The Wage Subsidy Scheme (WSS) is an employment support to private sector employers, the objective of which is to encourage employers to employ people with disabilities and thereby increase the numbers of people with disabilities participating in the open labour market.
The number of people benefitting from the Wage Subsidy Scheme who commenced in each month in years 2022, 2023 and January 2024 by county is provided in tabular form.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
