Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Accessing Justice: Discussion (23 Jun 2022)

Holly Cairns: I thank everyone for being with us today. It has been one of the most revealing and frankly unnerving sessions we have had. The failure of the justice and penal system to recognise and respond to people with disabilities is quite shocking. In some cases it seems to amount to people being punished because they have an unidentified or unsupported disability or even an identified one. The...

That would be assuming incapacity rather than...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Accessing Justice: Discussion (23 Jun 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Accessing Justice: Discussion (23 Jun 2022)

Holly Cairns: I hear it from people coming in to my office, even people I know. It absolutely does happen. The committee has heard that it is a reality that people are being treated differently because they have a disability. It is not correct to say there was loads of time and engagement; even the Department was upfront and honest with the committee about the fact that they had to rush through the...
