The table below gives a breakdown of the estimate of expenditure for 2021 sub-head A.29 - Disability Activation Supports:

---|---|
1. Employability Service | 11,400 |
2. Ability | 1,760 |
3. Disability Employment Support Grants | 500 |
Total | 13,660 |
The Ability programme, sub-head A.29.2, is a three year programme which commenced in July 2018. The programme is due to conclude at the end June 2021. The reduction of €3.62 million in the estimate of expenditure reflects the programme concluding at the end of June 2021.
There is no reduction in allocation for the other programmes in sub-head A.29 - Disability Activation Support.
