People in my constituency of Meath West have contacted me regarding the primary care medical certificate. They have applied to the HSE and have been told that they will not get the certificate pending a court case. The court case is not due before the courts until July 2021. These are some of the most vulnerable people. Some of them have no use of arms or legs and cannot get from A to B. Will the Taoiseach put a temporary scheme in place for these people until the court case is sorted to allow them to purchase vehicles? It should apply whether they are driving or passengers. We need to help our most vulnerable people.

I thank the Deputy for his point. Deputy MacSharry-----

Deputy Pauline Tully will speak on the same matter.

People have raised with me the issue of the primary medical certificate in one of the areas in Westmeath. It is not in my constituency but as disability spokesperson they came to me. They informed me there has been a waiting list of 45 applications since March. The offices are closed and people are working from home. It requires a face-to-face interview. That is causing the delay. Many of these people are in dire circumstances. Could this be speeded up or dealt with, please?

Deputy Marc MacSharry raised this with me last evening as well at our parliamentary party meeting. It is a serious issue. There are legal issues, as the Deputies have pointed out. I am waiting on a report back from the Minister to see how best we can approach it and deal with it.
