Sickness, Disability and Work: Breaking the barriers – Ireland

Billy Kelleher, Irish Minister for Labour Affairs, and John Martin, OECD Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, will present the report’s findings and recommendations at a news conference that same day. It will take place at 09.30 AM at the Government Press Centre, Taoiseach, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin.
