Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Geraldine Hurley:
No, we do not. The Deputy is right; we do not have a breakdown of types of disability across the scheme for employment services. It is really when people come into us. Either they are on disability allowance or they may be jobseekers. It is at that stage that the services we provide are tailored to them and it is what they self-declare at that time. The Deputy is right to say we do not have a breakdown of types of disabilities that we would have at that point, however.
