Committee on Disability Matters

Living Independently in the Community for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Emer Begley:

Maybe Ms Cassen can speak to this. I do not think we have ever had a workable model in Ireland. There was a very small pilot project that ran on for quite a long time. There were issues with the review. The review was massively delayed. It is happening now, but there are very small numbers participating in it. We question the value of the outcomes. We will wait to see from that. It seems that everything is stalled until we have evidence in Ireland on effectiveness. It needs real will and leadership around it.
