National Conference Highlights Challenges for People with Disabilities
People with disabilities are finding it harder than ever before to get jobs, according to Galway-based disability advocate Maggie Woods.
Speaking at the national conference of Local Development Companies in Ballina, Woods noted that out of 90 people on the Galway City Partnership 'WorkAbility' Programme, only 15 have jobs.
Woods is urging prospective employers to give people with disabilities a chance.
Minister for Social Protection, Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary, expressed no surprise at the situation and had a message for employers.
