Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O’Malley)

Policy on employment of persons with a disability is a matter for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. I understand that FÁS operates a number of schemes to assist people with disabilities in obtaining employment and the person concerned should contact his local FÁS office for further details.
