746. Deputy Arthur Spring asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if a person who is in receipt of invalidity pension or illness benefit, and previously purchased a commercial vehicle in a period when the person availed of the exemption arrangements where persons on illness benefit or invalidity pension could receive permission to work part-time for rehabilitative or therapeutic purposes and keep their full social welfare payment, should be entitled to continue to tax the vehicle as a commercial vehicle, when the exemption expired as a consequence of the person's reduced income; and if such a proposal should be brought to the relevant Minister and Department. [14012/15]

I refer to the reply to Question No. 540 of 3 March 2015 which sets out the position in this matter.
