‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Mobility allowance replacement
Summary
Deputy Troy asks when a replacement scheme for the discontinued mobility allowance will finally be introduced for people with disabilities. The Tánaiste says the Bill heads are expected before year end, followed by pre-legislative scrutiny.
More than three years ago the previous Government discontinued the mobility allowance for people with a disability. It promised that within six months a new scheme would be introduced. When can the people who suffer from a disability and who have been awaiting the introduction of a new scheme for the past two and a half years expect it to be introduced? When will the Government finally honour the commitment to introduce a new scheme?
