To go on a tangent, as reasonable accommodation was mentioned, if someone comes to HR or a line manager, depending on how the organisation filters it up, looking for reasonable accommodation, whether that is assistive technology or something else, in some public organisations there has been a difficulty because it is part of the budget. Private organisations, as we all know, can apply to the Department of Social Protection and there are fantastic grants available. Thankfully, they are being reviewed at the moment. There are good undervalued grants available for a lot of people. From Enterprise Ireland's point of view, does it come out of the general budget? What is the process?
