Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Employment and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

Mr. Anthony Redmond:

Hi. I am one of the students on the employment plus programme.

I will speak about what is good about family helping with trying to get work and the problems family can cause. It is good to have a family that helps out and deals with situations. Families show the benefits of a work environment and life-changing situations. From childhood onwards family members teach the skills needed in life, the benefits and other steps people with disabilities can take. Sometimes there are little issues such as family illnesses or health problems that stop people from trying to get work because they are worried about their parents. I like to return the help I got from my parents by helping them out as much as I can. Doing this while working causes a lot of pressure. I am working through it the best I can.
