Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Annual Budget Disability Proofing: Disability Federation of Ireland
Ms Fiona O'Donovan:
I believe that is from a report of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, IHREC, from 2018. I would be happy to verify that and send it on. Significant research was carried out by IHREC at that time about the types of disabilities and where they were showing up. Contrary to what many might think, it is not only mental illness that these homeless people are suffering from. They could be suffering from physical, sensory, intellectual and all types of disability. I would be happy to furnish that to the committee.
