Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

How much of the NDA budget is channelled to the area of employment? This is the single biggest challenge people with disabilities have in this country. I reiterate that we are the worst in Europe - we are the laggards in Europe - when it comes to employing people with disabilities and giving them opportunities. How much of the NDA budget is channelled into writing or creating, or whatever it is that it does, policy in this area?
