Holly Cairns: Congregated settings are a clear example of a State failure to enable individuals to choose to live independently and be part of a community, as required under Article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, UNCRPD. This report highlights that the people concerned have no option but to live in nursing homes due to the lack of support from the State....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Younger People in Nursing Homes: Discussion (24 Jun 2021)

That issue needs to be rectified. This congregated settings issue arises repeatedly in the work of this committee. We are aware of the extent of this massive issue, but what is being proposed as a way to start addressing it is...
