Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Accessibility: Discussion

Ms Anne Graham:

That is noted. On wheelchair-accessible taxis, we increased grants this year to try to get more applications. I think we allocated up to €6 million; certainly €5 million was invested in the grant system. We may, with the approval of the Department, increase that grant to see if we can get more. The grant is very generous in terms of trying to ensure we get a new wheelchair-accessible fleet, as well as refurbishing the current fleet to be wheelchair accessible.
