Mr. John Hogan:

Sorry Deputy but I think there is an important point. I know that constituents go to representatives such as the members here and they almost expect there is something in the system whereby people like this can be helped but the rigidity of the scheme which was under our auspices meant that people were often frustrated because they needed something like an additional rail in their car or seating at the back that was more accessible and all we could offer them was a complete upgrade of their motor.
