Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Homes (30 May 2023)

Anne Rabbitte: With the support of the Minister over the past number of years, I have built on the budget for PA hours. We cannot conflate what home support and PA hours are. They are two separate things. PA is the arms and legs of an individual to ensure that he or she has the right to participate in his or her community. I recently held a meeting where Ms Shelly Gaynor was my speaker on this matter,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (7 Apr 2022)

Ms Jacqui Browne: In a true PA service, the PA works for the disabled person, whom some people call the "leader", although not everyone buys in to that language. The PA works for the individual disabled person. He or she does not represent that person unless that is his or her specific requirement, as stated by the individual with a disability. It is not that there are two voices. I...

There is a difference between PA...
