Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Employment Strategy and Impact on Disabled Persons in the Workplace: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Jeanne McDonagh:

Much of it is paper-based and that does not make sense. Those who are self-employed have to fill in the hours worked weekly. It is time-consuming, wasteful and inflexible. It does not allow entrepreneurial spirit to thrive and prosper. The Deputy can correct me if I am wrong but, as far as I am aware, the self-employed do not have access to supports such as screen readers and so on.
