Committee on Public Petitions
Office of the Ombudsman Annual Report 2021: Office of the Ombudsman
Mr. Ger Deering:
Yes, the Department of Finance was responsible. I have written to the Department and engaged with it. It maintains it is only responsible for the policy and not for the implementation of the scheme. This is part of the difficulty. We need a Department that is responsible for the policy and the implementation on the ground. We need an easily accessible, universal scheme that gives people the means to provide themselves with personal transport.
