Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Voluntary Organisations in the Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Peter Murphy:
In many cases, such contact takes the form of formal or written submissions as part of a bigger process. On the specific issue of free travel, a campaign we have fought for more than ten years, approximately a year and a half ago we met the Minister of State, Deputy McGrath, to discuss the issue. He considered it fair that people who essentially were stopped from driving by the State should be compensated in some way by it.
