Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2009
112 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Taoiseach the extent to which his Department is meeting the agreed national target figures for employment of persons with a disability; and when in each case this target will be met or surpassed. [16127/09]
View answerMy Department exceeds the 3% employment requirement of people with disabilities with 5.9% of the current employees having disclosed disability. Part 5 of the Disability Act 2005 gave legal status to this 3% employment requirement which, formerly, had been a target.
