In response to a question from Deputy Micheál Martin, the Tánaiste said that the heads of the health (transport support) Bill would be available in July. The mobility allowance has been suspended for more than three years. It was originally suspended because the Ombudsman took the view that the scheme was not broad enough. Three years down the road we are still talking about the heads of a Bill. Countless people have potentially qualified for the mobility allowance in the interim. Can the Tánaiste indicate when that Bill will be brought before the House for discussion? When will it become law? Constituents ask us about it every week.
