163. To ask the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality given that no data is currently gathered on disabled entrepreneurs, the body that holds responsibility for ensuring accountability and measurable progress in this area; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [60297/25]

I thank the Deputy for this question. Government is fully committed to supporting disabled entrepreneurs to advance in their chosen endeavours. The recently launched National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025-2030 contains a commitment related to entrepreneurship, promoting inclusion and accessibility through the Local Enterprise Offices.

Responsibility for this action, and for policy related to entrepreneurship more broadly, lies with my colleague, the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment.
