The Government is committed to providing services and supports for people with disabilities which will empower them to live independent lives, provide greater independence in accessing the services they choose, and enhance their ability to tailor the supports required to meet their needs and plan their lives.
As the Deputy has clarified that this question refers to job initiatives and community schemes in general, I must advise that this is a matter which comes under the remit of the Department of Social Protection.
