26 Ms Keogh asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the measures, if any, that are being taken to facilitate people with disabilities on employment training schemes. [7661/96]
It is Government policy to maximise accessibility for people with disabilities to its various services and to the buildings where such services are provided. FÁS is no exception in this regard. When selecting new buildings, for example, a fundamental criterion is that it be accessible to people with disabilities and, furthermore, that its internal fixtures and fittings be as suitable as possible. Likewise, in the case of existing buildings, every reasonable effort is made to eliminate any access difficulties which may exist for disabled persons.
