Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (Resumed) (18 May 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (Resumed) (18 May 2023)

Pauline Tully: That is why I asked whether the Department has set a target of a percentage to start with.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (Resumed) (18 May 2023)

Pauline Tully: The UK has an access programme and I think that is part of it. It has something good. There is no point in reinventing the wheel, so we should look at other jurisdictions and see what they are using and what is working and replicating it here.

All of our guests have given us an indication of how their respective Departments rate in relation to the 3% employment target, which is increasing to 6% but is there any analysis of career progression within Departments? Do a lot of disabled people come into Departments at a base level, which would be normal for most entrants, but then stay there? The NDA...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (Resumed) (18 May 2023)
