Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Planning for Inclusive Communities: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Bernard O'Regan:
We have spoken at this and other committees about we are in a situation where there are reforms that are needed across the sector in how we are organised. We have a rich voluntary sector in terms of service provision. We want to nurture and build on that but we also need a sustainable structure so that we are not lurching from financial crisis to financial crisis, whether for a large organisation or a multitude of organisations, and that has to be part of our reform programme as well.
