Included in the table below are the absolute and relative numbers of those who have disclosed a disability in the Department of Social Protection from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2020. The Department cannot report on the number of these individuals who are in part-time or full-time work as the censuses conducted yearly to ascertain these figures are anonymous.
