When it is intended to restore the motorised transport grant and mobility allowance? I have asked this question on five previous occasions. This has been closed to new entrants since 2013, which is five years ago. I asked the Taoiseach's predecessor the same question on at least a dozen occasions and have consistently been told that it is being worked on. I have had the same response for the past five years. I understand that the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, introduced a memo to Cabinet recently on this matter which had to be withdrawn, so how much longer is it going to remain closed for?

The scheme is still being worked on. The Minister of State brought some proposals to Cabinet, but there were difficulties with them. Part of the issue is how a new scheme is designed and deciding on those to be included. The wider a scheme is, the more it costs, which makes it harder to do. Finding the correct balance for a new scheme and ensuring that it is doable and affordable is one of the difficulties but, as I understand it, it is the intention of the Minister of State to bring a proposal to the committee and to allow people to deliberate on it on an all-party basis.
