2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport

Mr. Graham Doyle:
Before I answer the Deputy's question, I would like to point out that the free travel scheme is administered through the Department of Social Protection. I believe officials from the Department discussed this issue at yesterday's meeting of the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport. When any scheme is frozen as the free travel programme was frozen in 2010, there is no doubt that it causes issues.
