Mobility and transport grants
Deputy Ó Caoláin presses for the long-awaited replacement scheme for mobility and motorised transport grants and asks when the heads of Bill will be published. The Tánaiste says the Bill is intended for publication this term.
I raise again the long-awaited scheme to replace the mobility and motorised transport grants. I heard the Tánaiste's earlier response but I have been told on numerous occasions that the heads of the Bill would be presented shortly. We do not even have the heads of the Bill, yet the Tánaiste is saying she expects the legislation will be enacted before the end of the year. Is that really realistic? What is the delay? When can we expect the heads of the Bill so we can have a Parliament, with all its elements, really addressing the long-awaited replacement scheme?
