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

Ukrainian Crisis: Discussion

Mr. Liam O'Dwyer:

We have been asked to accommodate three families with disabilities. The first port of call is to make certain that the homes they are going into are adequate. We are linked into the Disability Federation of Ireland, which has offered us advice on that. We took somebody on within the office to assist us in project management who has a background in that also. Three families are really all that we have come across at this stage but we reckon there are more around the country. Our experience to date, and the arrangements we have at the moment, are with Disability Federation of Ireland to offer whatever supports are required.
