Mr. Peter Murphy:

Yes, absolutely. If a person has active seizures, it goes without saying he or she should exercise caution. It would make sense in terms of their independence and ability to function economically for people to automatically qualify for free travel on diagnosis of epilepsy or for as long as they cannot drive because of seizures. The Minister of State was very enthusiastic about this idea. Several weeks later we were put in touch with officials within the Department and every aspect of our plan was hit back to us. We were given six or seven reasons it could not happen.
