I thank the Minister of State for his contribution. It is important that the Government create jobs for individuals with a disability. I am aware that its intention is to increase the proportion of people with a disability in the workforce to 6% by 2024, but that is far too long down the road. We have been working very closely with the Minister of State for the past few years.

I thank the Government for funding towards the respite unit in Dundalk for adults with disabilities which was badly needed. This meeting showed that everyone has an interest in people with disabilities. I wish the Minister of State the best for the future.
