Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Anne Rabbitte: ...anything other than a health need. That funding was got on the basis that it is not all about health needs. When I got that funding, the first piece of it started at about €2 million. A lot of work went in just to secure it. It was all about the awareness of the training piece because I felt a lot of that was missing. In the first round of that funding it was about giving it to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Tom Clonan: Before I ask my questions, and following a discussion we had in private, I would like to say that we do not know if we will meet again in similar circumstances or for how long we will continue with our work in this Dáil term. Therefore, I want to recognise and put on the record the very strenuous efforts the Minister of State has made and her absolute integrity in everything she does...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Anne Rabbitte: In respect of the DSG 6, we are heading into the new disability strategy. When the last disability strategy was set up maybe there was not a huge awareness about DPOs, the person-centred approach and that lived experience. Maybe the definition of co-design actually recognises DPOs, DPROs and bringing everybody together, including the parents. There are parents of children who would like to...

Seán Canney: I welcome the Minister of State and her officials to the committee. I have been listening to the debate since I came into the committee room. I read the Minister of State’s opening remarks - I was in the Dáil while she delivered them. I will return to the Committee on Budgetary Oversight when I am finished here. Like me, the Minister of State gets queries coming into her...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Michael Moynihan: To follow up on that, further to a letter from the committee about those grants that are under review, the Minister wrote a letter I will share with the committee over the next day or so. There is no need for the Minister of State to look at me so. There are a number of things. She said the section 39 organisations were paused in respect of the two sides coming together on it. It is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Funding with the UNCRPD: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Sep 2024)

Ms Jenny Andersson: Yes. The Minister of State has always been a big fan of alternative respite. In the Department, we take a very broad view of that term, which is nice to be able to do. There is an awful lot that fits under it. When we have given funding over the past couple of years, it has been very much emphasised that this is the area at which we are looking. We could give the...

Anne Rabbitte: It is also important to say that when we look at respite, it is a broad spectrum of approaches. Ms Andersson is right; the Saturday club can equally be as much of a relief to the family, but it is also important for young people to participate and have somewhere to go. If their sibling is going to whatever form of sport they participate in, that child would have his or her place to go to....
