I put it to the Deputy that it is possible that the scheme is not being properly marketed, but it could also be inertia – I do not know.

Deputy Rock started by saying the scheme was not working property and read from an article in The Irish Times. The Deputy seems to disregard that those operating the scheme have received no complaints. Is it not strange that the operators of a scheme that is apparently not working have had no complaints from Transport Infrastructure Ireland? To date, neither TII nor the individual service providers who operate the scheme have received any information, concerns or complaints from customers regarding the operation of the scheme. If 48% of people who qualify are not applying, it could be inertia or it could be a matter of the scheme not being properly advertised. To respond to the possibility that the Deputy is right, I will convey his remarks to TII.
