Dr. Mary Murphy:

A data question came up about the access of people with disabilities to active labour market measures. I put some data in about women's access to active labour market measures. I had to do a ridiculous amount of digging to get those data. Each service provider has those data readily available, sorted by age, disability, gender and so on. If one wanted, for equality's sake, to disaggregate the data, why does the State not just require those using State funding to give the data back in that way? If we do not know what we are doing or who is using the services, it is difficult. If the committee is making recommendations, while I know academics say to do this and to adopt that, it would make a huge difference to our ability to equality proof the delivery of services and the design of what we are doing.
