Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Accessing Justice: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Fergal Black:

A real tragedy is that we regularly get telephone calls from family members who have had to take out barring orders against their loved ones, and their loved one then ends up in custody. That person is still their child and they are naturally worried about them. As the director general said, our staff do their best with them but sometimes they are not in the right environment.
