Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

There are community response forums in place in each of the local authority areas, which bring together all of the community and voluntary organisations and public bodies. They are a vehicle for ensuring that whatever supports are needed, at a local level in respective centres in the area, are provided. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown local authority also has NGO partnerships in respect of Ballyogan. That is also a feature in Millstreet where a number of NGO organisations, community and voluntary organisations or State providers come on site to meet specific needs and provide particular supports. I am well aware that many private sector organisations have made themselves known to centres where Ukrainians are located and accommodated and have offered services of a variety of types. All of that goodwill is wonderful to see and is availed of.
