Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 June 2026
73. Deputy William Aird asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment whether a formal cross-departmental implementation structure exists to ensure delivery of employment activation measures for persons with disabilities; the timelines for any forthcoming strategy updates or action plans; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44602/26]
View answerThe cross-departmental implementation structures for the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025-2030 are embedded in the strategy itself. The Delivery and Monitoring Committee, chaired by An Taoiseach, oversees the development and delivery of the strategy commitments and actions. My Department co-leads the Employment Pillar of the Strategy, alongside the Department of Social Protection. Other participating Departments are the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, in respect of the employment of disabled people in the public sector, and the Department of Children, Disability and Equality.
Employment activation measures for disabled people are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Social Protection.
