Commencement Matters
Disabled Drivers and Passengers Scheme
10:30 am
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Minister of State. I am not unduly surprised by the reply. The reason I tabled this matter is to flag it for the future. As our economy becomes more buoyant we have a responsibility to ensure that all citizens are treated equally. Certainly, it is appropriate that the scheme be available to the six categories outlined, but a seventh category should be included. Hopefully, in the not to distant future and with our economy improving we might be in a position to facilitate that.
