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:

I would like to see the Dáil include us from the very beginning. If the legislators do not do that and they consult other groups, the people with intellectual disabilities will be left outside. Those of us who are good enough to speak up will find a way to understand the law but those of us who need extra supports will be left behind. The Government will be dealing with three or four different groups and it will not know which one fits in where.
