Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Role and Functions: Office of the Ombudsman

4:30 pm

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

Ultimately, the scheme was discriminatory, but there are people who need assistance with transport to be able to live as engaged members of their communities, to access facilities and so on. I am agnostic as to how the matter is resolved, just that it is resolved. If it requires new legislation, it should be introduced, but if it can be resolved without legislation, let it be resolved without it. The fundamental point is that it needs to be resolved.
