Mr. Eddie Hennessy:

The Department using the term equality as a solution without even looking at the distinctive challenges disabled entrepreneurs have to go through is deeply flawed. As Professor Cooney has said, we have a model. Women's entrepreneurship is a success. It does not have to be built from the ground up. The simple question I am asking of the Department for the past five years is why the wage subsidy scheme is not available to disabled entrepreneurs? It is as simple as that. It will not answer me. Therefore, we need committee members to chase this up.
