Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

1:30 pm

Ms Kathleen O'Meara:

I thank Deputy Durkan. On the decongregation issue, I hear exactly what the Deputy is saying. It is not new. As a major provider and an organisation working on decongregation every day of the week, we hear what the Deputy is saying. I reiterate what has already been said. What is success? Success is for the person. It is where the person is happy, fully expressed in their life and fully part of the community. It cannot be done quickly and it should not be done quickly. It has to be done with full consultation with everybody involved.
