Mr. Daithí Ó Caigne:

Disability is very complex. Many organisations may well have achieved their disability targets. There is a reluctance on people to declare that they are disabled and there are complications about running bespoke competitions for people with disabilities. Our sense is that we should encourage people with disabilities to apply for all competitions, recognising that we have an obligation to take reasonable measures to accommodate them in terms of, first, the application process and, second, in Departments if they are successful.
