Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at Local Level: Discussion

Mr. Greg Swift:

To give an example, last year we assisted an individual who declared dyslexia with an application. Subsequently that person got a grant. This is an example of how it may be self-declared. The person told us they had a problem and we then went about assisting them to complete the form and go through the process of applying for the grant.
