Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Joint Committee on Education and Skills and Joint Committee on Health
Supports for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Ms Simonetta Ryan:

I note from the comments of the Chair that people feel lucky. It has been very helpful for us to read the testimonies of the people who have appeared before the committee. The feeling is that there should be access and information for those people now and in the future so that they are not relying on luck. That is the direction in which we are going. I do not believe we can answer Senator Higgins today on her point about employment and the reviews of reasonable accommodation, so we will revert to her in writing.
