Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Accessing Justice: Discussion

Mr. John Farrelly:

Can I clarify something? The Deputy referred to the codes not the Act. I clarified to the Deputy previously that the Act was something for the Department. I am not standing over the Department. I am speaking about the codes. The Deputy is giving the impression we have excluded people with disabilities which we have not. We have put all efforts in place to do that. I am giving our view. We are not the Department, we are the Mental Health Commission. The director had the codes so I am giving the alternative view from our perspective. I am happy to write to the committee with the facts - the number of people with disabilities and organisations we engage with.
