Committee on Disability Matters

Participation in Community Life for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Kevin O'Brien:

Very high. Ourselves and the IRFU put the sensory room in. We paid for the sensory room to go in down there in Creggs. That was good.

As for whether there will ever be a one-size-fits-all approach, the answer is "No". We have to be patient because it is no good going in head first thinking that this is the solution. At Variety, we like to come up with solutions and work with scientific evidence behind. If you are going to corporate partners or you are going to the Government or whatever, it is nice to go with science. If they are going to put their name to it, you must remember that ultimately it is taxpayers' money that is involved.
