Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Inadequate Personal Assistance Supports: Discussion

Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

We would not disagree at all. Every year, we seek to increase those hours and the associated funding. In recent years notwithstanding other challenges in the employment market, we have been able to deliver the full hours with the funding we have had available. We continue annually to seek additional funding under the Estimates process. We are in complete agreement.
