‹ Order of Business Transport support for disabled people
Summary
Frank Feighan sought legislation providing individual transport-cost support for people with severe disabilities, especially in rural areas. The Taoiseach could not give a publication date but promised an update.
There is an ongoing issue where people with severe disabilities cannot access public transport, in rural areas in particular. A Bill is required to ensure an individual payment would go towards contributing to transport costs. When will the health (transport support) Bill be brought before the House?
