The disability awareness training support scheme is the most under-used and misunderstood grant. Employers are often unaware of the grants and supports available from the Department of Social Protection. The scheme gives grant assistance of up to 90% of the cost of a disability awareness training programme. I welcome that the Minister will be running an awareness campaign. The lack of communication and information is critical. I also ask the Minister if she will send me the numbers for County Carlow.
