Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Section 39 Organisations: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. David Joyce:

I thank the members of the committee for their engagement and discussion this morning. I agree with Senator Dolan that it is indeed ironic we are discussing starvation of funding for crucial organisations in the lives of people who have disabilities in the same week Ireland is talking about finally ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
