Departmental Staff. (24 Sep 2008)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: In the context of staff vacancies, can the Taoiseach advise what is the employment policy regarding people with disabilities within the Department of the Taoiseach?

Departmental Staff. (24 Sep 2008)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Taoiseach's reply invites a further question. He indicated that members of staff in the Taoiseach's Department voluntarily disclosed a disability of one sort or another. My understanding — the Taoiseach may correct me if I am wrong — is there is a requirement on Departments across the board to meet the 3% level in terms of recruiting people with disabilities. If the disclosures...

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Government's website page on better regulation states that the State liberalised telecommunications and describes this as a wise move that has placed the communications market on a par with many OECD countries.
