I seek clarification from the Minister of State on an issue that has often come up over the years and which relates to services for people with disabilities. Where a claim is made by an facility regarding VRT, there is a requirement that more than 50% of users must have disabilities. My understanding is that the Government is willing to consider a statutory instrument to provide that where there is one person with disabilities, a claim could be made. When does the Minister of State expect the statutory instrument to be published and on what date will organisations be able to avail of the measure?
