Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

General Scheme of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Joe McGrath:

The UNCRPD makes sure we are included in law. If the Government does not implement that and engage with our organisation, it will find itself in a muddle of intrigue trying to put the legislation through the Dáil, if the legislation is not inclusive or acted upon with dignity for everyone that has a disability, intellectual or not. We all learn in different ways. If we all went to the same school and learned the same way, some of us would be geniuses by now.
