On disabled drivers, we had the national disability inclusion strategy transport working group. That was done and it was comprehensive.
We saw exactly where the money for transport is being spent across all the Departments.
Regarding disabled drivers, the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, put back in place the people who were based in the NRH in Dublin. They were the board that makes the determination. They are back in. On the scheme, we are advocating and talking to the Minister, Deputy Chambers, about that because it is a Department of Finance matter and that Department will have the final sign-off on the disabled drivers scheme.
