24. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the absolute and relative number of persons with disabilities employed by his Department in each of the years 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2020; if these persons are in full-time or part-time roles; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4524/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe number and percentage of persons with disabilities employed by my Department in each year from 2015 to 2019 is set out below. Data for 2020 is not yet available; this is compiled every year in advance of a 31st March deadline for reporting as set out by the National Disability Authority. Please note that as the data is collected on an anonymous basis I cannot provide details on whether these staff members are in full or part time roles.
