Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Participation of People with Disabilities in Political, Cultural, Community and Public Life: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Joe McGrath:
On the issue of employment and getting people to work, it is important that the committee looks at ways of getting employers to give people work experience that will, hopefully, lead to a meaningful job after work experience. We should not go back to workshops or place like that because they have no value and do not get people ready for the outside world.
