Vol. 571 No. 1
218 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Taoiseach the total amount of funding allocated by his Department for the provision of payments, facilities or services for those with physical or intellectual disabilities in 2003, giving the heading or sub-heading in the estimates under which the allocation has been made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19581/03]
There is no specific budgetary provision allocated for funding for the provision of payments, facilities or services for those with physical or intellectual disabilities in 2003. However, my office has taken steps to facilitate staff with disabilities, including installation of a ramp, wheelchair lift in front hall, disabled toilets and purchase of special "evac chairs" to assist in the evacuation of the building in emergencies. Special IT equipment has also been purchased.
