Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Supporting People with Disabilities to Live in Communities: Discussion

Dr. Niamh Lally:

I thank the Deputy for her pertinent questions. On the last question about how challenging this process is, Genio has been involved with all ten accelerated sites, hand in glove with the HSE and especially with the staff tasked with implementing de-congregation. What we see from the findings is that it is very challenging. The Deputy is correct that these congregated settings are in violation of many human rights including the UNCRPD.
