:My next question is about the resource issue. There is fear out there. I agree with everything in Mr. O'Gorman's submission but the big question I must ask as a legislators is about the resource issue. Granting ESC rights requires high levels of resources. Our country is broke and does not have the resources, which I come across every day in that I must look for a service for a person with a disability but the services have been reduced. One must face that reality. Is this not a huge cost issue?
