The rural transport issue was mentioned and earlier I referred to the rural transport initiative. The disabled person's grant for a woman in her 90s is a matter for the local authority, which needs to ensure an appropriate mechanism is in place to deal with priority cases. In answer to a point raised by Senator John Phelan, I have checked with Niall Crowley, chief executive officer of the Equality Authority, who has indicated that discrimination, whether positive or otherwise, should not exist. In the case referred to by Senator John Phelan, it may be appropriate for a statutory authority to have positive measures in place whereby priority can be given to an older person. I would be appalled to think that a local authority would not prioritise a lady in her 90s who requires appropriate alterations to her home and needs to avail of a disabled person's grant. I invite the Senator to bring the case to my attention if he feels it can be of benefit to do so.
