Committee on Disability Matters

Advancing in Work for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Guillaume Jacquinot:

That is definitely something I would check with the Disability Federation of Ireland, Inclusion Ireland and people who could give more guidance. From a trade union perspective, I could not speak on their behalf as to how they address issues when they arise.

There were a couple of questions about looking for other good practices across Europe and internationally. One thing I wanted to recommend is the Zero Project conference. It is a huge conference that takes place in Vienna every year. Lately, it has been looking at independent living, education and employment. It is a great database if people are looking for good practices, including partnership with the State. I would recommend having a look at that.
