I agree with Dr. Hartney but I also think we need somebody to champion this because if everyone is responsible sometimes nobody is responsible. We need somebody to really put it all together at the same time. Dr. Hartney also mentioned in her correspondence to the committee that an EU comparison shows that Ireland has the fourth lowest employment rates for people with disabilities in the region. Will Dr. Hartney send the committee the research information that underpins that please at some stage? Dr. Hartney also talks about, and this is really interesting, research in the area of adequate career guidance and transition between education and training, or employment. Will she forward that to the committee also? I would be quite interested in seeing that if it is possible.
