At least seven young adults with disabilities, who have been allocated day service places with St. Michael's House here in Dublin, are unable to access their places due to the absence of funding to cover transport. How is the health (transport support) Bill progressing? I understand this Bill will provide for a scheme to make individual payments as a contribution towards transport costs to people with severe disabilities on a low income who cannot access public transport. Does this Bill offer a means of addressing the transport needs of the St. Michael's House seven?
