Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Employment and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Pat Murphy:
As I mentioned, the fact there has to be a contract period of six months or greater to access the scheme should change. It is easier for people to get a leg in the door if it is for a shorter period and the employer is not committing to something for longer than they are willing to. Quite often, once a person gets in and proves themselves, it expands and extends. That is one issue.
