Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme: Discussion

Mr. Ger Deering:

As the Deputy said, we live in hope. We have to have hope. We have to give the Minister the opportunity to deliver. I mentioned in my opening statement that we can only judge the group by its actions and not further plans or statements. It is urgently needed. I have no reason to doubt the Minister's resolve or determination, but we will be only about to judge it by the actions. I welcome that all of the players are at least sitting around the table. That has to be of some benefit.
