Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Accessing Justice: Discussion
Mr. Jerry Carroll:
I wish to make one point. There is great goodwill around the table. I am not an expert in the areas we are discussing, but one thing I noticed is the lack of co-ordination on bringing things together. The Bradley report from way back included information about everything operating in silos. Having listened to quite a number of bodies, all doing great work, such as gardaí, prison officers and so on, the one thing that is lacking seems to be some drawing together of the strands that should inform us all as we are going along. Just awareness training and getting people on side would be the way to do it. That is the point I would like to emphasise, and we probably will emphasise it in anything we send back to the committee. We appreciate very much the opportunity this morning as well.
