I have extended the scheme to those who are medically unfit and they will get the free travel pass. That was important.

I acknowledge the work of Epilepsy Ireland. I spoke to them on a number of occasions and they pointed out to me that people with epilepsy could not drive for over a year. They did a lot of work on that. I met with them, only last week, on World Epilepsy Day. We hope to invite applications for the new scheme in May. They were advocating for people with epilepsy but I was delighted I was able to expand it further.

In terms of the bikes scheme, I do not know the cost of hiring a bike.
