Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Enabling Community Inclusion for People with Disabilities (Resumed): Disability Equality Specialist Support Agency

5:30 pm

Ms Alice Griffin:

May I add to that? In 2001, we were initially part of the community development programme. That comprised community development projects, CDPs, and family resource centres, FRCs. At some point, that programme was finished and the FRCs became part of the FRC programme under the Family Support Agency. We went with them there. We were core funded under the programme and also core funded under the local and community development programme, which in turn became the local development and social inclusion programme, with partnership companies.
