Mr. Donal Leahy:

I do not really have a view on the wage subsidy scheme. We have not seen enough about it. The Senator asked me to comment on the pilot programme for 2024. There are a number of things happening, but the one that is most relevant is work we are doing on reasonable accommodation. We are part of a working group, which includes us and other stakeholders across the public service. We are happy that we are complying with the rules with respect to reasonable accommodation. We are not breaking the law, but the idea behind this pilot programme is to go beyond that and take an authentic approach and be a bit more proactive.
