Mr. R?n?n Hession:

It is not quite apples and oranges but it is Golden Delicious versus Granny Smith. There is enough comparability for it to be meaningful but there are asterisks. For example, in other jurisdictions the definition of disability can be quite different, for example in terms of age cohort or medical conditionality. There are some people in other jurisdictions, for example in the UK, who would pass the disability test here and be jobseekers in Ireland. What this means is the disability number might be higher but the number of disabled people working would be proportionately higher because the threshold is different.
