Annual Reports of the Ombudsman for 2018, 2019 and 2020: The Ombudsman

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

There is a need to separate out the two lots of schemes. When I last pressed on the matter, I was basically told it was too expensive. My office continues to have discussions on it every so often. The finance scheme relates to tax concessions rather than the schemes that offered grants, which were the subject of the report by Emily O'Reilly. I hope there will be progress on the hopelessly inequitable conditions relating to assessing disability, under which only certain types of disability qualify.

Does Ms Hanrahan want to add anything?
