Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Patrick O'Sullivan:
I fully recognise that. The challenge is that because we are prioritising people who have the greatest need, then the majority who are arguably a step down tend to be pushed down. The review will address that particular issue. In that context, I believe significant funding going forward will be necessary. That will, however, be a budgetary matter for the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and the Government in due course.
