‹ Questions on Proposed Legislation Transport support for people with disabilities
Summary
Deputy Nolan asked whether the heads of the health and transport support Bill remained on schedule and what replacement would follow the discontinued transport grant and mobility scheme. The Tánaiste confirmed publication was intended for July.
It is envisaged that the heads of the health and transport support Bill will be published in July. Is it on schedule? The discontinuation of the transport grant and the mobility scheme has caused great hardship for people with disabilities. Does the Government envisage that the scheme to be put in place will be put in place by the Department of Social Protection? Will it be a new scheme or will there be an extension of the previous scheme?
