My Department has responsibility for a diverse range of areas including communications, energy, environment, natural resources, postal and broadcasting sectors. The Department is central to the delivery of policies and programmes  which support national economic development and improve services and supports to all citizens in the State, including persons with disabilities.  Projects funded by the Department such as the roll-out of broadband facilities to all communities, the Getting Citizens Online Programme and the Warmth and Well-being scheme can provide tangible supports for those with disabilities. In addition the services provided by bodies under the aegis of the Department also have the capacity to support people with disabilities.
