Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Aligning Disability Services with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

Mr. Damien O'Reilly:

Thank you. I could not agree more with what Senator McGreehan said. I just got so angry when I was talking about funding. The funding may be budgeted for and provided, but much of it is going through organisations from which the end user does not benefit. Plus, it is being put through organisations in a system that is still under the medical model. It would be great if the first action was taken and the committee consulted the HSE. It would be absolutely brilliant.
