Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

European Year of Skills 2023: Discussion

11:00 am

Ms Lucianne Bird:

I will make one comment. Focusing on article 20 on public procurement, that social clause which would see inclusion of people with disabilities and who are distant from the labour market included in procurement would be a great way of working with employers and ensuring that people with disabilities would be included in opportunities moving forward. That is an area on which I know my colleagues have advocated for very strongly with Government Departments. They can speak more clearly on that topic than I can but it is a very important area for us to focus on.
