Mr. Brian O'Donnell:

To follow up on the last speaker and in regard to what was said by Deputy Durkan, it is worth repeating the life story of Martin Dooher, the man who gave his permission for us to speak of his life story. He epitomises all that we have talked about here through the course of his life. As a young child, he lived in a congregated setting and through his life went through all the transitions and now at 65 years of age has his own tenancy and is living in a community. He epitomises much of what we are talking about in terms of ratification of the UNCRPD because he is living a very fulfilled life and is very actively involved in his community. It is worth repeating his story because he is an inspiration for others to follow and is an exemplar of a success story in his lived experience.
