- Personal Reader

The Workplace Equipment Grant
The Workplace Equipment Grant provides up to €12,000 for assistive equipment or technology. It is available to employees and self-employed people who need specific tools to do their jobs effectively — in the workplace or from home.
New or existing employees and self-employed people can apply, and you can make the application yourself rather than waiting for an employer to do it.
