The programme for Government pledges the implementation of the comprehensive employment strategy for people with disabilities. It also talks about supporting people with disabilities and removing barriers which impact on their access to services, education and work and yet the reality on the ground is that the Government is putting in place barriers in respect of these people. I met with the WALK PEER group this morning, as did a number of Deputies. The group outlined graphically the difficulties it is facing and the pending halt to the excellent work it is doing.

Has the Deputy a question, please?

I think it has funding until Christmas of €150,000. When will the Government implement the comprehensive employment strategy for people with disabilities?

The previous Government published the first ever national strategy for people with disabilities in terms of access to employment. That strategy is now being implemented. There is work to be done but the policies are there and Government is implementing them. In regard to the particular case that the Deputy has raised, I know that both the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, and the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, are actively engaging with the people who are involved in the WALK PEER group to seek a solution to the issue.
