Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The information requested by the Deputy in relation to the number of recipients in receipt of disability allowance (DA) is reported on a point in time basis. The number of persons in receipt of DA at the end of May 2018 was 136,460.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
