Mr. Padraic Jones:

While I have a copy of the Garda Síochána interview model with me, I cannot say off the top of my head whether disability advocates were involved in it. Certainly, our interviews of victims have been heavily influenced by the disability representative bodies. I mentioned Garda diversity officers with regard to some of our training. They are gardaí who have this portfolio in addition to their day-to-day work and they are identified on the Garda website. They are in every division in the country and they are trained to a standard so they can assist people with disabilities or from diverse or minority groups to access policing services on the same level as any other able-bodied person. In terms of their training, we have disability activists coming to impart their knowledge to them.
