How can employers be more accessible to people with disabilities

The journey to Seónaid Ó Murchadha’s perfect job began with a fire — a fire that cost her both her legs and an arm.

As project manager of EDI (Employer Disability Information service), Seónaid sees herself as a sort of library for employers who want to be inclusive. In her late 30s, she’s perfectly placed to advise and inform employers who want to recruit, manage, and retain employees with disabilities. She’s passionate about this work because her life’s journey, since she was 18, has been about living and working with disability.
