This paper will look at the current levels of disabled people working in Ireland, examine what supports currently exist for disabled people in the workplace, consider the possible reasonable accommodations that employees could expect to make, and the grants available to them. The paper will also examine other societal aspects that might prevent people from entering the workforce in the same way non-disabled people can. Lastly, this paper will explore the lessons learned from Covid-19 and examine whether the practices adopted during Covid-19 could allow disabled people to be more active in the workplace. The aim of this paper is to analyse if the current supports are fit for purpose.
