Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (16 May 2023)

Pauline Tully: I know Dr. Craddock said his organisation monitors the percentage of disabled people employed in the public sector.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Disability Inclusive Social Protection: Discussion (11 May 2023)
