Mr. Gerard O'Brien:

The way we see it, it is about flicking that on its head. As the Deputy said, fairly clearly, it is about making those kind of incentives available to people with disabilities to avail of grants to purchase these kind of vehicles. Dr. Lajoie also has some figures on the number of people with disabilities who are not in the workforce, which are pretty stark. Lack of transport is one reason they are not in the workforce, and lack of affordability is the reason for the lack of transport. It is certainly a challenge for policymakers and legislators to invert that and try to incentivise people with disabilities to get into the workforce, if they can. We are well behind the rest of Europe in trying to help people with disabilities to improve their circumstances, financially and socially. We all know people, some of whom are very well known, with disabilities who make a significant contribution to their communities.

They are just great role models. I am sure there are others who could make equally good contributions were they incentivised to do so.
