I appreciate that, but when representatives of the Disability Federation of Ireland attended a committee meeting a couple of weeks ago, they said that people with disabilities were having difficulty accessing these schemes. That is why I raised the issue. I still think we have to look at equality. We cannot focus in the first place on our obligations to jobseekers. Anyone who wants to work should be allowed to work and to access these schemes regardless of his or her ability or disability.
