Committee on Disability Matters

Living Independently in the Community for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Rachel Cassen:

For people with disabilities, who are already extremely disadvantaged in the workplace, the supports that exist are becoming very dated. We need to urgently address that. As everybody in this room knows, in the past ten years, Ireland has fallen off a cliff in terms of employment outcomes for people with disabilities. Doing more of what we have always done is no longer good enough.
