The report of the evaluation of the Disability Activation (DACT) project, conducted by Indecon International Economic Consultants on behalf of the department, is available on the department’s website: https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Other-Publications-.aspx.
An interdepartmental working group to examine the findings of the report has been established and its first meeting was held in October last. Membership of the working group comprises representatives of departments that have commitments under the Comprehensive Employment Strategy for people with disabilities, launched by the government in October, as well as the National Disability Authority.
The group is progressing its work and is currently making arrangements to meet with representatives from the individual DACT projects.
