Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Rights-Based Approach to Day Services (Resumed): Discussion
5:30 pm
Mr. Diarmuid Devereux:
It is very difficult. The biggest challenge is trying to find accommodation. The Leas-Chathaoirleach can imagine that a community house to accommodate five people needs to be 3,000 sq. ft, needs to have significant external space and, ideally, needs to be a bungalow. Trying to find such a thing in an urban area is very challenging, as is trying to secure the funding for it if we are lucky enough to identify an opportunity.
