Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Increasing Employment Participation for Persons with Disabilities: Disabled Persons' Organisations Network

5:30 pm

Mr. John Sherwin:

I will round that point off with information on our own experience in the Irish Deaf Society. We set up home offices for our staff so they could work on work-related computers and use equipment both at home and in the office seamlessly. That arrangement has continued since the pandemic has finished, and very successfully so, I might add. Our staff are able to take on their personal goals. They are able to report on achieving those goals. We have high expectations of our staff, and disabled people and deaf people can thrive under those circumstances.
