Ms Tara Molloy:

Absolutely. The goals must be achievable. It depends on the level of disability and what people want. It is about having realistic goals. There is no point in having something tokenistic that is never going to be achieved. We do consult with parents, but this is about the person. The majority of our service users are over 18 and if we are going to follow the ADM process and other rights processes then we must look at their choices. The choices are realistic. Everybody in St. Michael's House has a key worker. They work with that person until those goals are either achieved, but if they realise they cannot be achieved, there is a change in direction or, as Senator O'Loughlin says, the pathway.
