There was no specific allocation by my Department in 2003 or 2004 to directly fund services for persons with disabilities. In terms of enabling access to my Department for persons with disabilities, the refurbishment of the reception to the Department's offices in Leeson Lane incorporated a number of items to facilitate and enhance access for persons with disabilities. The Department's offices in Adelaide Road have also been refurbished and access for persons with disabilities enhanced as part of that project. While it is not possible to accurately separate the cost of these items from the overall cost of the contract, it is estimated that the cost was in the region of €61,500 plus VAT.
