Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Regulation of Residential Services for Adults and Children with Disabilities: Discussion
3:40 pm
Mr. Brian O'Donnell:
Yes. I will come back to Deputy Durkan about the numbers. Generally speaking from anecdotal evidence, there is a challenge around the numbers of people volunteering. A lot of it concerns the need for Garda vetting, but not exclusively. I do not want to offer Garda vetting as some sort of excuse. It is a good thing and I was surprised to hear it is an issue in some organisations. If it is okay for the committee, I will come back with the numbers in due course, and also on the other question which was the base of knowledge they are bringing.
