Disability Act 2005.

The Taoiseach read the definition of disability in the legislation, with which I am familiar, but my question sought more specific information. Will the Taoiseach supply figures on the number of people in his Department who are, for example, blind or wheelchair users? A sensory disability is a wide-ranging definition. Someone who requires spectacles could be regarded as having a sensory disability. This definition is as wide as it is long and I would like the Taoiseach to be more specific so we can see the level of interaction with people with disabilities.
