Employment and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
It should not even be an issue for discussion, to be honest. Obviously, there is the issue of access to transport. I represent a rural constituency and, as we know, to represent people in politics, I have to get places. I do not drive so I know as well as anybody the importance of good quality public transport. While a lot of progress has been made, we have a long way to go in that regard.
On a question to the NDA, does Dr. Hartney feel the authority has done enough to help CREATE smooth access to employment, as the State agency, funded by the taxpayer, that is responsible for disability policy?
