In the context of the health information and patient safety Bill, the mobility allowance was discontinued some years ago. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, who met a family from Tipperary with me, namely, Maggie Butler and her son Alex. This is a profound difficulty for families who have to have specially-adapted vehicles. We were told we would see the allowance in December or early January. When will it be reinstated? People who have children with disabilities need these vehicles.

This allowance was of great benefit to people who were unable to get wheelchair-accessible taxis. It helped them to get their children to medical appointments and school, etc. When will its restoration be announced or delivered on?

I understand the matter will be before the Cabinet in the next couple of weeks.
