Committee on Disability Matters
Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Ciarán Finlay:
We are not aware of that. There is a backlog of complaints to the committee. It meets twice per year in Geneva. On average it deals with two to three complaints each time it meets, so that is five to six per year. In the period 2012 to 2023, the committee provided judgments or decisions on only 42 cases on their merits. Over 11 years there were only 42 cases. We are aware there is quite a big backlog and there are funding constraints on the committee as well.
