The number and percentage of persons with disabilities employed by my Department in each year from 2015 to 2019 is set out below. Data for 2020 is not yet available; this is compiled every year in advance of a 31st March deadline for reporting as set out by the National Disability Authority. Please note that as the data is collected on an anonymous basis I cannot provide details on whether these staff members are in full or part time roles.

Year Number of staff with disabilities % of staff with a disability
2015 48 5.7%
2016 44 5.2%
2017 45 5.2%
2018 45 5%
2019 47 5.1%
