Committee on Disability Matters
Participation in Community Life for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Jimmy D'Arcy:
The community identifies a need when there is a need within a community. GAA clubs are very adaptable and we find that they respond to that need.
We try to shine a spotlight where best practice is working and show other clubs that they can do this, too. That takes away the fear. That can be followed with education and training, in partnership with expert organisations. That is what we try to do through our community and health department.
